95102268 The Impact of mineral matter In coal on Its combustion, and a new approach to the determination of the caloriflc value of coal

Hou, L. ef al., Energy & Fuels, Jan.-Feb. 1995, 9, (l), 84-89. An Illinois No. 6 coal preswollen in yridine was allowed to undergo slow deswelling by solvent evaporation. R e process was monitored by NMR and NMRI techniques in order to better understand coal’s macromolecular structure and mobility of solvent within the coal. Pyridine concentration profiles and spin-spin relaxation times measured by conventional ‘H NMR suggest that pyridine diffusion in the coal network during the initial stages of the deswelling process is Fickian and that the pyridine exists within two regimes of molecular mobility. NMR imaging perpendicular to and parallel to the coal bedding plane shows that the deswelling process follows nearly isotropic behaviour.

Shirazi, A. R. et al., Fuel, Feb. 1995, 74, (2), 247-251. To estimate the influence of mineral matter in coal on coal combustion, fluidized bed combustion and pulverized coal combustion were simulated by simple models. The theoretical calorific values of some hypothetical coals of different rank and mineral matter content were calculated. The calculated calorific values of coals tend to decrease with increasing mineral matter content. This is due to endothermic reactions of decomposition of the mineral matter as well as the heat capacities of such minerals. The resulting combustion energy loss can be very large. A new approach to the calculation of the calorific value of coals is also prepared.

Estimating the combustlblllty of varlous coals by Chen, Y. et al., Energy & Fuels, Jan.-Feb. 1995, 9, (l), 71-74. To estimate the combustibility of 12 different coals involving anthracite, bituminous, and lignite, experiments of the coal combustion were carried out by usmg thermogravimetry (TG) and differential thermal analysis (DTA). High-reactivity combustibles region and low-reactivity wmbustibles region were observed during coal char combustion process. Also, two reaction rate constants (k, ad k3 for these two combustibles were determined. The value of the reaction rate wnstant of the low-reactivity combustibles (k3 is much smaller than that of the high-reactivity wmbustables (k,) in each coal and also k, shows lower temperature dependence. These are reasons why 5-101 unburned carbon remains in the ash discharged from most of the coal-fired power plants. The ignition temperature increases with decreasing volatile matter content of coal.

Extractable and bound fatty acids In core sedlments from the Nordllnger Rles, southern Germany

Goodarzi, F. and Swaine, D. J. Chem. GeoL, 1994, 118, (1), 301-318. Variations of B with ash wntent for Canadian coals of different age (Devonian to Oligocene-Ecocene) indicate that the B content of coals is not governed by the age of the coal. There is some evidence of variation of B with maceral wntent in Canadian coals, particularly as related to the inertinite and vitrinite content of coals. The B content of coal seams is sensitive to the environment of deposition, with B contents remaining relatively stable and within the range of values designated for each depositional setting. However, B values may show variation in the same seam laterally due to changes of the environment of deposition and/or the enrichment of B by a secondary source. Assessments are given for the degree of marine influence on Canadian and Australian coals. 95102270

Barakat, A. 0. and Rullkotter, J. Fuel, Mar. 1995, 74, (3), 416-425. Gas chromatography (g.c.) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (8.c.-m.s.) analyses of fatty acids directly extracted by organic solvents from five sulphur-rich lacustrine sediments in the Nordlinger Ries wmprise several homologous series. The results are discussed in terms of qualitative and quantitative variations of the fatty acids in the free and hound lipid fractions.

Zeng, F. et al., Diqiu Huuxue, 1994, 23, (3), 300-308. (In Chinese) The brown coal is liotinite-rich humic type with R, = 0.44%. The liptinite principally consists bf liptodetrinite, and-the total abundance of hydrocarbon is as high as 23736 X 1O6. Affinity to ‘sapropelic’ organic matter is indicated by pyrolytic parameters. A high proportion of hydrogen-rich component and the hydrogen index suggest that the brown coal is a favourable hydrocarbon source rock.

Landis, C. R. and Castano, J. R. Org. Geochem., 1995, 22, (I), 137-149. Discusses the strong correlations of solid hydrocarbon reflectance (SHR,) to vitrinite reflectance and bulk geochemical properties (aromaticity, T,,, *, WC, etc). These correlations suggest that, like kerogen m coals and se&mentary rocks, solid hydrocarbons vary systematically during maturation. As a consequence, SHR, is especially useful as a maturity indicator in rocks lacking vitrinite, such as pre-Devonian rocks and many organic-rich marine rocks.
