High-ash Indian coals are primarily used as thermal coal in power plants and industries. Due to the presence of sulfur in thermal coal, flue gas is a major environmental concern. Conventional methods (Ultimate Analysis of Coal) for sulfur content estimation are time-consuming, relatively costly, and destructive. In this study, Fourier-transform …
Ash in Guiding subbituminous coal (GSBC) was removed by treatment with dilute acids. The treated GSBC (TGSBC) was extracted with isopropanol (IP) to afford IP-extractable fraction (IPEF). TGSBC was sequentially extracted with petroleum ether, carbon disulfide, acetone, and methanol. Octane-1-thiol and thiophene were selected as model …

Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to determine the effects of the variables on sulphur and ash reduction from the coal. The maximum sulphur removal (50.3% total sulphur) was obtained at the initial pH of 1, the ferrous sulphate addition of 0.02 M and Norris nutrient medium. Total sulphur and ash content values were …
Sulfite removal from high-sulfur coal fly ash is rapid and selective in acidic pH. ... As such, we propose a combined process of sulfur removal and carbon dioxide capture illustrated in Fig. 4. This process is a two-stage absorption-washing process, where the first stage involves the absorption of carbon dioxide from flue gas into FGD …
The full utilization of coal is limited by the presence of high levels of sulfur and ash in it. Therefore, removal of mineral matter and sulfur from coal prior to its utilization is necessary [2]. Many researchers have tried to find an economically practical process for removing sulfur from coal, but no such process has been developed yet [3].
The combined effect of desulfurization and ash removal in the process of coal desulfurization by microwave with peroxyacetic acid was determined by evaluating variations in minerals and sulfur forms using X-ray diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Dielectric properties of minerals or organic sulfur functional groups in coal …
Under optimum conditions, a clean coal was obtained having 8.10% ash, 1.56% total sulfur, with a combustible recovery of almost 50% from coal, with 12.70% ash and 2.82% total sulfur. Keywords: clean coal ash, sulfur, magnetic separation, Jones magnetic separator Introduction High-intensity wet magnetic separation (HIWMS) is a …
Abstract. Molten caustic leaching process is effective in reducing significant amount of ash derived from minerals, pyritic sulfur, and organic sulfur from coal. The. effect of …
Research highlights Coal will continue to be a major fuel source for the foreseeable future, but its use is limited by ash and sulfur impurities. Cost-effective, high-throughput removal of ash and sulfur remain critical challenges in coal processing. This study explores aqueous and solvent-based ultrasonic techniques for deashing and …
The large size of installations introduces other operating and environmental uncertainties. For instance, the largest Stretford sulphur removal process to be built in the USA (105 ton day –1) has been contracted for the Great Plains gasification process (Stantberg, 1982).However, the Stretford process will not remove COS, and the …
3.. Results and discussionThe desulfurization experiments were carried out at 400–650 °C using the simulated coal gas which contains 0.47 vol% H 2 S. In blank experiments during which the simulated coal gas passed through the hot U-shape quartz reactor without a sorbent bed, about 500 ppm COS was detected in the outlet gas …
demineralization and desulfurization increased with the increase in alkali/coal ratio. The removal of total sulfur and ash increases with increasing leaching temperature and time. As a result of MCL, ash content of Hazro coal was reduced from 18.31 to 6.77 %, and 70% of combustible was recovered. Total
The fat coal was characterized as high sulfur and high ash coal with a total sulfur content of 5.066% and an ash content of 29.380%. The maximum total sulfur removal of 45.8% was achieved after 36-day bioleaching of fat coal with exotic microorganisms (Exotic-36). And the indigenous microorganisms realized a total sulfur …
The aim of this study is to characterize potential utilization pathways of high-sulfur fly ash from coal combustion plants for the purpose of fixing CO 2 and producing high purity carbonates via carbon mineralization process. Unlike other typical fly ashes, the feedstock in this study contains a mixture of fly ashes and desulfurization residues.
Two raw coals and their washery products were collected from two coal-washing plants of Ningwu coal field, Shanxi, China. The migration behaviors of sulfur (S) and arsenic (As) during coal washing process were investigated by the microwave digestion method together with hydride generation-atomic fluorescence spectrometry.
11.10.1 Process Description1-2,9. Coal cleaning is a process by which impurities such as sulfur, ash, and rock are removed from coal to upgrade its value. Coal cleaning processes are categorized as either physical cleaning or chemical cleaning. Physical coal cleaning processes, the mechanical separation of coal from its contaminants using ...
In this study, the capacity of the process was increased to treat 8000 t/day of pulverized coal and reduced total sulfur content from 4 to 2%, while pyritic sulfur removal was nearly 90%. The main disadvantages of lagoon-type reactors are the vast area required and heat losses from the reactor, particularly during organic sulfur …
Transport reactor gasifier of KBR is a recent development, which is mid-way between fluidized and entrained bed gasifier. It can simultaneously remove sulfur and may be the better option for gasification of Indian coals. Fluidized bed gasifier may also be considered for the gasification of Indian coal containing high ash and low sulfur.
