Ash fusion temperature (AFT) is an important index for coal gasification. A blend of fluxing agent with coal can decrease the AFT to meet the requirements of specific gasification process. Effect of alkaline oxide and silica alumina ratio on decreasing AFT is focused in this study. Simulation ash was used to investigate the effect of alkaline oxide on AFT. The experimental results showed that ...
There exists a number of studies, demonstrating that the chemical and mineral composition of the coal ash governs its melting characteristics and fusion temperatures (Gray 1987; Kucukbayrak et al. 1993; Vorres 1979; Vassilev et al. 1995; Winegartner and Rhodes 1975).Since the composition of the ash influences the AFT magnitudes and, thereby, performance of a coalbased process, it is essential ...
Coal B belongs to anthracite with high degree of metamorphism, and the Al 2 O 3 content in ash plays a "skeleton" role in the melting process is the highest ( wt%); these two points may be the main factors of its AFT higher than coal D and coal S.

Mining is a process that is known to have a tremendous effect on both the land that the mine is contained within and the surrounding areas. Two of the most common mining processes are those of underground mining and strip mining. Underground mining is known to cause a variety of things to take place, during the mining process. As a mining ...
Mining coal. Coal miners use large machines to remove coal from the earth. Many coal deposits, called coal beds or seams, are near the earth's surface, but others are deep mining methods allow coal miners to easily reach most of the nation's coal reserves and to produce about three times more coal in one hour than in 1978.
Accordingly, this study presents computational intelligence (CI) based nonlinear models to predict the four AFTs using the oxide composition of the coal ash as the model input. The CI methods used ...
Blending is a promising method to modify the ashfusion characteristics of coal to meet gasification requirements. To investigate the variation in ashfusion behavior for high ashfusiontemperature (AFT) coal through coal blending and its regulating mechanism, the ashchemistry characteristics of four coals (Nantun, Pengzhuang, Biaodian, and Xiangyuan) were analyzed.
Coal is an organic rock with dual pore structure, and its thermal fracture mode is significantly different from that of sandstone, granite and other sedimentary rocks under heat treatment [1], [35], [36]. In the process of heat treatment, the free water in coal evaporates, which reduces the propagation speed of Pwave and Swave.
The Shell coal gasification process (SCGP) can operate on a wide variety of feedstocks. It consists of three principal stages: 1. Gasification (partial oxidation), in which the feedstock is converted to syngas in the presence of oxygen and a moderating agent (steam) in a refractorylined gasification reactor. 2.
The leaching kinetics is characterized by a quick release of rare earth elements within the first few minutes of the process. For the West Kentucky No. 13 coal source, ∼75% of the REEs were leached in the first 15 min from the specific gravity (SG) fraction that was calcined at 600 °C. Additionally, the leaching kinetics of the ...
There are many types of specifications used to describe coal, these. include: Geological location, basin, seam, and rank. Physical heating value, size, moisture, ash, HGI, ash fusion temp. Chemical sulfur, ash chemistry, ultimate and trace elements. The key to the use of these specifications is to understand the.

The acid dissolves rocks—a process called chemical weathering—and releases calcium, magnesium, potassium, or sodium ions. ... Coal and other fossil fuels are a convenient source of energy, but when they are burned, the stored carbon is released into the atmosphere. This alters the balance of the carbon cycle, and is changing Earth's climate.
NH 3 as reducing agent in selective noncatalytic reduction (SNCR) is widely used for the deNO x of coalfired boiler flue gas, where fly ash significantly influences the conversion of residual NH 3 that does not participate in deNO, few studies have been conducted on the exact nature of this influence. The adsorption and reaction of NH 3, NO, and O 2 on the fly ash at 50850 °C ...
1. Introduction. To protect the environment and meet stringent NO x emission limits, selective noncatalytic reduction (SNCR) is widely applied in coalfired power plants owing to its simplicity and low operation costs (Ma et al., 2016).In the deNO x process of SNCR, the reducing agents—mainly ammonia or urea—are injected into hot flue gas streams to selectively reduce NO into N 2 (Daood ...

Table 1 gives the characterization of HN coal, in which the proximate, ultimate analysis of the tested coal was conducted according to the Chinese standards GB/T, GB/T, GB/T, GB/T, GB/T and GB/T .
The coal formation process involves the burial of peat, which is made of partly decayed plant materials, deep underground. The heat and pressure of burial alters the texture and increases the carbon content of the peat, which transforms it into coal, a type of sedimentary rock. This process takes millions of years. Types, or "ranks," of coal are determined by carbon content. There are four ...
The AFT can be increased to >1350 °C by adding AFT increasing minerals or species, for example Al 2 O 3 or kaolinite, to the coal blend before it is fed into the gasification process. By increasing the AFT, the direct effect will be that steam consumption can be decreased, which in turn will improve carbon utilization.
