Research objectives

The Institute of Clean Combustion Science and Technology team aims to achieve clean and efficient combustion by coupling clean combustion theory with high efficiency and low pollution combustion technology. Combustion heating and power generation are the main utilization methods of primary energy in China, and carbon-based solid fuels such as coal and biomass will produce a large amount of pollutants such as NOx, SOx and Hg in the combustion process, which will cause serious harm to the environment. With the rapid development of China's economy, our country's demand for energy is more and more, and the pollution caused by fuel combustion is becoming more and more prominent, so it is urgent to recognize the transformation law of N, S and Hg in combustion process from the combustion mechanism, and to realize the deep emission reduction of NOx, SOx and Hg. The research team focused on fuel structure and reactivity, the evolution of N, S, Hg and other elements, key scientific issues such as the formation mechanism of NOx, SOx, Hg and other pollutants, using Raman, FT-ICR-MS, in situ infrared with advanced testing technology and computer-aided optimization numerical experiments, the research on clean combustion theory is deeply carried out, and the research results are used for the diagnosis and transformation of the combustion site, combined with low-nitrogen, SCR denitration and other technologies to achieve clean and efficient combustion of fuel.
