    • Coal product moisture control using stockpiles 

      Campbell, Quentin; Le Roux, Marco; Espag, Chané (Springer, 2016)
      The moisture content of product coal is a major factor influencing the efficiency of downstream coal utilization processes. Product stockpiles are often used as a control measure to regulate the moisture content of the ...

    • Drying of coal fines assisted by ceramic sorbents 

      Van Rensburg, M.J.; Le Roux, M.; Campbell, Q.P. (Springer, 2016)
      It is proposed to introduce contact sorption drying as a method to reduce the moisture content in coal fines. The aim of this study was to investigate the possibility of drying fine and ultra-fine coal using porous ceramic ...

    • Moisture adsorption and desorption characteristics of some South African coals 

      Campbell, Q.P.; Barnardo, M.D.; Bunt, J.R. (SAIMM, 2013)
      The high final total moisture content of fine coal after mining and processing is one of the major reasons that this resource is not extensively used in subsequent power generation, combustion, or other conversion processes. ...

    • Validation of using a modified BET model to predict the moisture adsorption behavior of bituminous coal 

      Strydom, C.A.; Campbell, Q.P.; Le Roux, M.; Du Preez, S.M. (Taylor & Francis, 2016)
      A good correlation exists between the amount of moisture adsorbed and the oxygen content of medium-rank B vitrinite-rich and medium-rank C inertinite-rich bituminous coal. Total mass moisture adsorbed per gram of coal ...
