Comparison of industrial wastes as binder in the agglomeration of coal fines
(North-West University (South Africa)., 2021)The industries that consumed the most coal in South Africa, in 2015, were electricity generation, 53%, basic iron and steel manufacturing, 20%, and synthetic fuel and chemical industries, 10%, with the rest being used in ... -
Evaluation of the gasification reactivity of Highveld coals for application in the coal to liquids process
(North-West University (South Africa) , Potchefstroom Campus, 2017)Coal is a very heterogeneous substance with widely varying properties from one source to another, requiring continuous analysis to determine the properties and reaction behaviour of coals as new sources become mined. There ... -
Fluidised bed gasification of high-ash South African coals : an experimental and modelling study
(2014)South Africa has large coal reserves and produces approximately 74% of its primary energy from coal. Coal gasification using moving bed gasifiers is one of the most important coal utilisation technologies, consuming ± ... -
Investigation of coal agglomeration in a non-pressurized gasifier
(North-West University, 2008)The gasification process is vital to various applications, such as the manufacture of products in the petrochemical industry, for example chemicals, diesel and petrol. The importance of gasification to the coal industry ... -
Ionizing radiation as imaging tool for coal characterization and gasification research
(North-West University, 2012)In this study, imaging with ionizing radiation was evaluated as a research technique in coal research. Part of the evaluation was to conduct a thorough literature survey as well as a preliminary investigation into coal ... -
A study into the fundamental understanding of iron-transformations and the effect of iron as fluxing agent on Highveld fine coal sources during gasification
(North-West University, 2008)Coal, as energy resource, possesses numerous characteristics and properties which all have an influence on its gasification behaviour. The two properties considered critically important when evaluating a coal source for ...
