1386.
Extensive preparation, plant modifications, and larger dryers are often required for the need for lower sulfur coals with lower final moisture in order to meet North American utility requirements. Hyperbaric filtration as employed in the ANDRITZ Hyperbaric Filter (HBF), has hecome accepted technology for coal preparation plant retrofits through Europe and Asia. The possibility for the implementation of hyperbaric filtration in North American preparation plants is investigated. The use of HBF aims to increase fine coal production and BTU values through lower cake moisture, while lowering thermal dryer cost and stack emissions. 97102644 Kinetic study of COP gasification of maceral chars prepared from British coal Zhao. W. et a/. Meitun Zhuanhlia. 1996, 19, (4), 50-55. (In Chinese) A study was conducted on three maceral groups (vitrinite, fusinite and exinite) separated from British coal and their gasification kinetics in CO? were studied by TGA (thermogravimetric analysis) at the pressure of 0.1 MPa. Kinetic parameters were obtained by fitting TGA data of isothermal cxperimcnts on the three maceral groups. Manufacture of coke for blast furnaces 97102645 Kato. K. et al. Jpn..

I3 Feb 1997, Appl. 19.529,441, IO Aug 1995. 4 pp. (In German) A mixture of a liquid or pasty combustible industrial residue and coal, brown coal, or coke carrier (as an adsorbent) balance is used to produce flowable granular fuel. The homogenized mixture is then comminuted in a hammer mill to attain a particle size of

97102649 Postreaction mechanical strength of coke from Kuznetsk coals Bazegskii, A. E. et al. Koks Khim., 1996. (ll), 21-22. (In Russian) Cokes produced from Kuznetsk coals at several Siberian plants were studied to determine their mechanical strength after reaction with CO2 at 1100°C. All these cokes met the CSR and CR1 mechanical strength standards. 97102650 Preparation of high-quality pitches. Review. Ruschev, D. D. and Bekyarova, E.E. Koks Khim.. 1996, (I I), 29-33. Coal-tar pitch specifications and methods for its preparation are presented. 97102651 Production of coke from non-caking bituminous coal Caplin, P. B. S. African ZA 95 06,406 (Cl. CO1 B). I I Mar 1996. ZA Appl. 9417,600, 29 Sep 1994, I7 pp. Non-caking bituminous coal was heated in a reactor with hot gases of substantially stoichiometric combustion of a hydrocarbon fuel. The atmospheric in the reactor maintained inert by the injection of steam into the reactor in quantities sufficient to at least saturate the atmospheric. The acidity of the atmospheric in the reactor is maintained and the steam is introduced into the reactor in 0.2-0.7 wt8 of coal treated. The gas vented from the reactor is stripped of tars and liquor and recycled. 97102652 Programmeable temperature control in an electric furnace for laboratory coking based on a microprocessor controller Reznikov, Y.

97102657 Approximations for burning velocities and Markstein numbers for lean hydrocarbon and methanol flames Muller, U. C. et al. Comhmtim and Flame, 1997, 108, (3), 349-3.56. The authors calculated the burning velocities of lean-to-stoichiometric nheptane-, iso-octane-, and methanol-air mixtures over a wide range of pressure and preheat temperatures. The numerical calculations are based on elementary reaction mechanisms comprising a few hundred reactions. A two-equation analytic expression that has successfully been applied for flames of methane, ethylene, ethane, acetylene, and propane was implemented to approximate them. Markstein numbers are also predicted for all these fuels and compared with the few existing experimental data on Markstein numbers in the literaturd.
