Effect of Limestone Addition to Coal on SO2 Emission Control and Erosion-Corrosion Behaviour of Rifle Bore Bed Tube in AFBC Boiler K. Ravi, M. Matheswaran, S. A. Srinivasan Solid Fuel Chemistry, 2024 Abstract The re-engineered feedstock technique converts low-quality coal into high-quality coal using physical processing on AFBC boiler under full scale with coal as primary fuel. The physical feedstock mixing was adapted as it is identified as having the potential to improve the quality, environmental impact, and energy efficiency of coal combustion. The addition of 6.3% of limestone significantly reduced the SO2 emissions by 34% and the structural stability was ensured by the retained Fe. The erosive corrosive studies ensures no degradation to the structural material due to the introduction of the limestone particulates. The reduced concentration of sulphur content in the flue gas and passivation of surfaces with the limestone together synergetically reduced the erosion-corrosion effect on the rifle tube section.
Laser surface texturing for enhancing microbial fuel cell-based electricity generation from wastewater Prabu Govindarajan, Muthukannan Duraiselvam, Manickam Matheswaran, Amrish Prabakaran, Tamilmani Jayabalan, Varatharajulu Muthukrishnan Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers Part A Journal of Power and Energy, 2022 A high volume of wastewater is drained out every year from agriculture and industrial operations. In the present study, Microbial Fuel Cells (MFC) are used to generate electricity from sugarcane wastewater using titanium as an anode material. Besides, three different laser texturing such as linear pattern (LP), sinusoidal pattern (SP), and waviness pattern (WP) are created on titanium surface to enhance the electricity production and has been compared with the un-textured surface (UTS). In addition, water contact angle and roughness are measured on un-textured surface, LP, SP, and WP surfaces which are 60°, 45°, 34°, 20° and 2.9 μm, 10.7 μm, 15.9 μm, and 19.0 μm, respectively. Results show that laser textured surfaces exhibit a higher power density than the un-textured surface. The improvement in power density is 2–3.5 times that in un-textured surfaces. The outcome of this study indicates that laser textured microbial fuel cells can be considered as an efficient technique for generating electricity from the wastewater and also this could be considered as a new technique to offset wastewater treatment plant operating costs.
