Environmental Impact of Ultrafine Particles from Sewage Sludge-Coal Co-combustion: Quantification and Mitigation

Project: FDCRGP

Project Details

Grant Program

Faculty Development Competitive Research Grants Program 2025-2027

Project Description

The aim of this research proposal is to assess emissions of ultrafine particles during co-combustion of municipal sewage sludge with low-rank bituminous coal in a drop-tube furnace and laboratory scale fluidized bed reactor. Furthermore, mitigation strategies will be evaluated by monitoring and adjusting operating conditions of the rig, inclusions of additives, and combustion environment.
