摘要 |
A three-stage combustion process is disclosed in which solid carbonaceous fuel is burned with a deficiency of air in a first zone leaving unburned fuel and producing a flue gas rich in CO. The unburned fuel is separated from the first zone flue gas and burned in a second zone with an excess of air to produce a flue gas containing excess oxygen. The flue gases from the first and second zones are then burned in a third zone to complete the combustion process with the total amount of air used in the first and second zones being approximately the stoichiometric amount required for complete combustion.
