Coal washing scenario in India and future prospects

Coal Washing Exploration in India dates back to 1900s; though, first coking coal washeries in India were installed after independence. At present, most of the coking coal washeries are owned by Public Sector Companies; whereas, most of the non-coking coal washeries are owned by Private Sector. Even after six decades of coal washing practices, there has not been significant development in the coal washing intelligentsia. Indian Coal Washing industry is still dependent on imported equipment, which has been designed to treat coal that is significantly different from Indian coal of drift origin. In this paper, authors have ventured into evolution of Indian Coal Washing Industry （with a focus on coking coal washing sector）, its present condition and future prospect for growth. The paper emphasizes need for developing indigenous solutions to industrial challenges and highlights importance of increased coordination among academia-research institutions and coal industry.

Reviews of clean coal conversion technology in China:Situations & challenges

It is important to develop the advanced coal to chemicals industry(ACCI)against a backdrop of coal-based energy structures,excessive imported oil and natural gas,and strict environmental constraints in China.In this study,the technology and industry of China’s ACCI are reviewed to explain the effect of using coal to replace oil and natural gas,and the corresponding resource and environmental burdens that this will create.Development trends in technology and industry are also proposed to explore future scenarios.The review shows that although excellent progress has been made on an industrial scale,demonstrative level,and in terms of technology and equipment,the lack of strategic understanding,severe external constraints,partly underdeveloped technologies,and weak foundations must be immediately addressed.Therefore,it is necessary to clarify the importance that the ACCI has on the energy revolution and energy system.Based on technological innovation,a variety of external factors should be considered as a whole with emphasis on filling the knowledge gap of theoretical foundations and industry standards to support high-quality development for ACCI.

Effect of alkalinity on nitrite accumulation in treatment of coal chemical industry wastewater using moving bed biofilm reactor

Nitrogen removal via nitrite （the nitrite pathway） is more suitable for carbon-limited industrial wastewater. Partial nitrification to nitrite is the primary step to achieve nitrogen removal via nitrite. The effect of alkalinity on nitrite accumulation in a continuous process was investigated by progressively increasing the alkalinity dosage ratio （amount of alkalinity to ammonia ratio, mol/mol）. There is a close relationship among alkalinity, pH and the state of matter present in aqueous solution. When alkalinity was insufficient （compared to the theoretical alkalinity amount）, ammonia removal efficiency increased first and then decreased at each alkalinity dosage ratio, with an abrupt removal efficiency peak. Generally, ammonia removal efficiency rose with increasing alkalinity dosage ratio. Ammonia removal efficiency reached to 88% from 23% when alkalinity addition was sufficient. Nitrite accumulation could be achieved by inhibiting nitrite oxidizing bacteria （NOB） by free ammonia （FA） in the early period and free nitrous acid in the later period of nitrification when alkalinity was not adequate. Only FA worked to inhibit the activity of NOB when alkalinity addition was sufficient.

Carbon reduction potential and cost evaluation of different mitigation approaches in China’s coal to olefin Industry

Coal-based olefin(CTO)industry as a complement of traditional petrochemical industry plays vital role in China’s national economic development.However,high CO2 emission in CTO industry is one of the fatal problems to hinder its development.In this work,the carbon emission and mitigation potentials by different reduction pathways are evaluated.The economic cost is analyzed and compared as well.According to the industry development plan,the carbon emissions from China’s CTO industry will attain 189.43 million ton C02(MtC02)and 314.11 MtC02 in 2020 and 2030,respectively.With the advanced technology level,the maximal carbon mitigation potential could be attained to 15.3%and 21.9%in 2020 and 2030.If the other optional mitigation ways are combined together,the carbon emission could further reduce to some extent.In general,the order of mitigation potential is followed as:feedstock alteration by natural gas>C02 hydrogenation with renewable electricity applied>CCS technology.The mitigation cost analysis indicates that on the basis of 2015 situation,the economic penalty for feedstock alteration is the lowest,ranged between 186 and 451 CNY/tCO2,and the cost from CCS technology is ranged between 404 and 562 CNY/tC02,which is acceptable if the C02 enhanced oil recovery and carbon tax are considered.However,for the C02 hydrogenation technology,the cost is extremely high and there is almost no application possibility at present.

