Although the standard AFT analysis is currently used as prediction tool for AFT of coal, literature studies [1] have shown that this may not represent the actual flow temperature of certain minerals and mineral phases. For example iron (Fe) as Fe 2+ can react with other ash forming constituents leading to the formation of liquid phases at temperatures as low as 700 °C.
There exists a number of studies, demonstrating that the chemical and mineral composition of the coal ash governs its melting characteristics and fusion temperatures (Gray 1987; Kucukbayrak et al. 1993; Vorres 1979; Vassilev et al. 1995; Winegartner and Rhodes 1975).Since the composition of the ash influences the AFT magnitudes and, thereby, performance of a coalbased process, it is essential ...
The coal formation process involves the burial of peat, which is made of partly decayed plant materials, deep underground. The heat and pressure of burial alters the texture and increases the carbon content of the peat, which transforms it into coal, a type of sedimentary rock. This process takes millions of years. Types, or "ranks," of coal are determined by carbon content. There are four ...
Ash fusion temperature (AFT) is an important index for coal gasification. A blend of fluxing agent with coal can decrease the AFT to meet the requirements of specific gasification process. Effect of alkaline oxide and silica alumina ratio on decreasing AFT is focused in this study. Simulation ash was used to investigate the effect of alkaline oxide on AFT. The experimental results showed that ...
Materials. Huainan (HN) coal from Huainan coalmining area in China was selected in this work to be representative of AFT coals. Table 1 gives the characterization of HN coal, in which the proximate, ultimate analysis of the tested coal was conducted according to the Chinese standards GB/T, GB/T, GB/T, GB/T, GB/T and GB/T .
Sintering related temperatures. Sintering is an important process at the transition of ash to slag, which is predominantly initiated by the neck growth between ash particles and is shown in Fig. 12. Sintering of coal ash is a result of phases transformation in solid and liquid states.
1. Introduction. To protect the environment and meet stringent NO x emission limits, selective noncatalytic reduction (SNCR) is widely applied in coalfired power plants owing to its simplicity and low operation costs (Ma et al., 2016).In the deNO x process of SNCR, the reducing agents—mainly ammonia or urea—are injected into hot flue gas streams to selectively reduce NO into N 2 (Daood ...
Method Mechanically Activated Coal Gangue and Fineness Detection (1) Mechanically activated coal gangue Coal gangue will produce varying particle sizes depending on the machine grinding instruments used, resulting in diverse mineral crystals, giving the particles activity. Therefore, the machine grinding process of coal gangue is particularly vital, and the grinding steps in this ...
Coaldependent communities and the estimated 37,000 people working in coal power plants could benefit from the construction of advanced nuclear reactors. Benefits include the potential addition of more than 650 jobs, about 15% higher pay on average, and the ability for some of the existing workforce to transition without additional experience ...
In Group 1, the content of Fe 2 O 3 and CaO are consistent as well as the sum of SiO 2 and Al 2 O 3. The S/A changes in the range of which covers the range of typical Chinese coal ashes. In Group 2, the total content of SiO 2 and Al 2 O 3 decreased to 70% and the content of CaO increased to 23%, correspondingly.
Coal B belongs to anthracite with high degree of metamorphism, and the Al 2 O 3 content in ash plays a "skeleton" role in the melting process is the highest ( wt%); these two points may be the main factors of its AFT higher than coal D and coal S.
Coal Slags and Ash Fusion Temperatures The Ash Fusion Temperature, AFT, test became popular in the 1920's as a way to judge clinkering on the grate of a stoker fired boiler. It was not designed ...
Effect of MgO on AFTs of Coal Samples. MgO is a basic oxide in coal ash. 20 Generally, MgO could decrease AFT and improve flowability of ash samples. As shown in Figure Figure1 1, the AFTs of coal samples increase with increasing MgO content when its content in the original coal ash is above 10%.When the MgO content is 30%, the FT is 1550 °C. It demonstrates that MgO exhibits a negative ...

Blending is a promising method to modify the ashfusion characteristics of coal to meet gasification requirements. To investigate the variation in ashfusion behavior for high ashfusiontemperature (AFT) coal through coal blending and its regulating mechanism, the ashchemistry characteristics of four coals (Nantun, Pengzhuang, Biaodian, and Xiangyuan) were analyzed.

NH 3 as reducing agent in selective noncatalytic reduction (SNCR) is widely used for the deNO x of coalfired boiler flue gas, where fly ash significantly influences the conversion of residual NH 3 that does not participate in deNO, few studies have been conducted on the exact nature of this influence.
