Sasongko, D. and Stuhington. J. F., C/rem. Eng. sci., 1996, 5 I ) (16).39093918. A theoretical study to identify variables having a statistically significant effect on the devolatilization of fragmenting coals. To achieve this objective, a simple mathematical model has been developed for prediction of the devolatilization time of fragmenting coals and the numher of fragmentations during devolatilization in conditions relevant to fluidized bed combustion. The model has been used for a factorial evaluation to determine significant variables affecting the devolatilization time and number of fragmentations. Results of the factorial evaluation show that for both responses, the devolatilization of l-20 mm diameter coal particles at 1023-1223 K is predominantly governed by coal particle diameter. The devolatilization time is also significantly affected by coal thermal properties, and less significantly by bed temperature and reaction rate of devolatilization. In addition to coal particle diameter, the number of fragmentations is significantly affected by variables related to volatiles transport to the coal particle surface, i.e. the diameter of coal convective pores and the viscosity of volatiles.

Solubilization

of lignite with super acid

Shimizu, K. er al.. Sekitan KagakakuKaigi Happyo Ronh(inshn, 1993, 30, 23% 23h. (In Japanese) This paper studies the results of lignite solubilization with super acid, trifluoromethanesulfonic acid-isopentane through ionic reaction under mild conditions (150°C) without hydrogen. The soluhility of the treated coal was examined in terms of TFMS concentrations, chemtcal structure and oxygen containing functional groups, by comparing them to those for treated coal from Taiheiyo.

(In Japanese) Presents the results of a study into the solubilization of coal in a HF/BF,toluene system via an ionic reaction. This reaction was carried out at low temperature (50-150°C) without hydrogen in order to evaluate HFIBF? as an acid catalyst for coal solubilization with aromatic compounds.

Sasaki, A. et al., Sekitan Kagaku Kaigi Happy0 Ronlmnshu, 1993, 30, 229232. (In Japanese) The study investigates the effects of supercritical water on coal properties. Coal was extracted with supercritical water using a semi-hutch reactor at various temperatures and pressures. The results showed that carboxyl groups in coal decreased in supercritical water condition.

Zhao, Z. et al., Meirun Zhuanhua, 1996, 19, (1) X8-96. (In Chinese) This review contains 41 references on the supercritical compressed-gas extraction of coal, looking specifically at: (I) solvent system for the supercritical extraction. (2) supercritical extraction of coal under the hydrogenation and the catalysis, (3) dynamics of the supercritical extraction, (4) structure analysis for products ohtaincd by the supercritical extraction. and (5) main factors influencing the supercritical extraction of coal.

97/00105 Water adsorption and small angle X-ray scattering studies on the effect of coal thermal treatment Mitropoulos, A. Ch. et al., Curbo,t, 1996, 34, (h), 775-781. The paper examines the effect of thermal treatment, at a relatively high temperature (- 34O’C), on two high-volatile bituminous coals. The results were obtained by water adsorption and small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). They suggest that the mesopore structure in both samples undergoes a partial collapse. Furthermore, a.strong hydrophobic effect, at the very early stages of the adsorption process, is noted for only one of them. This observation is attrihuted to differences in the rigidity of each of the structures. Analysis of the spectra in terms of fractal geometry is also performed. It is proposed that thermal treatment changes the coal matrixes from a diluted to dense configuration. Heating causes a breakage of some oxygen and sulfur bridges giving rise to these structure alterations.

A discussion, in two parts, of an integrated systematic approach to transport, inventory and processing of production materials, process chemicals. and bulk commodities. The 1st system integrates the transport, inventory and processing of pure sulfur in the production of SO? for flue gas conditioning. The 2nd system provides for a radical, yet, sample redesign for the automated, physical receipt, storage and use of coal inventories.
