Abstract:
The phase of crystalline compounds in clinker of Texaco's furnace for heavy oil gasification process was identified by powder X-ray diffraction analysis method(PXRD). The major phases are mullite (Al
6Si
2O
13), bunsenite or nickel oxide (NiO) and awaruite (FeNi
3); the minor phase is maghemite (Fe
2O
3). Aluminium, silicon, oxygen, nickel and iron elements were detected by EDS and XRF in the clinker.This experiment has a guidance significance for the slagging technical analysis and technical improvements of Texaco's furnace for heavy oil gasification process.
