Abstract

O2/H2O combustion is regarded as a new generation of Oxy-fuel combustion technology, which is expected to be applied in coal-fired power plants to achieve carbon capture. However, the research on O2/H2O combustion technology is still at the laboratory stage, some fundamental issues need to be addressed before industrial demonstration, especially in the areas of high O2 and H2O concentration. Based on the relevant experimental and simulation studies, this paper systematically reviews the O2/H2O combustion of pulverized coal. Firstly, the economy and efficiency of the O2/H2O combustion power generation system are introduced, indicating that the O2/H2O combustion technology is feasible. And H2O will make the thermochemical conversion process in O2/H2O combustion to produce new phenomena and problems for its different physical and chemical properties from CO2 and N2. Secondly, we discussed the thermal conversion characteristics of pulverized coal in O2/H2O atmosphere, including pulverized coal ignition, volatile combustion, thermochemical reaction of char, and the conversion of N. Finally, based on the review and summary, we put forward future research needs.
