IME-2019 Final Newsletter September Edition Issue : September 2019 Focus Country: U.S.A. ANIL KUMAR JHA President, MGMI & CMD, Coal India Ltd. MESSAGE It gives me immense pleasure that the biennial "8th International Mining, Equipment, Minerals and Metals Exhibition (IME 2019), concurrent with 8th Asian Mining Congress is being organised during November 6-9, 2019 at Kolkata. The Mining Sector of India is a significant contributor to the GDP growth of the Country. It is one of the core drivers of a nation's economy, as a part of almost all supply chains. The Mining Sector also provides employment opportunities to a significant section of the society. I hope that the deliberations in the Congress "Green Mining: The Way Forward" will address most of the issues and provide us with much needed pragmatic roadmap for the growth of mining and mineral based industry in the country. I am sure, the event will provide excellent platform for foreign organisations and their Indian counterparts, to exchange ideas, collaborate and technologically develop the Mining Sector.

    CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL STRUCTURAL STUDIES ON TWO INERTINITE-RICH LUMP COALS. Nandi Malumbazo A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philoso- phy in the School of Chemical and Metallurgical Engineering at the University of the Witwatersrand. Johannesburg, 2011 DECLARATION I, Nandi Malumbazo, declare that the thesis entitled: “CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL STRUCTURAL STUDIES ON TWO INER- TINITE-RICH LUMP COALS” is my own work and that all sources I have used or quoted have been indicated and ac- knowledged by means of references. Signature: ……………………………………………………………….. Date:………………………………………………………………………… Page i ABSTRACT ABSTRACT Two Highveld inertinite-rich lump coals were utilized as feed coal samples in order to study their physical, chemical structural and petrographic variations during heat treat- ment in a packed-bed reactor unit combustor. The two feed lump coals were selected as it is claimed that Coal B converts at a slower rate in a commercial coal conversion process when compared to Coal A. The reason for this requires detailed investigation. Chemical structural variations were determined by proximate and coal char CO2 reactiv- ity analysis. Physical structural variations were determined by FTIR, BET adsorption methods, XRD and 13C Solid state NMR analysis. Carbon particle type analysis was con- ducted to determine the petrographic constituents of the reactor generated samples, their maceral associations (microlithotype), and char morphology. This analysis was undertaken with the intention of tracking the carbon conversion and char formation and consumption behaviour of the two coal samples within the reactor. Proximate analysis revealed that Coal A released 10 % more of its volatile matter through the reactor compared to Coal B.

This section is not mandatory. Abstract: The Madzaringwe Formation in the Vele colliery is one of the coal-bearing Late Palaeozoic units of the Karoo Supergroup, consisting of shale with thin coal seams and sandstones. Maceral group analysis was conducted on seven representative coal samples collected from three existing boreholes—OV125149, OV125156, and OV125160—in the Vele colliery to determine the coal rank and other intrinsic characteristics of the coal. The petrographic characterization revealed that vitrinite is the dominant maceral group in the coals, representing up to 81–92 vol.% (mmf) of the total sample. Collotellinite is the dominant vitrinite maceral, with a total count varying between 52.4 vol.% (mmf) and 74.9 vol.% (mmf), followed by corpogelinite, collodetrinite, tellinite, and pseudovitrinite with a Citation: Denge, E.; Baiyegunhi, C. count ranging between 0.8 and 19.4 vol.% (mmf), 1.5 and 17.5 vol.% (mmf), 0.8 and 6.5 vol.% (mmf) Maceral Types and Quality of Coal in the Tuli Coalfield: A Case Study of and 0.3 and 5.9 vol.% (mmf), respectively.

The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada Date kprfl 1 L A 1 DE-6 (2/88) Pg ii ABSTRACT Over the past decade, most Western Canadian coal mines have been forced to mine deposits containing multiple seams of coal, with varying coal qualities. This change in mining practice has caused considerable challenges for coal washery personnel. Blending or homogenization of these multiple seams has been the standard approach in attempting to minimize the disruption to washery operations. The purpose of this research was to develop a method of quantifying the effects of a controlled blending program on preparation plant yield, thus providing a way to optimize the blending program within the constraints of the mining program, the processing unit operations, and the final product quality constraints.

