This paper reports a modelling work on the existing experimental data of single coal particles combustion process [1,2]. Two kinds of coal particles (a high-volatile bituminous coal / a lignite coal) are injected in a drop-tube furnace, ignited and burned in quiescent O2/N2 and O2/CO2 atmospheres with oxygen mole fraction varying from 20% to 100%. Ignition delay time, particle life time and par...

A coal chemical looping combustion (CLC) power plant (600 MW) with CO 2 capture was established and validated. The key operation parameters conditions for the process were tested optimized. Heat exchange network (HEN) optimized using combined pinch exergy analysis method matching integrating different levels or grade energy, from flue gas exhaust steam waste heat, in to maximize energy efficien...

The increasing environmental concern caused by the use of fossil fuels and the concomitant need for improved combustion efficiency is leading to the development of new coal cleaning and utilisation processes. However, the benefits achieved by the removal of most mineral matter from coal either by physical or chemical methods can be annulled if poor coal combustibility characteristics are attain...

A novel chemical looping approach for propan-1-ol production from propylene.

Chemical looping reforming (CLR) is an emerging hydrogen/syngas production technology, integrated with CO 2 capture.

Spontaneous combustion of subsurface coal is an extremely complicated chemical and physical changing process. In order to quantitatively understand the development of underground coal fires, the heat transfer processes coupled with multi-stage oxidation of coal are investigated by experimental and numerical methods in this paper. With controlled temperature and under lean oxygen conditions, the...

one of the most important methods to produce sponge iron is coal based reduction of iron ore. direct reduction methods based on coal are being improved due to the abundance of coal sources and its lower cost in comparison with natural gas. volatile materials in coal play an important role in the reduction of iron oxides. in this study, noncoking coal with high volatile materials from iran and c...

The transformation of the straight embryonic heart tube into a helically wound loop is named cardiac looping. Such looping is regarded as an essential process in cardiac morphogenesis since it brings the building blocks of the developing heart into an approximation of their definitive topographical relationships. During the past two decades, a large number of genes have been identified which pl...
