Speciation and thermal transformation of sulfur forms in high-sulfur coal and its utilization in coal-blending coking process:A review

The utilization of high-sulfur coal is becoming more urgent due to the excessive utilization of low-sulfur,high-quality coal resources,and sulfur removal from high-sulfur coal is the most important issue.This paper reviews the speciation,forms and distribution of sulfur in coal,the sulfur removal from raw coal,the thermal transformation of sulfur during coal pyrolysis,and the sulfur regulation during coal-blending coking of high organic-sulfur coals.It was suggested that the proper characterization of sulfur in coal cannot be obtained only by either chemical method or instrumental characterization,which raises the need of a combination of current or newly adopted characterization methods.Different from the removal of inorganic sulfur from coal,the organic sulfur can only be partly removed by chemical technologies;and the coal structure and property,particularly high-sulfur coking coals which have caking ability,may be altered and affected by the pretreatment processes.Based on the interactions among the sulfur radicals,sulfur-containing and hydrogen-containing fragments during coal pyrolysis and the reactions with minerals or nascent char,regulating the sulfur transformation behavior in the process of thermal conversion is the most effective way to utilize high organic-sulfur coals in the coke-making industry.An in-situ regulation approach of sulfur transformation during coal-blending coking has been suggested.That is,the high volatile coals with an appropriate releasing temperature range of CH4 overlapping well with that of H2 S from high organic-sulfur coals is blended with high organic-sulfur coals,and the C–S/C–C bonds in some sulfur forms are catalytically broken and immediately hydrogenated by the hydrogencontaining radicals generated from high volatile coals.Wherein,the effect of mass transfer on sulfur regulation during the coking process should be considered for the larger-scale coking tests through optimizing the ratios of different coals in the coal blend.

Feasibility Investigation of Bitumen Properties by Blending of Coal Tar Pitch

There are numerous methods and additives available to improve the durability and quality of road bitumen. A coal tar obtained by coal coking was distilled in a laboratory into fractions of initial boiling point IBP-180℃ (gasoline-like fuel), 180℃ - 360℃ (diesel-like fuel), and >360℃ (residue or coal tar pitch). The coal tar pitch was added into road bitumen by up to 1 - 5 wt% and investigated the alteration of physical and chemical properties. The physico-mechanical properties of coal tar pitch and bitumen blends, as well as the chemical group composition, were determined using standard techniques (MNS) and the SARA method, respectively. Results of 3% coal tar pitch addition into bitumen enhanced ductility by 12.4% and softening point by 1.6℃. We found that blending with bitumen coal tar pitch as a modifier could improve bitumen properties.

Guidance method to use mixed coal in blending for coking

Based on the principle that the adaptation can be reflected by the overlap of reflectance distribution peaks,the effect of various types mixed coal for coking is analyzed.Based on the action of the vitrinite of different reflectance range and the adaptation,a new method for guidance blending coal is established.Through simulation,blending coal using the software of HD automatic microscope photometer,makes the synthetic blending coal reflectance distribution map to nothing notch wide single peak flat-shaped symmetrical distribution,blending coal random reflectance meets 1.1 - 1.2,the standard deviation meets 0.35 - 0.4.It is based on the conditions that active component in the blending is excessive.Using this method,the mixed coal can be used as much as possible and play a positive role.The problem about implementation process is discussed.

Quality of Some Nigerian Coals as Blending Stock in Metallurgical Coke Production

Two Nigerian coals, Lafia-Obi and Chikila were blended in the mass ratio of 70:30 with imported American and Polish coking coals. Proximate analysis, free swelling index, Ruhr dilatometer and Gieseler plastometer were used in assessing the coking qualities of both the single coals and the blends. The results show that the blends are lower in moisture and ash contents;higher in volatile matter and fixed carbon than the single Nigerian coals. The rheological parameters revealed superiority in thermo-plastic properties of the blends over the unblended local coals. Lafia-Obi/Foreign coals blends possess lower ash and better rheological properties compared to Chikila/Foreign coal composites which have high ash and poor rheological properties. These together suggest that amongst the two Nigerian coals, Lafia-Obi is superior for blending with the foreign ones in metallurgical coke production.

Preparation of CaO-containing carbon pellets from coking coal and calcium oxide:Effects of temperature,pore distribution and carbon structure on compressive strength in pyrolysis furnace

CaO-containing carbon pellets(CCCP)were successfully prepared from well-mixed coking coal(CC)and calcium oxide(CaO)and roasted at different pyrolysis temperatures.The effects of temperature,pore distribution,and carbon structure on the compressive strength of CCCP was investigated in a pyrolysis furnace(350-750℃).The results showed that as the roasting temperature increased,the compressive strength also increased and furthermore,structural defects and imperfections in the carbon crystallites were gradually eliminated to form more organized char structures,thus forming high-ordered CC.Notably,the CCCP preheated at 750℃exhibited the highest compressive strength.A positive relationship between the compressive strength and pore-size homogeneity was established.A linear relationship between the com-pressive strength of the CCCP and the average stack height of CC was observed.Additionally,a four-stage caking mechanism was developed.

