The proceedings of the 20th International Conference on Fluidized Bed Combustion (FBC) collect 9 plenary lectures and 175 peer-reviewed technical papers presented in the conference held in Xian China in May 18-21, 2009.The conference was the 20th conference in a series, covering the latest fundamental research results, as well as the application experience from pilot plants, demonstrations and industrial units regarding to the FBC science and technology. It was co-hosted by Tsinghua University, Southeast University, Zhejiang University, China Electricity Council and Chinese Machinery Industry Federation.
A particular featureofthe proceedings is the balance between the papers submitted by experts from industry and the papers submitted by academic researchers, aiming to bring academic knowledge to application as well as to define new areas for research.
The authorsofthe proceedings are the most active researchers, technology developers, experienced and representative facility operators and manufacturers. They presented the latest research results, state-of-the-art development and projects, and the useful experience.
The proceedings are divided into following sections:
- CFB Boiler Technology, Operation and Design
- Fundamental Research on Fluidization and Fluidized Combustion
- C02Capture and Chemical Looping
- Gasification
- Modeling and Simulation on FBC Technology
- Environments and Pollutant Control
- Sustainable Fuels
The proceedings can be served as idea references for researchers, engineers, academia and graduate students, plant operators, boiler manufacturers, component suppliers, and technical managers who work on FBC fundamental research, technology development and industrial application.
The editors would like to take this opportunity to thank our FBC colleagues around the world who devoted muchoftheir time to review the manuscripts to keep the scientific standard ofthe proceedings.
