  • Update on Lignite Firing
    Update on lignite firing Qian Zhu CCC/201 ISBN 978-92-9029-521-1 June 2012 copyright © IEA Clean Coal Centre Abstract Low rank coals have gained increasing importance in recent years and the long-term future of coal -derived energy supplies will have to include the greater use of low rank coal. However, the relatively low economic value due to the high moisture content and low calorific value, and other undesirable properties of lignite coals limited their use mainly to power generation at, or, close to, the mining site. Another important issue regarding the use of lignite is its environmental impact. A range of advanced combustion technologies has been developed to improve the efficiency of lignite-fired power generation. With modern technologies it is now possible to produce electricity economically from lignite while addressing environmental concerns. This report reviews the advanced technologies used in modern lignite-fired power plants with a focus on pulverised lignite combustion technologies. CFBC combustion processes are also reviewed in brief and they are compared with pulverised lignite combustion technologies.

Cumberland Plateau. Geologically, this area is referred to as Although the extensive use of fire by the American Indians the Pottsville Escarpment. Erosion within this belt has has been recognized from the earliest European observers, created deep narrow stream valleys flanked by steep-sided it is somewhat difficult to determine the impact prehistoric to precipitous valley walls. Little level land is available along fires had on forest structure. By examining the fossil and the stream margins but the ridges, ringed by high sandstone charcoal record from Cliff Palace Pond with the cliffs are fairly wide and flat. Nearly 5000 kilometers of archaeological record recovered from nearby prehistoric cliffline snake through the Daniel Boone National Forest, and sites, a 9,500-year record of the vegetational development often stretch for miles without a break. These natural can be established for the escarpment zone of Eastern features led Miller, in his Geology of Kentucky (1919) to refer Kentucky. This record indicates that anthropogenic fires to the escarpment zone as a “Chinese Wall” that greatly played a central role in shaping the forest structure, inhibited economic development of the area. especially after the transition from a hunting and gathering economy to one based on swidden agricultural practices.

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.

Smalley SUMMARY This paper presents a comprehensive forest site classification system for the northern Cumberland Plateau in north central Tennessee and eastern Ken­ tucky. The system is based on physiography, geology, soils, topography, and vegetation. Twenty-four landtypes are described and evaluated in terms of productivity and desirability of selected pines and hardwoods for timber pro­ duction. Also, each landtype is rated for five soil-related problems that can affect forest management operations.

  • Techno-Economic Feasibility Study – Public Release Document
    Monday, 8 August 2016 Shareholder Update – India Activity Techno-Economic Feasibility Study – Public Release Document Dear Shareholders, We are pleased to provide to you the public release of the Techno-Economic Feasibility (TEF) study conducted on the proposed Coldry-Matmor Integrated Steel Plant. ECT would like to formally acknowledge and thank our project partners, NLC and NMDC, together with TEF Study Working Group members Dastur and Thermax. The TEF Study report contains detailed information regarding assessment of our technologies operating together, projected forwards to commercial scale. The intent of the report is to demonstrate not only the technical feasibility of our technologies, but also the comparative economic performance versus incumbent technology options. In demonstrating that strong relative performance, we underpin the business case to invest in the development stages ahead. The report in its original form contains significant volumes of information of a confidential nature, the release of which could contravene our confidentiality obligations with our partners and may impact on our ability to deliver value from the commercialisation of our technologies. The report was also a time based document, which contained information current as of the issue date. Our discussions have continued with our partners since that time, and this report does not capture changes in status associated with those discussions now underway. ECT is very encouraged by the results of the study, and by the response to the report received from our partners, NLC and NMDC and look forward to working though the development of project structuring and agreements and continuation of the detailed design program. Sincerely, Ashley Moore Managing Director For further information, contact: Ashley Moore – Managing Director [email protected] About ECT ECT is in the business of commercialising leading-edge coal and iron making technologies, which are capable of delivering financial and environmental benefits.
