COAL ADDITIVE FOR REDUCING THE AMOUNT OF CARBON IN FLY ASH RESULTING FROM COMBUSTION OF COAL AND METHOD FOR LOWERING AMOUNT OF CARBON IN FLY ASH FROM BURNING COAL BY ADDING MANGANESE ADDITIVE TO COAL

摘要

PURPOSE: To provide a manganese-containing additive and a method for reducing the amount of carbon in fly ash resulting from the combustion of a mixture of coal and a manganese-containing compound using the manganese-containing additive. CONSTITUTION: The method comprises tue steps of (a) mixing coal with an additive that includes a manganese-containing compound to form a mixture thereof; and (b) combusting the mixture in a combustion chamber, wherein the manganese-containing compound is present in an amount effective to reduce the amount of carbon in fly ash resulting from the combusting of the coal in the combustion chamber.
