Besides the pyrolysis and alcoholysis, the conversion of low-lank coals under hydrothermal conditions (including sub-and supercritical water) for high-quality solid fuel, coal liquefied oil and gaseous fuels has also been widely investigated. In this review, the development of low-rank coal hydrothermal upgrading, the liquid fuel production ...
W.R. Jackson, ... F.P. Larkins, in 1991 International Conference on Coal Science Proceedings, 1991 INTRODUCTION. Low rank coals have been known to give high yields of liquid products when reacted with carbon monoxide in the presence of aqueous alkali since the pioneering work of Fischer and Schraeder [1].Other workers have shown that the process is applicable to a …
The effect of microbiological treatment of low-rank coal with an anaerobic microbial consortium on theirs characteristics and composition has been inwestigated. A large amount of pyrite sulfur is removed and coal ash is decreased with anaerobic conditions in closed flask. After biological treatment of these low-rank coals in a continuously operationg flow reactor without air …

As shown in Fig. 1, the O/C atomic ratio of low-rank coal is higher than that of high-rank coal because low-rank coal contains larger quantities of oxygen-containing functional groups, such as -COOH and =O. These functional groups react with oxygen at low temperature, and heat is also generated. Low-rank coal is therefore prone to occur

Abstract. Low-rank coal (LRC) drying processes are generally categorized by operating temperature, drying environment, and type of feed or product. Within these broad categories, drying processes differ further according to the type of drying equipment and methods of quenching and stabilizing dried products. This paper focuses on the issue of ...
Total non-freezing water values for the coals and HTD products were measured using both 1 H NMR and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Higher values for the non-freezing water contents were obtained from DSC measurements, possibly because the calculation assumes that the enthalpy of the non-freezing water is constant and equivalent to that of the bulk water.
LOW-RANK COAL 477 This rapid growth happened because several technological and regu latory developments changed the relative economics of low-rank coal use by the electric utility industry: 1. Very large pulverized coal-fired boilers, as well as extremely large strip mining machines, were adapted for low-rank coals. These allowed the
Clan Allardice History. Variations of the name include Allardyce and Allardes. The name originates from the old barony of Allardice in the parish of Arbuthnott, Kinkardineshire. The recipient of a charter of William the Lion of the lands of Alrethis took his name from the area. It is thought that it gained it's name from the Middle English ...

1. Introduction Low-rank coals such as lignite and sub-bituminous coal are abundant in China, and account for >40% of proven coal reserves. 1 With consumption of high-rank coal, low-rank coals are playing a more important part in energy supplies. "Coal fines" (CFs) refers to coal with a maximum particle size usually less than one-sixteenth inch and rarely above one-eighth inch.
from eastern high-rank coals to western low-rank coals from 2008 through to 2035 (EIA, 2010). Moreover, advances in surface mining, labour cost consideration, governmental support and many other factors also contribute to the growing importance of low quality coals. The term 'low quality coal' is used to refer to a coal that possesses one ...

Low-rank coals are those that have undergone minimal metamorphic variation in the process of coal formation. Compared with the high-rank coals—bituminous and anthracite, they retain more moisture and volatile and contain less fixed carbon [15]. The low-rank coals are often characterized by: High-moisture content (sometimes >50%)
Through the oxidation of coal at low temperatures and the resulting petrographic analysis, this study aims to predict spontaneous combustion, which has emerged as an industrial problem. Low-temperature oxidation analysis and the corresponding petrographic characteristics of four different coals treated under low temperatures of 25, 50, and 75 °C, which was set as …
By using proximate analysis, X-ray diffraction mineral analysis, scanning electron microscope, contact angle measurement, and settlement simulation experiment, the coal fines produced from the coalbed methane wells of Binchang area were used to study the characteristics including particle size distribution, composition, morphology, wettability, and settleability. The …
