Before the coal is burned, it is pulverized to the fineness of talcum powder. It is then mixed with hot air and blown into the firebox of the boiler. Burning in suspension, the coal/air mixture provides the most complete combustion and maximum heat possible.
Waste Heat. As coal is burned in a power plant to produce electricity, there is a significant amount of heat generated from the boiler that typically goes unused. However, recently many coal-fired power plants are looking to utilize this waste heat to produce ethanol.ly Ash. Fly ash is a fine particulate waste product produced during coal combustion. When used instead of cement, the ash enhances the quality of the finished concrete product by making it stronger, more durable and easier to finish.