  • Petrographic Characteristics of Coal Gasification and Combustion By
    energies Article Petrographic Characteristics of Coal Gasification and Combustion by-Products from High Volatile Bituminous Coal Barbara Bielowicz Faculty of Geology, Geophysics and Environment Protection, AGH University of Science and Technology, Al. Mickiewicza 30, 30-059 Kraków, Poland; [email protected] Received: 8 July 2020; Accepted: 23 August 2020; Published: 25 August 2020 Abstract: The coal was gasified in a fluidized bed reactor with CO2 as a gasifying agent at 889–980 ◦C. The coal and gasification residue produced during gasification was burned at temperatures up to 900 ◦C. The petrographic analysis, gasification residues, and fly and bottom ash resulting from the combustion of coal and chars showed the efficiency of the gasification and combustion processes. The gasification residue primarily comprised inertoids and crassinetwork, which accounted for 60% of the sample. The analysis of the petrographic composition of fly ash revealed that the fly ash formed during the combustion of gasification residue had a higher mineral content. The fly ash from the combustion of gasification products contained significantly less unburned coal compared to that from coal. The samples of the bottom ash from coal combustion were composed of approximately 25% organic matter, most of which was chars. The bottom ash formed from the combustion of coal gasification products was composed mainly of mineral matter (95% or higher). The obtained results have significant implications in determining future waste management strategies. Keywords: coal; gasification; char; bottom ash; fly ash 1. Introduction Coal gasification, which refers to the transformation of coal into gas, is being increasingly used because of its environmentally friendly nature.

  • Coalification and Coal Alteration Under Mild Thermal Conditions
    Int J Coal Sci Technol (2018) 5(3):358–373 https://doi.org/10.1007/s40789-018-0220-7 Coalification and coal alteration under mild thermal conditions 1 1 Pavel Straka • Ivana Sy´korova´ Received: 2 May 2018 / Revised: 13 July 2018 / Accepted: 30 August 2018 / Published online: 12 September 2018 Ó The Author(s) 2018 Abstract Coalification temperatures are often considered to be approximately 100–170 °C for bituminous coal and 170–275 °C for anthracite. However, our micropetrographic observations, solid state 27Al magic-angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance measurements, interpretation of d13C values for whewellite in pelosiderite concretions from Car- boniferous sediments, and assessment of whewellite thermal stability show that coalification temperatures can be signif- icantly lower. Also the temperatures of coal alteration may be substantially lower than is stated. Ordinarily, high- temperature alteration is reported, but microthermometric measurements of fluids temperatures and micropetrographic observations show that the coal alteration can take place at low temperatures. For this reason, coals from the Kladno– Rakovnı´k Basin, part of Late Paleozoic continental basins of the Czech Republic, were analyzed. Regarding coalification, micropetrographic characterizations of unaltered coals, the presence of thermally unstable Al complexes in the coal organic mass documented using 27Al MAS NMR method, and proven occurrence of whewellite in pelosiderite concretions suggest a lower coalification temperature, max. ~ 70 °C. Regarding coal alteration, micropetrographic observations revealed (a) the weaker intensity of fluorescence of liptinite, (b) mylonitic structures and microbreccia with carbonate fluid penetration, and (c) high oxygen content in coals (37–38 wt.%). These phenomena are typical for thermal and oxidative alteration of coal.

    Coal - Wikipedia Page 1 of 26 Coal From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Coal is a combustible black or brownish-black sedimentary rock usually occurring in rock strata in layers or veins called coal beds Coal or coal seams. The harder forms, such as anthracite coal, can be Sedimentary rock regarded as metamorphic rock because of later exposure to elevated temperature and pressure. Coal is composed primarily of carbon, along with variable quantities of other elements, chiefly hydrogen, sulfur, oxygen, and nitrogen.[1] A fossil fuel, coal forms when dead plant matter is converted into peat, which in turn is converted into lignite, then sub-bituminous coal, after that bituminous coal, and lastly anthracite. This involves biological and geological processes that take place over time. Throughout history, coal has been used as an energy resource, primarily burned for the production of electricity and heat, and is also used for industrial purposes, such as refining metals. Coal is the largest source of energy for the generation of electricity worldwide, as well as one of the largest worldwide anthropogenic Anthracite coal sources of carbon dioxide releases. The extraction of coal, its use Composition in energy production and its byproducts are all associated with Primary carbon environmental and health effects including climate change.[2] Secondary hydrogen Coal is extracted from the ground by coal mining.
