Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Increasing anthropogenic emissions of CO2 have been identified as a major driver of global warming. Carbon dioxide capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technology is broadly recognized as one of the near-term to mid-term solutions, which plays a key role with respect to climate change mitigation.

This Special Issue, titled “Carbon Dioxide Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS): 3rd Edition”, invites articles that address state-of-the-art technologies and new developments for CCUS, including but not limited to precombustion carbon capture, post-combustion carbon capture, oxy-fuel or chemical looping combustion, CO2 conversion to generate synthetic fuels, biomass thermal conversion, CO2 storage, BECCUS, and other negative emission technologies. Articles that engage with the latest research topics with respect to CCUS are particularly encouraged, such as direct air capture, electrochemical and thermochemical CO2 catalytic reduction, biological conversion of CO2, etc. Moreover, articles that discuss and drive the research directions of CCUS are of particular interest.

As a reliable peak-shaving power source, coal-fired boilers’ flexible operation technology has become a key support for achieving the low-carbon transition. To enhance the peak-shaving capacity of the boiler, it is urgent to explore the transient mechanisms of flow, combustion, and heat transfer under dynamic conditions. In this study, the heat transfer characteristics of the burner under varying load conditions and the combustion characteristics in boilers under low and dynamic load conditions are investigated by CFD numerical simulation technology based on a 10 MW coal-fired test bench. The results indicate that at load rates of 2%/min and 4%/min, heat flux density remains mostly consistent across the upper wall of the furnace. At 6%/min, the heat flux near dense pulverized coal flow exceeds that near fresh coal flow. At 60% load, the flow fields are symmetrical, optimizing flame filling and distribution. As the load drops to 40%, the upper flow field begins to distort, and by 20% load, turbulence and uneven temperature distribution arise. At 20% load, the one-layer burner demonstrates superior flow field stabilization compared to the two-layer configuration, with particle concentration remaining lower near the wall above the burner but higher in the cold ash hopper, while high-temperature zones predominantly concentrate in the furnace center with minimal areas exceeding 1900 K. A boiler designed for concentration separation enhances airflow and decreases wall particle concentration at 20% load, resulting in a more uniform temperature distribution with high-temperature zones further from the walls.
