Aluminum is an attractive alternative fuel,but it burns very inefficiently due to the formation of a dense Al2O3 layer which prevents O2 from diffusion to the surface of Al particles.In previous experiments,the combustion of millimeter-sized Al(mAl)particles in the fluidized bed has achieved a substantial increase in the combustion efficiency,but further improvements are still needed.In this study,the effects of reaction atmosphere on the fluidized combustion of mAl particles were investigated.The experiments with different O2/H2O/CO2 concentrations were conducted.The experimental results indicate that the combustion efficiency of mAl particles in fluidized bed increases as the mole fraction of O2,H2O or CO2 increases,and the highest combustion efficiency can reach 38.7%.After the analysis of the oxide film on the surface of aluminum particles,it was found that it is easier to generate the unstable θ-Al2O3 under CO2 atmosphere,and it is easier to generate the unstable γ-Al2O3 and θ-Al2O3 under H2O atmosphere.The unstable Al2O3 film is more likely to be abraded in the fluidized bed,which leads to the effective improvement of the combustion efficiency.
