Abstract
Abstract: The necessary conditions and integral characteristics of the ignition and subsequent combustion of mixed fuels prepared on the basis of peat, crude oil, and water were studied. Fuel mixtures were burned in the form of a layer (a weighed sample), slurry droplets, or pellets in a model combustion chamber at a temperature of 300–900°C. The results were compared with data obtained upon the combustion of lean coal under analogous conditions. The experimental results illustrate the energy and environmental feasibility of the combined burning of peat and oil-containing components in a fuel and energy cycle. As found experimentally, the composite fuels have a sufficiently high energy and environmental potential, and they can be used as a primary or secondary energy source.
