Coal is an organic rock with dual pore structure, and its thermal fracture mode is significantly different from that of sandstone, granite and other sedimentary rocks under heat treatment [1], [35], [36]. In the process of heat treatment, the free water in coal evaporates, which reduces the propagation speed of Pwave and Swave.
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 ...

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 ...
Chemical properties of coal. Coal comes in four main types or ranks: lignite or brown coal, bituminous coal or black coal, anthracite and type of coal has a certain set of physical parameters which are mostly controlled by moisture, volatile content (in terms of aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbons) and carbon content.. Moisture. Moisture is an important property of coal, as all ...
Coalification is the process by which peat is transformed into coal. The process of transforming vegetable matter into coal usually occurs in two main steps: the biochemical and the physicochemical stage of coalification ... Also significant for the use of coal is its Ash Fusion Temperature (AFT). The degree of fusion of ash is important in ...
Mining coal. Coal miners use large machines to remove coal from the earth. Many coal deposits, called coal beds or seams, are near the earth's surface, but others are deep mining methods allow coal miners to easily reach most of the nation's coal reserves and to produce about three times more coal in one hour than in 1978.
Gasification of coal is a process whereby coal is converted to a syngas, which is predominately a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen. ... The AFT is a common analysis performed on a coal sample as part of its routine characterization and can be a useful indicator of the general suitability of a specific coal for entrainedflow gasification ...
Song et al. reported that the AFT decreases with increasing CaO up to the concentration of 30%, above which increasing the CaO leads to an increase in the AFT. The result was attributed to the subliquidus phase transformation from anorthite to the gehlenite phase, increasing CaO by over 30%. ... The pyrolysis process of coal/biomass generally ...
Coal ash fusion temperature (AFT) is one important parameter for coalfired boiler design and evaluation in a power plant. The relationship between coal AFT and the chemical composition of coal ash is rather complex in nature and makes the modeling of AFT difficult. In this work, a leastsquares support vector machine (LSSVM) model, which was based on a dynamically optimized search technique ...
appetites for investments in new coal plants, and some have announced intentions to fully divest from coal assets within a few years (Polkinghorne 2017). The declining costs of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) could affect Indonesia's domestic energy mix and thus domestic coal demand, as it could replace coalfired electricity generation.
The AFT calculation in the ammonia cofiring cases shared the same calculation method as above, depicted in Fig. S1 (b). The results showed that the AFT of the furnace in the base case was 2214 K. The coal feed rate, NH 3 feed rate, air feed rate, AFT, and EAC of different NH 3 cofiring ratio conditions under different scenarios are listed in ...
The differences between K and M coal are also found in AFT under reducing conditions and ash analysis. AFT under reducing conditions of M coal is very low with deformation temperature (DT), softening temperature (ST), hemispherical temperature (HT), and fluid temperature (FT) of 1090, 1090, 1120, and 1140 °C, respectively.
During the process, the initial deformation temperature (IDT), hemispherical temperature (HT), and final fusion temperature (FT) were recorded according to the specific shapes of the ash cylinder. The ash fusion temperature (AFT) of the individual coal samples was determined and reported in table 2.
Fig. 1 shows the neutralizing capacity of coals and coalashes. All twelve lignites (Samples 112, Table 1) required l 1 M H 2 SO 4 per kg coal, to establish a stable pH at liquid to solid ratio 10:1. The only asphaltite, Sample 13, used l/kg, mainly due to the high 'ash' percentage. We use a selected range of particle sizes, μm.
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.
Effect of coal nature on the gasification process. Mustafa Ozer, ... Badie Morsi, in Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) Technologies, 2017. Ash fusion temperature (melting temperature). AFT is an indicator of the ash melting behavior in the gasification process (Li, 2010).For the gasification of lowrank coals, such as lignite and brown coal, in fixed and fluidized beds ...
Since the early 1900s, the ash fusibility test (AFT) has been used to predict deposition behaviour of coal ash in large coalfired boilers. The modest beginnings of the test required an operator to watch a pelletised ash sample through a viewing port and identify four temperatures, which correspond to four characteristic points or ...
The Shell coal gasification process (SCGP) can operate on a wide variety of feedstocks. It consists of three principal stages: 1. Gasification (partial oxidation), in which the feedstock is converted to syngas in the presence of oxygen and a moderating agent (steam) in a refractorylined gasification reactor. 2.
The processrelevant property of ash fusion can be studied for example by classic ash fusion tests ... CoalB has a lower AFT value than CoalA due to higher Fe 2 O 3 content in ash, while BMC is ...
To establish a simple method predicting ash fusion temperature (AFT) using FactSage calculation, the deformation temperature (DT) or flow temperature (FT) of coal ashes were measured by AFT analyzer and ash compositions were measured by Xray fluorescence spectrometry. The method to predict the DT and FT was proposed based on the liquidphase content and its variation trend with increasing ...

The AFT of coal after leaching increased to >1600 ... This is indeed what happened with the coal within the gasification process when Fecontaining minerals are transformed. This implies that the threecomponent system Al 2 O 3 FeO x SiO 2 is not one of the critical phase formations affecting ash fusion temperature in the blend. However ...
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.
