The influence of coal rank, particle size, temperature and residence time on PM10 emission was studied through combustion tests with 4 typical types of coal in a drop tube furnace (DTF). Results show that anthracite generally has low PM10 emission, and bituminous coal has high PM1+ emission, whereas two types of lignite have high PM1- emission with inconsistent PM1+ emission trends. The effect of particle size varies greatly with the coal rank; with the rise of particle size, the PM10 emission of bituminous coal increases, and the PM10 emission of high rank lignite increases first and decreases later on, while low rank lignite almost has no change in PM10emission. With the rise of temperature, the PM10emission rises first and reduces later on, in the case the highest temperature is above the ash fusion point. With the elongation of residence time in high temperature zone, fine PM10 particles have a tendency to agglomerate into large ones.
