Abstract: This paper presents results of experimental research into the ash behavior of different Bosnian coal types and biomass fired in an electrically heated entrained pulverized fuel flow experimental reactor. The results are derived from a series of tests performed under a range of temperature and air conditions for the fuel test matrix. In essence, the experimental reactor comprises a 3m length alumina–silicate ceramic tube, where combustion takes place, surrounded by SiC stick-type electric heaters and three-layer insulation. The temperature of the reaction zone is controlled by a programmable logic controller (PLC) with thyristor units for each of the heating zones, allowing the process temperature to be varied at will across the range from ambient to 1560°C.