Forward osmosis coupled with lime-soda ash softening for volume minimization of reverse osmosis concentrate and CaCO_(3) recovery: A case study on the coal chemical industry

Reverse osmosis(RO)is frequently used for water reclamation from treated wastewater or desalination plants.The RO concentrate(ROC)produced from the coal chemical industry(CCI)generally contains refractory organic pollutants and extremely high-concentration inorganic salts with a dissolved solids content of more than 20 g/L contributed by inorganic ions,such as Na^(+),Ca^(2+),Mg^(2+),Cl^(−),and SO_(4)^(2−).To address this issue,in this study,we focused on coupling forward osmosis(FO)with chemical softening(FO-CS)for the volume minimization of CCI ROC and the recovery of valuable resources in the form of CaCO_(3).In the case of the real raw CCI ROC,softening treatment by lime-soda ash was shown to effectively remove Ca^(2+)/Ba^(2+)(>98.5%)and Mg^(2+)/Sr^(2+)/Si(>80%),as well as significantly mitigate membrane scaling during FO.The softened ROC and raw ROC corresponded to a maximum water recovery of 86%and 54%,respectively.During cyclic FO tests(4×10 h),a 27%decline in the water flux was observed for raw ROC,whereas only 4%was observed for softened ROC.The cleaning efficiency using EDTA was also found to be considerably higher for softened ROC(88.5%)than that for raw ROC(49.0%).In addition,CaCO3(92.2%purity)was recovered from the softening sludge with an average yield of 5.6 kg/m^(3) treated ROC.This study provides a proof-of-concept demonstration of the FO-CS coupling process for ROC volume minimization and valuable resources recovery,which makes the treatment of CCI ROC more efficient and more economical.

Capability of phenol-degrading biofilm

The degradation rate of phenol-degrading biofilm was studied.The biofilm of the biofilm was a kind of phenol-degrading bacteria.The bacteria was separated from coal chemical industry wastewater.The carbon source adopted four kinds of phenols,including phenol,methyl phenol,2-methyl phenol and resorcinol.Stenotrophomonas maltophilia K279a was gained.Twelve ratio of artificial phenol mixture was designed.The degradation rate of the twelve groups was all 99.9% in 16 h.The degradation rate from high to low was phenol,resorcinol,methyl phenol,2-methyl phenol.Phenol improved the degradation of the other phenols.The coal chemical wastewater contained 980 mg/L COD and 805 mg/L phenol.The degradation rate of COD and phenol was 70% and 77%,respectively.The domesticated biofilm (D) and the biofilm without domestication (WD) respectively used 45 h and 56 h.The results showed that the biofilm can be applied to the aerobic treatment process with high proportion of total phenol.

Characterization of coal oil using three-dimensional excitation and emission matrix fluorescence spectroscopy

Three-dimensional （3D） excitation-emission matrix （EEM） fluorescence spectroscopy is applied to characterize the coal oil. The results show that the 3D fluorescence spectra of coal oil in aqueous solution mainly have one broad peak. This peak is identified at the excitation/emission wavelengths of 270/290 nm. The relation between the fluorescence intensity and the concentration of coal oil is also studied. When the concentration lies between 2 - 2000 ppm, the relation between the fluorescence intensity and the concentration of coal oil is well linear. The nature of solvents significantly affects the EEM fluorescence of coal oil.

Management and Practice of Large-Scale Modern Coal Enterprises

As the coal-dominated energy structure will remain unchanged in the short term, the sustainable development of the coal industry is still serving as one of the foundations for the sound development of the national economy. The construction of modernized mines based on 'four orientations', that is, orientations of scale production, modern technology and equipment, informationized management and professional working team, has been rapidly enhancing its development in the recent decade. However, in the next decade or an even longer period, the industry, with the energy centre shifting to the West of China, will be exposed to new options and development in the layout, structure, model, technology, etc.
