An evaluation of coal briquettes using various binders for application in fixed- bed gasification
(North-West University (South Africa) , Potchefstroom Campus, 2016)South Africa continues to rely considerably on coal as a source of energy and carbon derived chemicals. The rigorous coal mining processes result in the production of over 28 Mt of coal fines per annum. Depleting coal ... -
The influence of potassium carbonate and potassium chloride during heat treatment of an inertinite–rich bituminous char
(North-West University, 2012)Thermogravimetry, coupled with a mass spectrometer (TG-MS) was used to investigate the catalytic effect potassium carbonate (K2CO3) and potassium chloride (KCl), on the char conversion and the product gas composition of ... -
Manufacturing and testing of briquettes from inertinite-rich low-grade coal fines using various binders
(SAIMM, 2018)Inertinite-rich, low-grade coal was used with 12 binders: clays (attapulgite and bentonite), biochar, cow dung, crystallized medium-tar pitch, coal tar sludge, flocculant, fly ash, lignosulphonates, polyester resin, and ... -
A study of the influence of thermal drying on physical coal properties
(North-West University, 2009)One of the major issues facing the coal industry today is the decline in economically recoverable reserves, especially in the Witbank 1 Mpumalanga region of South Africa. This necessitates a critical review of alternate ...
