The Spatial Composition Of Major Elements In Ash From Energy Coal Combustion
Keywords:
energy coal, coal combustion ash, phase composition, mineral phases, chemical elements, quartz, magnetite, industrial utilization.Abstract
Coal combustion remains a principal method for electricity and heat generation globally. The mineral matter inherent in coal transforms during combustion into ash, a heterogeneous residue containing various inorganic elements and compounds. Detailed knowledge of the spatial distribution and chemical composition of these elements is essential for optimizing combustion efficiency, minimizing environmental impacts, and enhancing the industrial utilization of ash.
