COMBUSTION OF CARBON-CONTAINING FUEL WITH SLAG REMOVAL ARRANGEMENT

摘要

A process and apparatus for the combustion of carbon-containing fuel in a reaction zone, with the products of combustion being removed from the top of the reaction zone and the slag from the bottom of the reaction zone. The reaction zone is separated from the bottom of the reactor by a partition wall having a central opening through which the slag is removed. The central opening is maintained open by a cylindrical member that is mounted below the partition wall and moved upwardly to clear the opening.
