Trans. Sot. Min., Metall., Explor., 1995, Dean, J. M. and Grayson, R. L. (Pub. 1996), 298, 89-9OiSection 1. The Mine Management Support Program (MANSUPP) principally aims to plan a detailed manpower structure for a mine incorporating a production schedule, condition-modified work standards and management preferences to predict required effort-hours for various support activities.
A procedure for the prediction 97101669 for polyfractional mixture flow

drops
Sobota, J. BHR Group Conf. Ser. Puhl., 1996, 20, (Slurry Handling and Pipeline Transport. Hydrotransport 13), 283-296. A procedure for predicting the hydraulic gradient for polyfractional mixture flow in pipelines is proposed. Solids conveyed by the liquid. stream are divided into two categories. The first includes coarse solids transported by substantial slip in relation to the liquid. The second is made up of fine solids conveyed with the same velocity as liquid. The results are relevant for the transportation of coal.

Proc. Annu. Int. Pittsburgh Cod Confi 1995, 12,881-886. Kopp, 0. C. et al. Two West Virginia coals, the Powellton (Raleigh County) and the Bakerstown (Barbour County), extracted using NMP, were studied using a combined TG-MS technique. The results of this study suggest that the solvent extraction process is very efficient, leaving approximately 1% (or less) ash in the solvent extract. Information obtained through combined T&MS analyses reveals the temperatures at which the various volatile components are released from a coal and its extract, and the sequence in which they are released. Such information may be useful in monitoring the extraction process and predicting the behaviour of such materials during subsequent processes, such as liquefaction and activation.

This paper discusses the AEC briquette, a low cost briquette prepared from coal fines and an inorganic binder which may be used as a replacement for coal without any equipment modifications. Combustion test data for its use in residential stoves is described.

manufacture
of
pitch
Cheshko, F. F. et al. Koks Khim., 1995, (7), 19-24. (In Russian) The process involves the heating of a broad anthracene oil fraction at 455°C and 7 MPa for 4 h in a batch reactor. Pitch is then isolated from this thermally treated anthracene oil by distillation This pitch is coked to give needle coke for production of electrodes and other carbonaceous materials,

Gainieva, G. R. et al. Koks Khim. 1995, (8), 10-14. (In Russian) Charge density is increased by adding five percent gas coal to coking charges, without worsening the mechanical strength and physicochemical properties of the resultant coke.
97lO1700 Characterization of petroleum coke as an additive in metallurgical coke making. Modification of thermoplastic properties of coal Menendez, J. A. Energy Fuels, 1996, 10, (6), 1262-126X. The assumption that green petroleum coke behaves as an inert material in co-carbonization with coking coal blends and has no active behaviour on the important thermoplastic properties of the coal blend is investigated. The objective of this study was to clarify effects arising when different petroleum cokes are added to a single coal or an industrial blend. A good correlation among the parameters obtained from the above techniques/methods was found, indicating that the presence of unreacted and partially carbonized material, the hydrogen donor ability, the relative proportion of Me and methylene groups, the amount of volatile matter released at a temperature range between 400 and 5OO”C, the temperature of maximum volatile matter evolution and, finally, the agglomeration degree of petroleum cokes can be considered as important factors in the plastic properties of co-carbonization systems with coking coals.

Sardesai, A. et al. Proc. Annu. Int. Pittsburgh Coal Conf., 1995, 12, 716721. The second stage in the conversion of synthesis gas to hydrocarbons is the DTH process, in which DME produced from the LPDME (liquid-phase DME manufacturing) process is converted to CI..I,,-hydrocarbons. The product distribution can be controlled by varying the operating temperature, pressure and space velocity of DME. Data obtained in the production of hydrocarbons from DME-CO2 mixtures were consistent with the accepted mechanism of hydrocarbon formation for DME-MeOH systems.

TGA, adsorption, IR, and I”’ Xe NMR techniques were used to investigate the mode of deactivation and coke formation in a H-ZSM-5 zeolite during ethylbenzene disproportionation. The initial rate of deactivation and the total coke content are found to increase with increasing conversion level, It is found that neither the pore opening nor the acid site were completely blocked off by coke residues even at the highest coke loading.
World coal
Chadwick, J. Min. Mug. 1996, 175, (4), 213-216, 218-219. In 1995, world coal consumption was characterized by strong demand growth in the emerging market economies, which was countered by declines in the countries of the former Soviet Union. This resulted in an overall global increase of 1.2%, during which coal prices increased by nearly 20% to a IO-yr high. A discussion of the world coal market in 1995 is presented.

More than ten different coal liquids, producted from various processes and coals, were used to study the synthesis of pitch carbon fibres and activated carbon fibres. Slight or non-hydrogenating processes at controlled conditions appear to be suitable for producing carbon fibre precursors with reasonable spinning characteristics, high C/H, high softening/spinning temperature and low cost, allowing effective and efficient oxidative stabilization.
