The paper discusses the possibility of using the reversible reaction CaCO3 ↔ CaO + CO2 for the cyclic capture and release of CO2 directly inside a fluidised bed combustor. This could lead to the lowering of CO2 emissions into the... more
This study presents the use of fluidised bed combustion to produce thermal energy, aluminium recovery and the reduction of the Tetra Pak and Combibloc packaging waste stream. Fluidisation and the pneumatic transport, which take place in... more
The paper discusses the possibility of applying the reversible reaction CaCO3 ↔ CaO + CO2 in cyclic capture and release of CO2 directly inside a fluidised bed combustor. This would cause lowering CO2 emissions to the atmosphere, thanks to... more
The subject of the research was the influence of N2O on propane combustion in a fluidized bed reactor with active and chemically inert beds. It was determined that CaO has a significant influence on shifting the area in which the reaction... more
Burning premixed fuel-air mixtures in a bubbling fluidized bed is accompanied by some characteristic phenomena. The most striking one is the production of acoustic effects, indicating that combustion is not really continuous. A second,... more
The paper presents the results of the disposal of packaging waste from two companies: Tetra Pak and Combibloc, carried out in a fluidized bed boiler of rated thermal power 0.5 MW. The material introduced into the fluidized bed boiler... more
A bubbling fluidised bed reactor has been used for investigating how combustion propagates between bubbles of premixed fuel + air, rising from the distributor towards the surface. Earlier work has shown that when the temperature of the... more
W prezentowanej pracy przedstawiono wyniki badań eksperymentalnych procesu spalania paliw gazowych w inertnym złożu fluidalnym. Zaprezentowano efekty spalania związane ze składem spalin oraz zjawiska dynamiczne zachodzące wewnątrz warstwy... more
The paper presents the parametric analysis of the autothermicity and multiplicity of steady states for a system consisting of two fluidized bed reactors, in which coal gasification takes place, connected by solids recycle. All important... more

Acoustic effects accompany the combustion of gaseous fuels in bubbling fluidized beds of inert materials. In an exploratory study of this effect, using a laboratory-size fluidized bed in which a mixture of propane and butane was burned,... more
There is presented a theoretical analysis of the statics and dynamics of systems based on a cascade of continously stirred tank reactors. Three types of systems were numerically investigated: a simple cascade of reactors, a cascade with a... more
