Reactivity study of fine discard coal agglomerates
(Elsevier, 2015)
In this laboratory study thermo-gravimetric analyses were conducted to determine the influence of the addition of an alkaline metal catalyst (K2CO3 incorporated into a fine discard coal agglomerate mixture by physical ...
Preparation of biochars for co-gasification from sweet sorghum bagasse
(ETA-Florence Renewable Energies, 2015)
Biochar is a solid product obtained through torrefaction, liquefaction or pyrolysis of organic material. It can be used for soil amendment, activated carbon for sequestration, or as bio-coal for gasification or co-gasification. ...
The effect of added minerals on the pyrolysis products derived from a vitrinite-rich demineralised South African coal
(Elsevier, 2016)
A better understanding of the behaviour of the inorganic matter present in coal will assist in more cost-effective operations and more consistency in product yield and composition during thermal processing. In this study, ...
Coal particle and bed physical transformational behaviour after thermochemical conversion in a fixed bed
(Elsevier, 2016)
This paper examines the physical transformational behaviour that coal particles and the bed structure undergo in a fixed bed reactor. The transient overfeed configuration is used with feed gas entering from the bottom of ...
Coal particle chemical transformational behaviour after thermochemical conversion in a fixed bed
(Elsevier, 2016)
This paper examines the chemical transformational behaviour that coal particles undergo during conversion in deep packed beds, typically found in industrial combustion and gasification operations. Experiments were performed ...
Coal-derived low smoke fuel assessment through coal stove combustion testing
(Elsevier, 2017)
A study was undertaken to investigate the production of low smoke fuel from coal currently used in low-income households in South Africa. Pyrolysis of large coal lumps was studied as a possible production method, and an ...
