Clean Coal Engineering Technology de Bruce G. Miller

Clean Coal Engineering Technology

Autor Bruce G. Miller
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 24 oct 2016
Clean Coal Engineering Technology, Second Edition provides significant information on the major power generation technologies that aim to utilize coal more efficiently, and with less environmental impact. With increased coal combustion comes heightened concerns about coal’s impacts on human health and climate change, so the book addresses the reduction of both carbon footprints and emissions of pollutants, such as particulate matter, nitrogen oxides, and mercury.
Part 1 provides an essential grounding in the history of coal use alongside coal chemical and physical characteristics, worldwide distribution, and health and environmental impacts. Part 2 introduces the fundamentals of the major coal utilization technologies and examines the anatomy of a coal-fired power plant before going on to provide an overview of clean coal technologies for advanced power generation. Next, users will find a group of chapters on emissions and carbon management that have been extensively enlarged and updated for the second edition, thus reflecting the ever-increasing importance of this area.
The final section of the book focuses on clean coal technology programs around the world and the future role of coal in the energy mix. This fully revised and selectively expanded new edition is a valuable resource for professionals, including environmental, chemical, and mechanical engineers who seek an authoritative and thorough one-volume overview of the latest advances in cleaner power production from coal.


  • Provides a thorough, yet readable, one-volume guide to advanced power generation technologies for cleaner electricity production from coal
  • Retains the essential background information on coal characteristics and the fundamentals of coal-fired power generation
  • Presents extensively expanded and updated coverage on technologies for the reduction of pollutants, including particulate matter, sulfur oxides, and mercury
  • Emphasizes carbon capture methods, storage, and emerging technologies for the reduction of carbon footprints, alongside a discussion of coal’s future in the energy mix

Recenzii

"This is the second book by Bruce Miller and the author describes it as an update of the first book Coal Energy Systems published by Elsevier in 2005. The title has been changed to reflect the greater emphasis on ‘clean’ coal technologies to reduce the environmental impact of coal utilization…. It is very much an update of the 2005 text, with all of the chapters and sections from the original included and updated by substituting more recent data, for example on coal and energy reserves and consumption and the status of coal technology developments particularly in the United States…. [T]he book provides a good overview of the regulatory and environmental challenges facing the coal industry in the United States, and the programs and technologies being developed to address them." --AIE’s EnergyNews, December 2011
