During the four decomposition stages of the blends according to the (D)TG experiments, the interaction among Na, Ca, F, Al, and S led to CaAl2O4, CaF2, and Na2SO4 which converted inorganic compounds into ash. Increased comprehensive combustion index, and decreased burnout temperature with 50% SPL indicated a better combustion and char burnout, and a shorter combustion process. CaO reduced the F volatilization and increased F- in the residual ash with 10% CaO. NaF was completely converted into CaF2 reducing the toxicity of soluble F- in the residual ash. The predom diagram of Na-Ca-F-S using thermal simulations showed the stable existence regions of CaF2 and Na2SO4. The changed migration mechanisms of F- and S caused ash compositions to consist of Na2SO4 and CaF2 for the co-combustions, and of NaF and CaSO4 for the mono-combustions. 10% CaO promoted CaF2, Na2SO4, CaAl2O4, and to a lesser extent, Fe2O3. The main gases evolved from the co-combustion included HF, SO2, COS, CS2, HCN, NH3, NO, and NO2. (C) 2019 Elsevier Ltd.
