Experimental investigations on spontaneous combustion of pulverized coal in the oxyfuel combustion system

CCS (Carbon Dioxide Capture and Storage) is one of the technologies able to adequately displace CO2 from fossil fuel fired power plants and the only technology capable of reducing large-scale emissions. In particular, coal emits a lot of CO2, although it is an important energy resource in terms of e...