Preparation and coking properties of coal maceral concentrates

The concentrates with different maceral contents were obtained from Kailuan coking coals with different coal ranks(Ro;ranvarying from 0.88%to 1.73%)by float–sink separation in lab.Then these concentrates were characterized by proximate analysis,ultimate analysis,petrography analysis and coking index determination.The results show that the vitrinite is characterized as nature of lower carbon content,higher hydrogen content,higher volatile matter and stronger caking property compared to inertinite.The relationships between variation rate of volatile matter and maximum volatile matter and coal ranks are identified,and a linear model is developed for fast determination of the maceral contents.Compared to inertinite-rich concentrate,the blending ratio of vitrinite-rich concentrate is increased by 13%,which is considered to be a potential technique based on maceral separation for expanding the coking coal resources.

Preparation and performance analysis of a coking coal dust suppressant spray

Coking coal dust is extremely hydrophobic;therefore,combination with droplets in the air is difficult and dust suppression is challenging.Here,a dust suppressant spray for coking coal dust was studied in order to improve of the combination of droplets and coking coal dust.Based on monomer optimization and compounding analysis,two surfactant monomers,fatty alcohol ether sodium sulfate(AES)and sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate(SDBS)were selected as the surfactant components of the dust suppressant.The surfactant monomers were combined with four inorganic salts and the reverse osmosis moisture absorption of each solution was determined.By combining the reverse osmosis moisture absorption values with the water retention experimental results,CaCl_(2)was identified as the optimal inorganic salt additive for the dust suppressant.Finally,the optimal concentration of each component was obtained using orthogonal experimental design i.e.,AES(0.03%),SDBS(0.05%),and CaCl_(2)(0.4%).The dust suppressant solution formulated using this method had a high moisture absorption capacity and excellent performance.

Influence of coal blending on mineral transformation at high temperatures

Transformation of mineral matter is important for coal utilization at high temperatures.This is especially true for blended coal.XRD and FTIR were employed together to study the transformation of mineral matter at high temperature in blended coals.It was found that the concentration of catalytic minerals, namely iron oxides, increases with an increasing ratio of Shenfu coal, which could improve coal gasification.The transformation characteristics of the minerals in blended coals are not exactly predictable from the blend ratio.This was proved by comparing the iron oxide content to the blending ratio.The results from FTIR are comparable with those from XRD.FTIR is an effective method for examining variation in mineral matter.

酸化后焦煤表面性和孔隙性变化对吸附热的影响

目的为了探究酸化后焦煤的表面性和孔隙性变化对其吸附热的影响,方法选取山西古交矿区焦煤为研究对象,利用盐酸(HCl)和氢氟酸(HF)酸化处理,采用接触角法、低温液氮吸附法和微量热法等测试方法,对比分析了酸化前后焦煤的煤-水接触角、表面张力、孔隙结构等变化,并探讨了这些变化对吸附热的影响机制。结果酸化后焦煤的平均煤-水接触角由75.10°增至80.11°,平均表面张力由44.44 mJ/m^(2)减至39.48 mJ/m^(2),亲水性减弱;酸化后焦煤的总孔容、中孔孔容、比表面积和平均孔径均增大,而微孔和大孔的孔容及比表面积均减小,表明矿物质脱除有利于微孔向中孔转化;同等压力下,随着温度升高,分子热运动加强,分子能量突破固体表面势垒,气体分子成为游离态,导致原煤和脱灰煤的积分吸附热和微分吸附热减小,且脱灰煤的吸附热高于原煤的。结论矿物质会减弱焦煤对气体的吸附能力,且占据焦煤表面的吸附位。因此,酸化后矿物质的脱除导致焦煤表面的吸附位增加,是引起吸附热增大的主要原因。

炼焦煤热解过程中膨胀压力的形成机制及对焦炭质量的影响

在工业室式炼焦过程中,膨胀压力过高会造成焦炉炉墙损坏及推焦困难,膨胀压力过低会影响焦炭产品质量。现行焦化工艺通过调节入炉煤挥发分控制膨胀压力,缺乏对炼焦煤膨胀压力形成机制的本质认识,可能导致焦炉运行不稳定、焦炭质量波动大等问题。基于此,通过分析炼焦煤结构特性,从分子水平探究了膨胀压力的形成及演变,并揭示了炼焦煤膨胀性与焦炭质量的本质联系。利用核磁共振碳谱(^(13)C NMR)分析了五种不同煤阶的炼焦煤(Q1,JA1,F1,J1和S1)的化学结构。通过热重分析(TGA)、小型热解实验等方法以及基式流动度测定仪、奥亚膨胀仪、透气性在线检测装置及膨胀压力和膨胀位移检测装置等仪器探究了单种煤热解过程中煤基体分解行为、流动特性和膨胀特性的演化机制。结果表明:热解气体CO,CO_(2),CH4的释放和低透气性带的形成影响了膨胀压力的产生,适宜的膨胀压力可提高焦炭质量;300℃~450℃是煤产生膨胀压力的温区,与煤中f_(al)^(O1),f_(al)^(O2)和f_(al)^(1)~f_(al)^(5)结构的分解有关;膨胀压力过高(120 kPa~180 kPa)的煤,形成的焦炭孔隙多、真密度小,质量差;膨胀压力适中(90 kPa~120 kPa)的煤,形成的焦炭质量较好。
