『Abstract
Coal combustion will continue to be a major component of energy
production in the foreseeable future, owing to its abundance in
China. A primary challenge will be to seek ways to utilize the
coal resources in an environmentally acceptable manner. This paper
presents the coal combustion scenario and its related air pollution
in China. Some commonly used technologies for removing the pollutants
from coal combustion had been introduced after comparison of its
utilization efficiency, engineering investment-, and operation
expense. In order to cost-effectively reduce the pollutant emission,
it is necessary to enhance the coal utilization efficiency by
implementing large-scale advanced technologies and increasing
the coal-washing rate. There is dire need for indigenously developed
techniques for the pollution control to reduce the engineering
cost. The development of low-cost, low water-consuming flue gas
desulfurization technologies, low-cost technologies for reducing
NOx emission, and low-cost advanced technologies
for inhalable particle emission control, must be predominantly
paid attention.
