Synthesis, characterization and application of a dispersant based on rosin for coal-water slurry

A rosin derivative and maleopimaric acid diethanolamide(MAD), was synthesized, characterized by FTIR and1 H NMR, and applied as dispersant for the coal-water slurry(CWS) prepared from Chinese Shenfu coal. The CWS application performance investigation shows that the MAD dispersant has better abilities in reducing CWS viscosity and stabilizing the slurry than a commercial dispersant—sulfonated naphthalene-formaldehyde condensate(SNF). The physicochemical property investigation of the two tested dispersants shows that the adsorption amount of the MAD at coal-water interface is much larger than that of SNF, and the MAD has better wetting property than the SNF on the coal surface. It indicated that the excellent capabilities of MAD are related to the adsorption mode of standing upright on the coal surface. Based on the above, the mechanism of dispersion and stabilization of the CWS prepared from MAD dispersant is presented.

A comparative investigation of the properties of coal-water slurries prepared from Australia and Shenhua coals

Two coal samples of similar rank were chosen from Australia and China to investigate the differences in Coal-Water Slurry (CWS) made from them. The effect of ash content and particle size gradation on these properties was also studied. Different grinding times were used when grinding the two coals and particle size analysis of these ground coals was used to select samples with a ''double-peak'' particle size distribution. All the ''double-peak'' samples were used to prepare a CWS. The concentration, viscosity, fluidity, and stability of each CWS were measured. The results show that the properties of a CWS prepared from a coal sample with a ''double-peak'' size distribution are better than those CWS prepared from samples with a mono-modal particle distribution. The ash content of Australian coal is 21.72% higher than the ash content of Shenhua coal. The highest coal concentration in slurry from the Australia coal is 11.01% higher than in CWS from the Shenhua coal. The fluidity and stability of the CWS prepared from the Australian coal are both better than the fluidity and stability of slurry prepared from Shenhua coal. High ash content in the Australian coal improves the pulping results of a CWS made from it.

Artificial neural network approach for rheological characteristics of coal-water slurry using microwave pre-treatment

Detailed experimental investigations were carried out for microwave pre-treatment of high ash Indian coal at high power level(900 W) in microwave oven. The microwave exposure times were fixed at60 s and 120 s. A rheology characteristic for microwave pre-treatment of coal-water slurry(CWS) was performed in an online Bohlin viscometer. The non-Newtonian character of the slurry follows the rheological model of Ostwald de Waele. The values of n and k vary from 0.31 to 0.64 and 0.19 to 0.81 Pa·sn,respectively. This paper presents an artificial neural network(ANN) model to predict the effects of operational parameters on apparent viscosity of CWS. A 4-2-1 topology with Levenberg-Marquardt training algorithm(trainlm) was selected as the controlled ANN. Mean squared error(MSE) of 0.002 and coefficient of multiple determinations(R^2) of 0.99 were obtained for the outperforming model. The promising values of correlation coefficient further confirm the robustness and satisfactory performance of the proposed ANN model.

Application of coal-water slurry on the rotary calcining kiln of pedgion magnesium reduction process

Energy saving has been an important concept in modern industry especially to the countries and regions with energy shortage such as China and Japan. Utilization of Coal-Water Slurry (CWS) can improve the burning efficiency of coal and reduce the pollutions of soot, sulfide and the nitride by burning lump coal directly. The CWS is a premising energy saving technique and the effectual substitute of oil. The study on the preparation and application of the CWS has made progresses in many aspects. The present paper studied the basal problems for applying the CWS on the rotary kilns during the calcining-dolomite process in the magnesium factory, summarized the key points for the application process of the CWS and gave the corresponding solutions.

Combustion and Sulfur-fixing Performance of Pulping Black Liquor Coal-water Slurry

The effects of adding pulping black liquor and other additives to coal-water slurry(CWS) on the sulfur-fixing performance of the resultant mixture(pulping black liquor coal-water slurry) were evaluated. The experimental results demonstrated that the ash content of the black liquor coalwater slurry decreased as the addition of pulping black liquor in the mixture increased. Nevertheless, the addition amount should be appropriately selected to ensure that the black liquor coal-water slurry had a moderate calorific value. Addition of black liquor improved the combustion performance of CWS by lowering the ignition point and stabilizing the combustion process; moreover, the sulfur-fixation ratio after combustion increased by 12 to 16 percentage points than that of CWS, and the content of high-melting-point salt in the ash from CWS after adding black liquor was low. The sulfur-fixing ratio of CWS after adding a sulfur-fixing agent was effectively increased by 25 to 30 percenatge points, but with compromise of the fluidity and stability of the CWS; thus, the addition amount of a sulfur-fixing agent should be optimized.

