Oxy-fuel Combustion: Fundamentals, Theory and Practice provides a comprehensive review of various aspects of oxy-fuel combustion technology, including its concept, fundamental theory, pilot practice, large-scale feasibility studies and related practical issues, such as the commissioning and operation of an oxy-fuel combustion plant. Oxy-fuel combustion, as the most practical large-scale carbon capture power generation technology, has attracted significant attention in the past two decades. As significant progress has been achieved in worldwide demonstration and the oxy-combustion concept confirmed by Schwartze Pump, CUIDEN, Callide, Ponferrada and Yingcheng projects in the past five years, this book provides a timely addition for discussion and study.

About the author
Professor Zheng Chuguang is now a professor and Ph.D supervisor at Huazhong University of Science and Technology. He is the Director of Advanced Coal Technology Consortium, China-US Clean Energy Research Center. Professor Zheng has been involved in the development and theoretical study of coal combustion technology for a number of years. In acknowledgement of his efforts in research and development, He has received numerous awards, including second place in the National Award for Natural Sciences twice (2002, 2014), awards of Scientific and Technological Progress by the State Ministry of Education, and five first place awards at the provincial level.Liu Zhaohui is a member at the State Key Laboratory of Coal Combustion, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan, China. He has coordinated several national level oxy-fuel combustion related projects, leading to successful implementation and scaling up of oxy-fuel combustion technology from 0.3MW ,3MW, to 35MW in China; as well as completing the feasibility study of the 200 MWe full scale oxy-fuel demonstration. He has enhanced the understanding of fundamental research, key technology R&D and industrial demonstration of oxy-fuel combustion, and have produced more than 40 peer-reviewed journal articles and 20 patents.
