Nov 12, 2014· Thermal upgrading is a promising way to use lignite efficiently and safely. However, moisture readsorption properties of the upgraded lignite would partially offset the upgrading effect. Asphalt is so repellent that it could be used as an additive in lignite thermal upgrading to prevent moisture readsorption of upgraded lignite. In this study, a Chinese lignite upgraded at various …
Apr 28, 2020· Low temperature (i.e., <200 °C) chemical and/or physical processes in fossil fuels result in the accumulation of heat, which thereby leads to spontaneous combustion …
Spontaneous combustion has become a critical limiting factor for the safe and efficient utilization of low rank coals. In this work, the alkali-oxygen oxidation (AOO) of Chinese Shengli lignite was conducted to inhibit the spontaneous combustion tendency, and the influences of AOO on the structures and combustion properties were investigated.
A mathematical model for spontaneous combustion of coal has been developed that takes into consideration the moisture content of coal. The one-dimensional non-steady-state model consists of conservation equations for oxygen, water vapour, inherent moisture of the coal, and energy for both gaseous and solid phases.
The spontaneous ignition that occurs with upgraded lignite products is a concern for its storage, handling, and transportation. The Basket testing method and Oxidation Kinetics testing method were used to identify the propensity for upgraded lignite products to spontaneously ignite. The evaluation index for the Basket testing method was spontaneous ignition temperatures and duration. The ...
Jul 20, 2018· Drying Technologies of Lignite Coals. Coals are generally ranked as anthracite, bituminous, sub-bituminous, and lignite, with anthracite being the oldest and lignite the youngest in the age. As coal ages, its moisture content decreases and heating value increases. The lignite coal is often being referred to as brown coal.
Dec 29, 2016· Lignite has a high content of volatile matter, which makes it easier to convert into gas and liquid petroleum products than higher-ranking coals. Unfortunately, its high moisture content and susceptibility to spontaneous combustion can cause problems in transportation and storage.
Lots of studies have been conducted to investigate the influence of water content in lignite (WCL) on its utilization, such as the risk of spontaneous combustion during transportation and storage ...
Self-oxidation of coals can result in spontaneous combustion events at any time during mining, transporting, or processing, causing environmental, economical, and safety concerns. The total global primary coal production as of 2012 was 8.7 billion tons.
Lignite has a high content of volatile matter which makes it easier to convert into gas and liquid petroleum products than higher-ranking coals. Unfortunately, its high moisture content and susceptibility to spontaneous combustion can cause problems in transportation and storage.
Soon, as the heating rate increases in intensity to about 750-800 degrees F, incipient combustion, and ultimately self-ignition and flame, will occur. Spontaneous combustion has long been recognized as a fire hazard in stored coal. Spontaneous combustion …
Jan 12, 2020· Lignite has a high content of volatile matter which makes it easier to convert into gas and liquid petroleum products than higher-ranking coals. Unfortunately, its high moisture content and susceptibility to spontaneous combustion can cause problems in transportation and storage.
2. The minimum ambient temperature required for ignition increases for smaller sample sizes, for samples containing lignite char, for wet samples, for samples not enclosed in bags, and for partially filled bags. 4. Spontaneous combustion of bagged charcoal briquets in commercially available sizes is impossible under any normal ambient conditions."
Nov 03, 2014· Spontaneous combustion of coal 1. SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION Dr. D. P. Mishra Department of Mining Engineering Indian School of Mines University, Dhanbad 2. •The process of self heating of coal or other carbonaceous material due to auto oxidation resulting eventually in its ignition is termed as "spontaneous heating".
Spontaneous combustion or spontaneous ignition is a type of combustion which occurs by self-heating (increase in temperature due to exothermic internal reactions), followed by thermal runaway (self heating which rapidly accelerates to high temperatures) and finally, autoignition.
Lignite has a high content of volatile matter which makes it easier to convert into gas and liquid petroleum products than higher-ranking coals. Unfortunately, its high moisture content and susceptibility to spontaneous combustion can cause problems in transportation and storage.
The low-rank coal, such as sub-bituminous and lignite has become a widely used alternative fuel for power generation. During the transportation process from mining location to power plant, coal on the barge might be stored for a long period of time. A control mechanism of spontaneous combustion of coal in barge was simulated in laboratory scale by means of submersing heat exchanger inside the ...
The increasing demand of lignite in the power sector has led to a renewed interest to study the possibilities of spontaneous combustion behavior. Bulk storage of lignite with unknown histories of their proneness to self-ignition phenomena has become a concern in their selection.
Lignite often has a high volatile materials and moisture content. Because of spontaneous combustion issues, transportation and storage issues become problematic. Also, due to its low energy characteristics, it is not cost effective to transport long distances and is therefore often burned in power stations located nearby.
Lignite is also prone to spontaneous combustion. Additionally, lignite has a low calorific value, which means that transporting it over any significant distance is uneconomical in comparison to ...
Spontaneous ignition and combustion of coal are major problems not only for actual mining of coal but also for its transportation and for industrial users. Most coals are prone to spontaneous combustion, but their susceptibility to ignition increases as the coal rank decreases.
The liability of spontaneous combustion of this lignite was increased with decreasing particle size, increasing moisture content of the coal and decreasing humidity of the air. View Show abstract
Apr 11, 2012· Spontaneous combustion of coal is a well-known phenomenon, especially with PRB coal. This high-moisture, highly volatile sub-bituminous coal will not only smolder and catch fire while in storage piles at power plants and coal terminals, but has been known to be delivered to a power plant with the rail car or barge partially on fire…
