96103575 Reducing fly ash deposition by pretreatment of brown coal: Effect of aluminum on ash character Vuthaluru, H. B. er al., Fuel Process Technol., 1996, 46, (2) 117-132. The effect of pretreatment on the structure and the related fouling/slagging behaviour of fly ash from brown coal has been investigated. Condensable sodium salts and low-melting sodium silicates are known as fouling and slagging materials. Experimental proof is given that less of such components were formed after treatment of Loy Yang brown coal with water and particularly. with Al compounds. 96103576 Reducing fly ash deposition from a brown coal by solid additives Vuthaluru, H. B. et al., Coal Sci. Techno/., 1995, 24, (1) 675-678. Presents a study of prevention of sodium based fouling and slagging by using solid additives. The reactions of sodium with kaolin, silica, and alumina were investigated. The results were compared with those seen for combustion of coal after wet pm-treatment with aluminium compounds. 96103577 Relations between functionality and macromoiecuiar properties of aiterated coals: The behavrour in soiubiiity and swelling Kuznetsov, P.

(In Kussian) Keports that in coal flocculation with commercial latexes, coal-latex adhe\ton increases as the butadiene content of the latex increases. Coal-latex agglomerates are the strongest for medium rank coals. Study of the sulfur functionaiities and physical 96103561 characteristics of a Bulgarian lignite by desulfurization techniques Maes. I. I. er u[., Coul Sri. Teclrnol., 1995. 24, (2) 1677-1680. A complete knowledge and understanding of the thermal reactivity of sulphur’ forms in coal is crucial for the development of new, efficient deaulphurization techniques. The paper reports on seven selective desulphurization treatments of a Bulgarian lignite. 96103502
Supercritical desulfurization of high rank coal with alcohol/water and alcohol/KOH 1.i. W. and Guo, S. Fuel Process. Technol., 1996, 46, (2). 143.155. A high rank coal with total sulphur of 4 90% w’as extracted employing alcohol/KOH and alcohol/water under supercritical conditions both tn a semi-continuous reactor and in a batch reactor. In the semi-continuous reactor it was found that supercritical desulphurization is mainly taking place within about one hour at 400°C. Pretreatment of coal with KOH up 10 5$ concentration was lavourable for sulphur removal. but greater KOH concentratton and longer soaktng ttme brought about the oppost~e ~e\ult\

Ilolysz, L. Fuel, May 1996, 75, (6) 737-742. Measurements were made of zeta potential of low-rank coals, the surface of which was previously covered with apolar liquid to different degrees. The zeta potentials with then used for determination of the film pressure of this liquid, making it possible to calculate the apolar Lifshitz-van der Waais component of the coal surface free energy. Electron donor and electron acceptor polar components were determined by measurement of water and glycerol contact angles on coal plates.

Coal dissolution in co-liquefaction (coprocessing) of Point of Ayr (British) coal with Forties petroleum atmosphere residue and decant oils was enhanced by the presence of a donor solvent and the addition of a sulphided catalyst-activated coal as a disposable catalyst. This solvent augmentation does not detrimentally affect coal dissolution in the process,,PI;%IP,irrrllr,C ’

Detection of weathering in stockpiled coals by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy Ibarra. J. V. and Miranda, J I.. Vih. Specrrosr., 1996, 10, (2), 311-318. The process of natural oxidation of two low-rank coals exposed to the atmosphere for I1 months has been studied by FTIR spectroscopy. The study, was carried out on samples taken at different time intervals and addtttonal from zones where signs of high oxidation and self-ignition were detected.

Retardation of the spontaneous ignition of bituminous coal Dong, X. and Drysdale. D. Coal SC/. 7ecltnol.. 1995, 24, (1) 501-504. Driven by the need to identify the effective inhibitor to retard the selfheating and soontaneous ignition of coal, the effect of five retardants on a bitummous coal has been experimentally investigated in a temperaturecontrolled oven. By the Frank-Kamenetskii model. the activation energy of oxidation of the retarded coal is evaluated with 4, 6. 8 and 10 cm cube sample under a temperature range from 60 to 220°C.
