Injecting water into a coal seam to enhance the cohesive strength of coal and thus minimize and reduce the coal wall spalling risk must be considered in underground coal mining systems. In general, coal with low cohesive strength contains clay minerals which may affect the stability of coal by interacting with water. Therefore, the coupled effects of moisture content and inherent clay minerals ...

due to the abundance of the non-coking coal and limitations as well as the high costs of the natural gas, the presentstudy examined the direct reduction of hematite (iron oxide) ore in the temperature range of 800-1000 °c by thenon-coking coal volatiles. approximately, 74.9% of the total amounts of volatiles and gases exit the coal up to800°c. the onset temperature to exit volatiles from the no...

Coal Tar is a semisolid byproduct obtained in the destructive distillation of bituminous coal which functions in cosmetic products as a cosmetic biocide and denaturant — antidandruff agent is also listed as a function, but this is considered an over-the-counter (OTC) drug use. Coal Tar is a nearly black, viscous liquid, heavier than water, with a naphthalene-like odor and a sharp burning taste,...

MAGNITUDE OF COAL PRODUCTION Coal accounts for approximately 74 percent of China’s primary energy consumption. China consumes more coal than Europe, Japan and the United States combined, which make up 40 percent of the world’s total. [1] China’s coal use continues to grow every year, and it is estimated that 90 percent of the rise in world coal consumption is from China. [2] Despite investments...

Power plant boiler had no arrangement of measure the coal pipe temperature in a continuous basis, though it is an important parameter for any coal fired large boiler. As pulverized coal flows through the long coal-pipe by the help of flow of hot air as a carrier, coal pipe temperature is only the measurement of the coal flow through the pipe to boiler. Low temperature indicates improper flow of...

In the coal mining process, the destabilization of loaded coal mass is a prerequisite for coal and rock dynamic disaster, and surface cracks of the coal and rock mass are important indicators, reflecting the current state of the coal body. The detection of surface cracks in the coal body plays an important role in coal mine safety monitoring. In this paper, a method for detecting the surface cr...

Coal is most important fossil fuel in world. Energy requirement of world is increasing in many fields day by day. The crude oil and coal are the main backbone of energy. Since the reserves of crude oil are decreasing day by day as a result the coal becomes the main sources of fossil fuel. Ash content of Indian coal is very high ranging from 15% to 55% [1]. Ash is an inorganic compound present i...

OBJECTIVE To determine the impact of coal mining, measured as the number of coal mining-related facilities nearby one's residence or employment in an occupation directly related to coal mining, on self-rated health in Appalachia. METHODS Unadjusted and adjusted ordinal logistic regression models calculated odds ratio estimates and associated 95% confidence intervals for the probability of hav...

Coal is a porous medium with complex pore structures. The characteristics of the pore structure play an important role in various aspects of coal use, including extraction of methane from coal seams, CO2 sequestration in coal, and water purification by activated carbon. To describe comprehensively the pore structure of coal, we apply transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and synchrotron small-...
