    Fuels and combustion

    The consumption of energy by chemical and biochemical process industries are

    quite large

    The process energy requirements are met by the combustion of fossil fuels

    The fossil fuels consist chiefly of carbon and hydrogen, with small amounts of

    oxygen, nitrogen ,sulphur ,mineral matter and moisture.

    The composition of fuels vary widely depending upon the type and source of the

    fuels.

    During combustion ,the chemical energy stored in the fuels is released as heat

    energy.

    The combustion process is the rapid chemical reaction of oxygen with materials

    and is used generally for the purpose of liberating heat energy.

    Majority of fossil fuels are being used in transportation, industries heating and

    generation of electricity.

    Crude petroleum is refined into gasoline; diesel and jet fuel that power the

    worlds transportation system.

    Today, fossil fuels are considered to be non-renewable for the reason that their

    consumption rate is far in excess of the rate of their formation.

    Coal

    About 250 to 350 million years ago coal was formed on earth in hot, damped

    regions.

    Almost 27350 billion metric tones of known coal deposits occur on our planet.

    Out of which about 56% are located in Russia, 28% in USA and Canada.

    India has about 5% of worlds coal reserve and that too not of very good quality

    in term of heat capacity.

    West Bengal, Jharkhand, Orissa, Andhra Pradesh, Madya Pradesh and

    Maharastra are the major coal producing states of India.

    Mainly, there are three types of coal:

    Anthracite or hard coal ( 90% carbon content)

    Bituminous or soft coal (85% carbon content)

    2/23

    Lignite or brown coal (70% carbon content)

    The present annual extraction rate of coal is about 3000 million metric tones, at

    this rate coal reserves may lasts for about 200 hundred years and if its use is

    increased by 2% per year then it will last for another 65 years.

    Oil:

    Crude oil, also called petroleum, is a thick liquid found in underground rock

    formations.

    The petroleum industry extracts crude oil out of the ground and then refines it

    into products such as gasoline.

    Crude oil contains a complex mixture of compounds made of carbon chains with

    hydrogen molecules attached to each link in the chain.

    Extracted crude oil also contains small amounts of sulfur, oxygen, and nitrogen

    compounds mixed with the hydrocarbons.

    The principle of oil refining is to remove crude oils impurities, that is, anything

    that is not a hydrocarbon.

    The following nations hold the largest oil reserves, in order:

    Saudi Arabia, Canada, Iran, Iraq, United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Venezuela,

    Russia, Libya, and Nigeria.

    Petroleum:

    Convenience of petroleum or mineral oil and its greater energy content as

    compared to coal on weight basis has made it the lifeline of global economy.

    Petroleum is cleaner fuel when compared to wood or coal as it burns completely

    and leaves no residue.

    Petroleum is unevenly distributed like any other mineral. There are 13 countriesin the world having 67% of the petroleum reserves which together form the

    OPEC (Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries)

    Six regions in the world are rich in petroleum USA, Mexico, Russia and West

    Asian countries. Saudi Arabia has one fourth of the world oil reserves.

    The oil bearing potential of India is estimated to be above one million square

    kilometers is about one third of the total geographic area.

    Northern plains in the Ganga-Brahmaputra valley, the coastal strips together with

    their off-shore continental shelf (Bombay High), the plains of Gujarat, the Thar

    Desert and the area around Andaman and Nicobar Islands are the places where

    oil reserves exist..

    Advantages and disadvantages of conventional oil:

    Advantage Disadvantage

    Ample supply for 40-50years Need to find substitute within

    Low cost (with huge substitutes) Air pollution when burnt,

    Releases carbon dioxide

    Easily transported within and between countries ,

    Efficient distribution system

    Moderate water pollution

    Low land use

    Technology is well developed

    Natural gas:

  • 7/29/2019 bi tp ha sinh - Ting anh

    4/23

    Natural gas mainly consists of Methane (CH4) along with other inflammable

    gases like Ethane and propane.

    Natural gas is least polluting due to its low Sulphur content and hence is cleanest

    source of energy.

    It is used both for domestic and industrial purposes.

    Natural gas is used as a fuel in thermal plants for generating electricity, as a

    source of hydrogen gas in fertilizer industry and as a source of carbon in tyre

    industry

    The total natural gas reserves of the world is about 600 000 billion m3, out of this

    Russia has 34%, Middle East 18%, North America 17%, Africa and Europe 9%

    each and Asia 6%.

    Annual production of natural gas is about 1250 billion m3 and hence it is

    expected to last for about 50-100 years.

    In India gas reserves are found in Tripura, Jaisalmer, off shore areas of Bombay

    and Krishna-Godavari Delta.

    Advantages and disadvantages of Natural gas:

    Advantage Disadvantage

    Ample supply for 125 years Non renewable resource

    High net energy yield Methane ( a green house gas)

    Low cost (with huge substitutes) Air pollution when burnt,

    Releases carbon dioxide

    Less air pollution than other fossil fuels Shipped across ocean as highly

    Easily transported by pipelines Requires pipelines

    Low land use

    Proximate and Ultimate Analysis of Coal

    The proximate analysis of coal is an empirical procedure for analysis of coal in order to

    list the composition in terms of the following items, all expressed as percentages by

    weight of coal The different items are Moisture, Volatile matter, Ash and Fixed carbon .

    Moisture: The loss of weight when coal is heated in an oven at 105 degree C.

    Volatile matter: The loss in weight when coal sample is heated in a covered crucible

    for about seven minutes at 950 centigrade minus the weight of the moisture.

    Ash:

    The weight of residue obtained when the sample of coal is subjected to complete

    combustion in a muffle furnace at 700-750 degree centigrade.

    Fixed carbon: Calculated as 100-the sum of moisture, Volatile matter and ash already

    obtained.

    Or FC= 100-(M+VCM +A)FC -Fixed carbon M-Moisture

    VCM-Volatile combustible matter A-Ash

    Ultimate Analysis of Coal

    The ultimate analysis of coal gives the composition as the percentage by weight of the

    various elements such as C, H, N, O, S, etc. and the ash. The ultimate analysis

  • 7/29/2019 bi tp ha sinh - Ting anh

    6/23

    provides the necessary data required for material balance in the combustion of coal.

    The analysis is carried out by elaborate and standard chemical techniques. The carbon

    dioxide, water and sulphur dioxide formed by burning coal in a sufficient supply of

    oxygen determine respectively the amounts of carbon, hydrogen and sulphur in coal.

    Carbon dioxide is absorbed in KOH solution to find the quantity of Carbon dioxide

    present. Water is found out by absorbing water in concentrated sulphuric acid or any

    suitable adsorbent like anhydrous calcium chloride or silica gel. Sulphur dioxide is

    absorbed in lead chromate.

    The nitrogen in coal is estimated by Kjeldahl method.

    The percentage of oxygen in the coal is found by subtracting the percentages of all

    other constituents from 100.

    Combustion Reaction

    Orsat analysis is the analysis with out water and SO3 free. The flue gases contain water

    and SO3 if sulphur is present along with other products of combustion. In the presence

    of H2O vapor and SO3 the analysis will be difficult .Therefore H2O and SO3 are removed

    before analysis and the composition of other constituents are presented in flue gases.

    Such analysis is called orast analysis. Orsat apparatus is used for the analysis.
