The MAAPPS process uses a microbial surfactant which selectively increases the hydrophilicity of ash and pyrite, thereby enhancing separation and ...
Several industrial activities often result in the emissions of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane (a principal component of natural gas). In order to mitigate the effects of these greenhouse gases, CO2 can be captured, stored and utilized for the dry reforming of methane. Various CO2 capture techniques have been investigated in the past decades. This study investigated the ...
A Kentucky coal sample treated by microwave irradiation (MI) combined with sodium hydroxide solution was performed using a thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA) coupled to a Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR).

In this paper, the synergistic effects, environmental and economic benefits of cotreating lignocellulosic biomass and fossilbased feedstocks such as low grade coal and polyvinylchloride (PVC) were critically assessed.
The process can also be useful for treatment of taste and odor issues. The effectiveness of the process depends on the UV dose, chemical dose (in advanced oxidation), contact time, concentration of the target contaminants, and other water quality parameters (, UV transmittance, presence of radical scavengers).
Owing to the complexity and heterogeneity of coal during pyrolysis, the ex situ analytical techniques cannot accurately reflect the real coal pyrolysis process. In this study, according to the joint investigation of Fouriertransform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and Xray diffraction (XRD), the structural evolution characteristics of lignitesubbituminous coalbituminous coalanthracite series ...
The process is reported to be carried out in two steps a lowtemperature treatment of the coal, followed by briquetting and further processing of the briquet. ... Tar in 40 to 50gallon amounts per ton of coal and the combination of decomposition products from natural gas and coal yield 18,000 to 20,000 cubic feet of "reactor gas ...
Coal is a black or brownishblack sedimentary rock that can be burned for fuel and used to generate is composed mostly of carbon and hydrocarbons, which contain energy that can be released through combustion (burning). Coal is the largest source of energy for generating electricity in the world, and the most abundant fossil fuel in the United States.
Section snippets Phenol and ammonia recovery process. Phenol's and ammonia recovery process is a key part of the CGW treatment, this process effectively removes acid gases such as H 2 S and CO 2, in turn recycling the valuable resource, such as ammonia and phenol, making the quality of the effluent to meet the requirement for biological and ammonia are the main pollutants in ...
In CCA treatment, copper is the primary fungicide, arsenic is a secondary fungicide and an insecticide, and chromium is a fixative which also provides ultraviolet (UV) light resistance. Recognized for the greenish tint it imparts to timber, CCA is a preservative that was very common for many decades. In the pressure treatment process, an aqueous solution of CCA is applied using a vacuum and ...
Coal seam gas (CSG) is a growing industry in Queensland and represents a potential major employer and deliverer of financial prosperity for years to come. CSG is a natural gas composed primarily of methane and is found trapped underground in coal beds. During the gas extraction process, significant volumes of associated water are also produced.
Production of natural gas from coal seams In coal seams, natural gas and water are stored in the cleats (fractures) that naturally occur in coal. However, the majority of the gas is adsorbed in the coal matrix. The gas is held in place by confining pressure from the overlying rock, and groundwater (hydrostatic pressure). When recovering ...
The coal chemical wastewater treatment mainly includes three parts: physical and chemical pretreatment, biological treatment, and advanced treatment. Due to the high concentration of phenols, NH3 N, and oils in coal chemical wastewater. If the wastewater enters the biological treatment system directly, high concentrations of phenols and NH 3 ...
In many localities, the liquid that drains from coal stocks, coal handling facilities, coal washeries, and coal waste tips can be highly acidic, and in such cases it is treated as acid rock drainage. This liquid often contains highly toxic metals, such as copper or iron.

Rank refers to steps in a slow, natural process called "coalification," during which buried plant matter changes into an ever denser, drier, more carbonrich, and harder material. The four ranks are: Anthracite: The highest rank of coal.
Hydraulic fracturing is a technique used in "unconventional" gas production. "Unconventional" reservoirs can costeffectively produce gas only by using a special stimulation technique, like hydraulic fracturing, or other special recovery process and technology. This is often because the gas is highly dispersed in the rock, rather than occurring ...
