Specialists from the Siberian Federal University (SFU) have created a technology for obtaining cheap energy from various industrial wastes. This was reported by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation (Ministry of Education and Science).
Scientists have found that the concentration of oxygen improves the stability of fuel ignition and the intensity of its combustion. The new method will help to obtain coal-water fuel (coal-water slurry) through oxygen combustion from recycled waste.
These are mainly wastes from coal processing plants and oil companies, solid municipal waste, used car tires, and wastes from various industries. As practice shows, fuel in the form of a suspension consisting of solid and liquid hydrocarbons and water can be prepared on the basis of such crushed waste.
Scientists decided to combine oxygen and droplet-torch combustion of coal-water slurry. This made it possible to reduce the level of harmful emissions and achieve a high degree of fuel burnout.
The technology of oxygen combustion of coal-water slurry allows you to get useful and affordable energy, while utilizing various wastes, which are abundant in large industrial cities. In our opinion, such power equipment can be installed near the formed waste deposits.
According to the specialist, the new technology will improve the environment and minimize the costs of transportation and disposal of waste.
Earlier www1.ru reported that Rostec is building four plants in the Moscow region for processing waste into energy.