Characterization of coal water slurry prepared for PRB coal

Powder River Basin(PRB)coal,which accounts for over 40%of the coal consumed for power generation in the United States,was investigated for preparation of coal water slurry(CWS).The static stability and rheology of the CWS were characterized as a function of loading.The coal loading was varied from 30%to 50%and both ionic(sodium polystyrene sulphonate(PSS))and nonionic(Triton X-100)surfactants were employed as additives.The addition of PSS to PRB slurries was found to yield poor static stability.On the other hand,Triton X-100 was found to be an effective surfactant,reducing the sedimentation by more than 50%compared to the one without surfactant in 45%CWS.Adding Triton X-100 reduces the viscosity of the CWS for coal loadings of30%and 40%.Although the viscosities for coal loading of 42.5%and 45%are higher when Triton X-100 is added,the static stability is significantly better than for samples without surfactant.The highest coal loading for PRB slurry with acceptable viscosity for pumping is 42.5%.

Blended coals for improved coal water slurries

Three coal samples of different ranks were used to study the effect of coal blending on the preparation of Coal Water Slurry (CWS). The results show that by taking advantage of two kinds of coal, the coal concentration in slurry made from hard-to-pulp coal can be effectively improved and increased by 3%–5% generally. DLT coal (DaLiuTa coal mine) is very poor in slurryability and the stability and rheology of the resulting slurry are not very good. When the amount of easily slurried coal is more than 30%, all properties of the CWS improve and the CWS meets the requirements for use as fuel. Coalification, porosity, surface oxygenic functional groups, zeta potential and grindability have a great effect on the performance of blended coal CWS. This leads to some differences in performance between the slurry made from a single coal and slurry made from blended coal.

水煤浆添加剂的研究现状

近年来,水煤浆技术作为一种高效的煤炭清洁利用途径备受关注。但水煤浆的成浆性能受到煤质、煤粉粒度分布、添加剂等因素的制约,其中添加剂是水煤浆制备过程中决定生产成本和浆体性能的重要因素。介绍了传统水煤浆添加剂的主要特点,综述了污泥、工业废水、生物质等废弃物作为环保型水煤浆添加剂的研究进展,并对水煤浆添加剂未来的发展方向进行了展望。

基于煤颗粒−结合水复合相的水煤浆导热系数预测模型

水煤浆气流床气化是目前大型先进煤气化技术之一,提升水煤浆气化效率有助于推动煤炭清洁高效利用。水煤浆预热技术被认为是提高煤气化能源利用效率的关键技术之一。目前,复杂液固悬浮液导热系数的变化规律和内在机理仍未被完全认识。导热系数是介质流动换热的重要基础参数,表征着其在稳态导热过程的导热能力。利用瞬态热线法测定不同温度下相同质量分数水煤浆的导热系数,实验结果表明:温度越高,导热系数越高。在室温下测定不同质量分数下水煤浆的导热系数,实验结果表明可以分为2个阶段:质量分数从51%增大到58%时为下降区,导热系数快速下降,由0.401 W/(m·K)降至0.358 W/(m·K);而质量分数继续增加,从58%到67%时为恒定区,导热系数基本保持在0.358 W/(m·K)。基于实验结果,综合考虑平行模型、麦克斯韦模型、广义自洽模型等复合材料模型,提出煤颗粒−结合水复合的水煤浆导热系数平行预测模型。水煤浆中的水分包含自由水和结合水,结合水会和煤颗粒形成煤颗粒−结合水复合相,将水煤浆视为复合相和自由水相组成的两相复合材料。在下降区,随着煤颗粒质量分数的增加,自由水相减少,复合相不变,水煤浆导热系数快速降低;在恒定区,随着煤颗粒质量分数的进一步增加,复合相中的结合水量减少,但复合相的导热系数基本维持稳定。

费托合成废催化剂蜡渣掺混对工业水煤浆成浆特性的影响

将蜡渣以不同比例掺入工业水煤浆中制备环保型水煤浆,可实现费托合成废催化剂蜡渣资源化、无害化处理。利用旋转流变仪测定浆体的最大成浆浓度、流变性等,借助Zeta电位仪定量分析添加蜡渣对于水煤浆稳定性的影响,使用FTIR表征煤、蜡渣颗粒表面的官能团,利用SEM和接触角测量仪对煤和蜡渣表面形貌和接触角进行分析,通过绘制蜡渣水煤浆的稳定分散图,探究蜡渣的掺混对成浆特性的影响机制。结果表明:随着蜡渣添加量的增加,浆体表观黏度增大,最大成浆浓度降低,水煤浆和蜡渣水煤浆都表现出剪切变稀的假塑性特征;加入蜡渣后,浆体的Zeta电位有所增大,蜡渣水煤浆的析水率与相同浓度的工业水煤浆的析水率相比区别不大;通过红外光谱仪及接触角分析仪分析可知,蜡渣表面活性差,疏水性强,进入水煤浆后,水会在蜡渣颗粒表面聚结,造成浆体中自由水损失,从而造成黏度增加,最大成浆浓度降低;同时由于煤表面形成了水化膜,其表面亲水,蜡渣表面疏水,在体系中二者不会发生团聚,所以蜡渣的加入对浆体的稳定性起到了一定的积极作用。
