The combustion possibility of Indonesia KBB coal as a pulverized fuel for a thermal power plant was studied with a thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), drop tube furnace (DTF) and ignition temperature (IT) tester. TGA results showed that combustion patterns of coal samples were divided into devolatilization and oxidation reactions, and the fixed carbon contained with minor content in high moisture KBB coal (HM KBB) was quickly burned at a lower temperature than that of bituminous C&A coal (Design C&A). The linear regression for the Arrhenius plot to the experimental data is very good, and activation energies for overall combustion of Design C&A and HM KBB are 63.19 and 81.89 kJ/mol, respectively. It was derived that activation energies of dry KBB coal (Dry KBB) produced through drying of HM KBB and its mixture (Dry KBB Mixture) are 79.82 and 61.66 kJ/mol in reciprocal proportion to specific surface area. Test results show that the volatile content contained in coal samples except for HM KBB with the lowest surface area significantly improved the combustion reactivity. The conversion behavior of the coals observed in DTF was similar to that reflected in TGA. DTF studies showed that the combustion of Dry KBB Mixture was also completed at a residence time of around 1 s and set temperature range of 1,200 degrees C similar to commercial coal fired plant. Although Dry KBB has the highest conversion of the four coals, it was not appropriate as a single pulverized fuel of coal fired plant because its initial deformation (IDT) and ignition temperatures of about 1,088 and 198 degrees C, respectively, were too low to cause slagging in boiler, and firing at the pulverizer. The high IDT of Dry KBB Mixture ash with minimum of 1,250 degrees C is not expected to be associated with slagging and fouling in pulverized coal fired systems. The liability of spontaneous combustion of coal samples was increased with increasing the moisture and volatile contents whereas that of Dry KBB was the highest due to the high surface area. It was, therefore, proposed that the combustion of mixtures of Dry KBB with Design C&A was the most appropriate for the prevention of slagging and spontaneous combustion in pulverized coal fired boilers and has excellent combustion efficiency.
