Conclusion

Ranging of coals according to the slagging properties of similar type and investigated coals could be made on the basis of the available reference data. However, to define the slagging and fouling properties of a random coal it is necessary to carry out additional laboratory research.

Along the boiler dact various types of deposits are formed depending on temperature zones and properties of coals. We distinguish the following types of deposits: slag, iron enriched, sulphur-bounded, fouling based on active sodium and fine dispersed (loose). The method has been suggested to define the tendency (potential) of a coal to form deposits of various types. It is taken into consideration, that similar deposits could be formed according to different patterns as well as the fact that the forming of deposits of various types may be a competitive process. The latter means, that in specific conditions there are deposits the rate of forming of that is higher.

On the basis of a large experimental material it has been worked out methods of the approximated evaluation of slagging properties using the widely available data and recommendations concerning the use of information on slagging properties of coals for choosing the characteristics of the boiler.
