PYROLYSIS OF BROWN COAL USING A CATALYST BASED ON W–Ni

Estimation of coal swelling index based on chemical properties of coal using artificial neural networks

Free swelling index (FSI) is an important parameter for cokeability and combustion of coals. In this research, the effects of chemical properties of coals on the coal free swelling index were studied by artificial neural network methods. The artificial neural networks (ANNs) method was used for 200 datasets to estimate the free swelling index value. In this investigation, ten input parameters ...

Progress in Coal Pyrolysis Research

The factors considered are summarized in Table 1. The problem of answering the questions is that multiple chemical reactions occur whose results depend on how the reactants are bound in the coal macromolecular network. Species-selective transport of the reactants and products further complicate the interpretations. In what follows, we have tried to focus on topics where answers are needed or wh...

Catalytic Pyrolysis of General Purpose PolyStyrene Using Red Mud as a Catalyst

Characterization of the Products Obtained in Coal Pyrolysis: A Case study of Some Pakistani Coals

Thermal decomposition of two coal samples obtained from Top Seam Sibi (TSS) and Sore Range Quetta (SRQ) coal fields in their raw and acid washed forms were carried out in an open type tubular pyrolyzer coupled to a gas chromatograph with FID. Elemental analyses were carried out with Scanning Electron Microscope-Energy Dispersive X-rays (SEM-EDX) analyzer. Effect of inherent mineral contents...

Retention of cobalt on a humin derived from brown coal.

In this work, the retention of cobalt on a humin (HU) derived from a brown coal is studied. Through a systematic and coordinated investigation of the behavior of the metal ions in solution (speciation diagrams as a function of pH) and their adsorption and precipitation processes with reactive functional groups of the solid (sorption isotherms), the interactions of different Co(II) species with ...
