Combustion Emissions: Formation, Reaction and Removal of Trace Metals in Combustion Products presents the latest scientific knowledge of the combustion field with a particular focus on the behavior of elements in this high temperature method of energy generation. Dr. Schofield describes methods of control and establishes a solid base of understanding for future research, which increases productivity for energy researchers in combustion. Encyclopedic in style and consistent in format, each chapter systematically presents a complete analysis of the combustion behavior of each element and guides the reader in resolving specific problems safely and successfully. This includes source levels in fuels and fuel usage, emission and pollutant release into the environment and environmental effects, condensed phase nature and gas phase chemistry, expected behavior and examples from real cases.

Societal impacts and environmental concerns are considered throughout, highlighting sustainability aspects across a diverse range of applications such as within power plants, automobiles and propulsion. The inclusion of dynamic data will benefit engineers and scientists connected to high-temperature chemical systems crossing all technical areas from energy systems.

Presents the latest research in a very systematic way, and indicates the most plausible approaches for resolving specific energy problems
Includes methods of control and establishes a base of understanding for future research in energy systems
Analyses the individual behavior of 34 elements in turn, considering their chemistry, nature and environmental impacts in combustion.

Industry Reviews

"Understanding the mechanisms of emissions of trace metals from solid fuel combustion systems and its control is of immense importance in the design and operation of thermal power plants and equipment for process industries. The book under review by Keith Schofield provides a comprehensive overview of this subject." --Current Science "In the first part, the commonalities of the behaviour of various trace metals in combustion systems are discussed. It is in these six chapters lie the greatest strength of the book. The first part of the book is ideally suited as a text/reference for graduate level courses dealing with combustion and emissions. The rest of the book contains a detailed discussion of the behaviour of a large number of trace metals in combustion processes. This part of the book will be a valuable source of information on the known aspects, open questions and ongoing studies. An exhaustive list of references including studies as recent as 2019 is included, making this book a ready reference for students as well as practising engineers. Overall, the book is a welcome addition to the combustion literature." --CURRENT SCIENCE, VOL. 120, NO. 3, 10 FEBRUARY 2021
