Dear friends,
 
Prof. LIU Zhaohui from Huazhong University of Science and Technology will present a seminar this Friday afternoon on Oxy-fuel combustion R&D in the State Key Laboratory of Coal Combustion (SKLCC) in China.
 
[Title] Oxyfuel R&D activities in State Key Laboratory of Coal Combustion
[Time] May 28th, Friday: 4:00pm~5:30pm (Refreshments at 3:50pm)
[Location] 3-343 (http://whereis.mit.edu/?go=3)
[Language] English
 
[Speaker] Professor LIU Zhaohui, Deputy Director, State Key Lab. Coal Combustion, Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST), China.
 
Dr. Liu got his bachelor degree in 1994 and then PhD degree in 2002 from HUST, major in Thermal Engineering. He had been professor at SKLCC since 2005. His research interests mainly focus on greenhouse gas reduction, gas-particle turbulence and combustion simulation. He is prime investigator of several state major fundamental research project (973), state high-tech R&D project (863), and projects of national science foundation of China (NSFC). He has series work on DNS/LES/PDF simulation and PIV measurement of gas-particle turbulence. In recent years, his group, coordinated with Prof. Zheng Chuguang, plays a leading role in R&D of Oxy-fuel coal combustion technology in China.
 
[Abstract] Oxyfuel R&D activities in SKLCC
 
China had been the largest single contributor to global CO2 emission at around 2009 although its CO2 emission on population base remains much lower than those of world average. The public concerns on carbon dioxide and global warming have been aroused in China in recent years. Among others, oxy-fuel combustion technology is a feasible choice for fighting the challenge of carbon capture. As early as mid 1990s, investigations on oxy-fuel combustion were started in Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST), China. Under the support of China’s 973 and 863 key projects (government funding), the State Key Laboratory of Coal Combustion (SKLCC) of HUST has successfully built up a 300kWt oxy-fuel pilot facility with multi-pollutant controls in 2006. This is the largest pilot facility for oxy-fuel research in China up to now. Validation of oxy-fuel conceptual designs has been carried out on this test facility. And HUST is going to built up a larger 3MWt facility with full chain of air separation, oxy-fuel combustion, flue gas cleaning and compression in 2010.
