Oxy-fuel refers to technology that burns pure oxygen with gaseous
fuel. As compared to
air, which contains
20.95% oxygen, higher temperatures can be reached using pure oxygen.
Approximately the same total energy is produced when burning a fuel with oxygen
as compared to with air; the difference is the lack of temperature-diluting
inert gases. The most common fuel burned in a torch with oxygen is acetylene;
even though it presents special handling problems, it has the greatest heat
output.
The process has also been proposed as a method of capturing
carbon dioxide from coal-fired electric power plants because the output flue gases
from combustion in oxygen as opposed to air have a higher carbon dioxide
content fraction. See Oxy-fuel combustion process.
