On trimodal particle size distributions in fly ash from pulverized-coal combustion | 2002 | trimordal particle size distributions; fly ash; pulverized-coal combustion; fine particles; PM | Combustion-generated fine particles, defined as those with aerodynamic diameters less than 2.5 lm, have come under increased regulatory scrutiny because of suspected links to adverse human health effects. Whereas classical theories regarding coal combustion suggest that mechanisms of ash vaporizatio... |

High-temperature interactions between multiple-metals and kaolinite | 2002 | high-temperature interactions; multiple-metals; kaolinite | High-temperature combustion flue gases provided the environments for this investigation of multiple-metals interactions with dispersed kaolinite. Whereas previous research was restricted to interactions of single-metals with kaolinite powders, this work focuses on understanding how kaolinite transfo... |
