Clean Coal and Sustainable Energy

This book gathers the proceedings of the 9th International Symposium on Coal Combustion, held in Qingdao, China in July 2019. It provides the latest research results on techniques for pulverized coal combustion and fluidized bed combustion, low-carbon energy and emission controls, and industrial applications. Highlighting research areas that are of great importance in promoting collaboration between related subjects and the technical development of coal-related fields, the book offers a valuable reference guide for researchers and engineers alike. 

Dr. Junfu Lyu is Professor at Institute of Thermal Engineering, Tsinghua University, where he received his Bachelor Degree in 1991, Master Degree in 1996, and Ph.D. in 2005. His interests lie in coal combustion, coal gasification, circulating fluidized bed combustion technology, hydrodynamic of boiler, and coal-fired pollutant control. He has once organized and hold a series of the key technology research and development plant of China government, the foundation of China National Nature Science, as well as the projects from enterprises. His achievement work includes the 600MW supercritical CFB boiler, the superheat steam generator by the salted wastewater from heavy oil recovery, and the ultra-low emission circulating fluidized bed boiler technology by limestone injection into furnace and low NOx combustion. These developed technologies have been commercialized and used widely. He was elected as the New Century Excellent Talents in University, the Outstanding Academy. He won the best paper award twice in 15th and 23th International Conference on Fluidized Bed Combustion. He got the first-class National Scientific & Technological Progress Award in 2017 and the second-class National Scientific & Technological Progress Award in 2005. Besides, he also won the first-class prizes in scientific & technological progress or invention from the Ministries and Commissions. He published more than 300 journal papers and 5 books. He has more than 70 authorized invention patents.
