96iO1234 Power from coal -Where to remove Impuritlee? Couch, G. R. IwLCRl82, IEA Coal Research, Gemini House, 10-18 Putney Hill, London SW15 6AA, f450.00 (non-member countries) fl5O.o.W (member countries, Aug.1 995. The report wnsiders both the wnstrahts and tbe opportunities wbicb apply to the removal of impurities from coal, at all stages of tbe coal-to-eiectricity chain. Tbe commercial and regulatory backgmund varies considerably from country to country.
%I01 225 Invoetl ation of the aeeoclated etructure of Upper Freeport coal by eoR ent l weillng Takanobasbi, T. d a& Energy Fuels, 1995, 9, (5). 788-793. Upper Freeport Argonne sample) coal was extracted with C&-N-methyl1-pyrrolidinone CS,-NMP) mtxed solvent at room temperature. lbe swclling bebaviours i or the raw coal, heavy extract fractions, and extraction residue were investigated in several organic solvents. It was found that tbe swelling ratio of the raw coal was lower than those of the extract fractions and residue, independent of the kind of solvents used.
961012% Reactlve-Inert interface8 In meteliurglcal cokes: Effect of added inert8 Barriocanal, C. et al., Fuel, Jan. 1996, 75, (2), 243-245. The quality of interfaces between reactive and inert textural components in cokes produced from tbree single coals with added petroieum~wke and calcined anthracite were quanttfied by microscopy and expressed as an interface uality index, 101. For interfaces involving the three inert wmpo nents stu1ted, tbe IQ1 decreased in the order: inherent inerts > petroleum wke a calcined anthracite. Tbe IQ1 of interfaces involving inherent inerts that the decreased in the presence of added inerts in the wke, imply’ ability of a coal to bind inerts into the coke structure was share 7 between the two types of inerts.
%I01 226 Irrever8lble drylng of cerbonaceoue fueis such as low-rank coals Coleman, R. D. et ail, CAN. Pat. CA.2,136,662, May 1995. The process describes bow low-quality solid carbonaceous fuels such as lignite and subbituminous coal are dried in a mildly reducing atmosphere at 150-300”, preferably 2OO-210”. to reduce the moisture content substantially to xero, and to minimize re-adsorption of moisture during storage and transportation.

96101227 Llberation characterletlce of a coal mlddiinge Oliver, E. T. et aL, Coal Preparation, 1995, 16, 3), 167-178. The recovery and quality of product coal is closeI y associated with the distriiution of mineral matter wihin the feed coal and its subsequent liberation. One area where the benefits of liberation could be real&d is in the treatment of coal middlings fractions where relatively high ash contents are not uncommon. Tbe work outlined in this oaoer I concerned with the breakage characteristics of middlings, their i&ration properties and the potential for retreatment. The material used was a ‘typical’ middlings from a dense medium separator and breakage was achieved by swing hammer crushing. 16 tests were conducted covering a range of operating conditions. %I01 226 Method for claeeiflcation - drylng and preheetlng control of coal (Assigned to) Shinnippon Seitetsu KK JAP.

J. and Corriveau, M. P. Intertect Publishin , Mining Information Services, PO Box 6500, Chicago, IL.60680, USA, $84.50 (US & Can) $109.50 (all others). This book, is intended to be a layman’s guide to many aspects of coal sampling and quality control. It is tbe first book published on sampling since 1985 and considerable effort has been made to update rcvious works to reflect the latest efforts of standards organizations. The &trst half of the book is geared toward reviewing sampling theory and tbe development of sampling model referred to in the book as the Corriveau Model. The setond half of the book is orientated toward the application of tbe sampling model in the areas oE sampling programme design, on-line coal quality measurements, mechanical sampling systems, preparation plant sampling programmes, quality control and assurance.,
