Coal particle chemical transformational behaviour after thermochemical conversion in a fixed bed
(Elsevier, 2016)This paper examines the chemical transformational behaviour that coal particles undergo during conversion in deep packed beds, typically found in industrial combustion and gasification operations. Experiments were performed ... -
Coal-derived low smoke fuel assessment through coal stove combustion testing
(Elsevier, 2017)A study was undertaken to investigate the production of low smoke fuel from coal currently used in low-income households in South Africa. Pyrolysis of large coal lumps was studied as a possible production method, and an ... -
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 ... -
Development and manufacturing of a prototype pulverized fuel feeder for a micro burner
(North-West University (South Africa) , Potchefstroom Campus, 2017)Existing coal fired power stations could be improved by increasing the efficiency of the combustion process. The combustion process is incorrectly set up since inaccurate calorific values (CV) for the pulverized fuel is ... -
Development of a micro burner for the experimental determination of the net calorific value at constant pressure of pulverised coal
(North-West University (South Africa), 2019)Coal combustion remains the major resource of power generation internationally. Coal consists of different substances, which influence its quality and properties. One such property is the calorific value (CV), which specifies ... -
Development of a micro scale pulverised coal test burner
(North-West University (South Africa) , Potchefstroom Campus, 2016)The power demand in South Africa continues to grow which makes it more important to understand different input parameters in power stations. One of these input parameters is the calorific value (CV) of coal. The current ... -
Spatial, temporal and source contribution assessments of aerosol black carbon over the northern interior of South Africa
(North-West University (South Africa). Potchefstroom Campus, 2019)After carbon dioxide (CO2), aerosol black carbon (BC) is considered to be the second most important contributor to global warming. Africa is one of the least studied continents, although it is regarded as the largest source ...
