'.CE& TECHNOLOGY * No.82A-201l mango) were bumt without stoking during the test while the rice straw was bumt with stoking to keep the combustion stable No spillage of the smoke or flame blown-away was observed Different parameters related to the fuels and burning conditions including moisture and sulfur contents of the fuels, the temperature of the flue gas (at the traverse point), the temperature of the flame, unburnt mass of the fuels were measured The information on the fuels and combustion is provided in Table I Sampling Point | r I 9001 using a stack sampler of CASELLA (UK) in accordance to US EPA modified method [3] The small stack diameter (11 cm) could accommodate only one traverse point with the position detennined by US EPA method [4] The sampling probe was thus fi.xed and sampling port was closed using insulation material to minimize disturbances to the gas flow During the sampling, the filter box and the sampling probe were heated at around 120 "C Gaseous pollutants in the flue gas were measured using a monitor of Drager MSI PR02 (Germany) In order to obtain the net concentrations of the air pollutants in the flue gas, the levels of these pollutants in the ambient air in surrounding area were also monitored using a monitor of QUEST EVM - Series (US) III RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS I 4281: 35wn "t" V^'atchjng dj> h- -A Figure Hood and sampling port A hood (Figure 1) was used to capture the flue gas from the cookstove The hood was designed and installed following the standard method presented in the previous studv [2] Sampling'measuring was done through a port in the hood flue pipe The port was located at and flue pipe diameters downstream and upstream from disturbances, rcspectivelv to ensure the unifonn How of the flue gas and representative sampling of PM [3] Samples of PM were collected isokineticallv on the ulass fibre filters 3.1.; lilluns Seven burning batches per fuel were conducted The summary information of the fuels and combustion are presented in Table The rice straw is found to have the highest temperature of the flue gas (75 °C) but the lowest burning rate (151 g/h) among the fuels studied Besides the heat values, this can be explained as that the rice straw had better burning condition as it was burnt in terms of smaller pieces It means that its burning had better oxygen supply/contact i.e better combustion with higher flame resulting in higher temperature However, its burning process was slowed down by the stoking during the test (while other fuels were not stoked) leading to the lowest buming rate For the wood fuels, buming conditions can be considered to be the same However, the mango seemed to have a better combustion than that of the eucalv plus as its burring rate and temperature of the flue gas were higher The moisture content of the fuels may be the reason for this: the moisture content of the mango (7.4%o) was lower than that of the eucalyptus (14.1%)) J O I RNAL OF SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY Sample code BDI BD2 BD3 BD4 BD5 BD6 BD7 ^Fuel : — ^ c -Jl CXI - CX2 CX3 CX4 CX5 CX6 CX7 Rl R2 R3 R4 R5 R6 R7 Table Summary of the fuels and Moisture Sample Amount Amount content ("o) mass (g) unburnt (g) bumt (g) 500.30 65.73 434.57 63.41 500.30 436.89 500.30 61.28 439.02 14 = 1.0 500.02 65.79 434.23 500.20 51.05 439.15 500.24 64.01 436.23 432.24 500.34 68.10 Average 500.91 39 64 461.27 500.42 53.54 ! 446.88 464.17 500.02 35.85 '' 7.4=0.4 500.48 46.38 454.10 500.67 59.12 -' 441.55 45.49 454.91 500.40 500.91 39.64 454.91 Averaac 500.40 75.88 424.52 500.80 72.85 427.95 500.32 425.36 74.96 15.6=0.6 500.50 70.87 429.63 500.52 72.92 427.60 500.23 72.55 427.68 500.13 72.63 427.50 Averaiic 3.2 Emission factor Emission factors of PM CC C"()^ and SO for domestic sources using the eucalyptus, mango and rice straw were determined Results obtained are presented in Table It is known that the emission factor is dependent on dilTerenl factors including the fuel composition and the burning condition It means that the comparisons mav be relative However, the emission factors of PM CO CO: and SOobtained in this studv can be considered to be in the same range with those in others |2 6, 7] Higher emission factor of PM of the rice straw mav be explained as that this fuel is lighter and was burnt in terms of smaller pieces resulting in more panicles suspended The burning conditions for the wood fuels in this studv were similar lierefore as anticipated, the emission factor of SO of the euealvptus was higher than that of the mango because S content of the fomier |l).6 ...
