Beneficiation of sugarcane bagasse for production of GreenCoal
(North-West University (South Africa), 2020)The sugarcane mills in South Africa are to some extent self-sustaining by using sugarcane bagasse and coal to generate heat and power; however, due to the inferior physicochemical properties of sugarcane bagasse, there is ... -
The characterisation of slow-heated inertinite- and vitrinite-rich coals from the South African coalfields
(Elsevier, 2015)The development of coal char structures with pyrolysis has been extensively investigated but has traditionally been focused on the carboniferous coals in the northern Hemisphere. In this investigation, the properties of ... -
The effect of microalgae as a binder on the characteristics of agglomerated coal fines
(North-West University (South Africa), 2021)The global coal demand is increasing at an alarming rate, while reserves are depleting. This creates the need for more coal to be produced or to introduce an alternative approach that is more sustainable. The processing ... -
Pyrolysis and gasification of coal residues derived from tetralin liquefaction of South African density separated coal
(North-West University (South Africa), 2020)The South African coal mining industry produced approximately 307 million tons of low-rank bituminous coal in 2007. The local thermo-chemical processes utilise this coal for oils, petrochemicals and steam generation. South ... -
Structural analysis of chars generated from South African inertinite coals in a pipe-reactor combustion unit
(Elsevier Science, 2011)An inertinite-rich medium rank C bituminous South African coal was utilized to generate chars in a pipe-reactor combustion unit. This unit generates chars at atmospheric pressures and temperature was controlled with N2 to ... -
Synthesis and properties of ZnS nanoparticles by solvothermal and pyrolysis routes using the Zn dithiocarbamate complex as novel single source precursor
(Taylor & Francis, 2016)In this work, the synthesis and characterization of ZnS nanoparticles prepared via two approaches, involving the thermal decomposition of the precursor complex in a furnace (pyrolysis) and by solvothermal process in the ...
