To reduce emissions from coal-fired power plants, researchers focusing on coal and biomass co-firing technology. Biomass, with its carbon-neutral nature and lower quantities of nitrogen and sulfur compared with coals, has a positive impact on coal-fired power generation. Many studies on the combustion of biomass have been conducted, but the study on the combustion characteristics of biomass char is limited. FERPM predicts char combustion characteristics with high accuracy by introducing experimental data-based parameters of biomass char and has not yet been applied in numerical simulation. In this study, FERPM is numerically applied to char combustion of wood pellets representing wood-based biomass and the combustion characteristics are compared with the kinetic/diffusion limited model, intrinsic model, and diffusion limited model.

Due to the increasing demand of high rank coal, the use of low rank coal, which has economically advantage, is rising in various industries using carbonaceous solid fuels. In addition, the severe disaster of global warming caused by greenhouse gas emissions is becoming more serious. The Republic of Korea set a goal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by supporting the use of biomass from the Paris International Climate Change Conference and the 8th Basic Plan for Electricity Supply and Demand. In line with these worldwide trends, this paper focuses on investigating the combustibility of high rank coal Carboone, low rank coal Adaro from Indonesia, Baganuur from Mongolia and, In biomass, wood pellet and herbaceous type Kenaf were simulated as kinetic reactivity model. The accuracy of the pore development model were compared with experimental result and analyzed using carbon conversion and tau with grain model, random pore model, and flexibility-enhanced random pore model. In row lank coal and biomass, FERPM is well-matched kinetic model than GM and RPM to using numerical simulations.
