Features: China is the world's largest producer and consumer of coal, but this has also led to severe environmental pollution issues. Clean coal combustion is a crucial component of clean coal technology and a primary measure to achieve sustainable development and address air pollution in China. This book was written with the urgent need to solve this problem in mind. In addition to discussing China's energy structure, atmospheric environment, and pre-combustion purification technologies, the book focuses on systematically introducing the formation mechanisms of pollutants during coal combustion, as well as various desulfurization, denitrification, and dust removal technologies during and after combustion, along with the latest high-efficiency, low-pollution coal combustion technologies. The book cites a large number of domestic and international literature sources and provides as much information as possible about the newest development and application achievements in clean coal combustion technology worldwide. The book is divided into seven chapters. Chapter 1 elaborates on the characteristics of China's energy structure; Chapter 2 introduces the environmental issues caused by coal combustion; Chapters 3 to 6 respectively describe pre-combustion purification technologies, the formation mechanisms of sulfur oxides and nitrogen oxides during coal combustion, and technologies to control their emissions, as well as post-combustion dust removal technologies; Chapter 7 introduces the latest high-efficiency, low-pollution coal combustion technologies. This book can serve as a reference for researchers, designers, engineering technicians, and management personnel in power generation, boiler design and manufacturing, coal, metallurgy, chemical, and environmental protection sectors. It can also be used as a teaching material for students and teachers in thermal engineering, environmental protection, and power generation at universities and colleges.
