Abstract
Particulate matter (PM) pollution from coal combustion is a leading contributor to influence atmospheric visibility, photochemical smog and even global climate. A drop tube furnace was employed to explore the effects of temperature and chemical speciation of mineral elements on PM formation during combustion of Zhundong coal. Chemical fractionation analysis (CFA), X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES) were used to investigate the chemical and physical characteristics of the solid samples. It can be indicated that the combustion of similarly sized coal particles yielded more PM10 when the combustion temperature was increased from 1000 to 1400 °C. H2O-soluble mineral elements mainly affected the formation of PM0.2 while organically bound mineral elements impacted the amount of PM0.2-1 generated. Washing with HCl acid was the most effective method for decreasing the production of PM 1-10.
