Effect of pine sawdust on the behavior of arsenic and sulfur during slow heating pyrolysis of Shanxi Tuanbo-2 coal

Effect of pine sawdust on the removal of arsenic and sulfur during Shanxi Tuanbo-2 coal pyrolysis was investigated. Results showed that adding pine sawdust could increase the removals of arsenic and sulfur during Shanxi Tuanbo-2 coal pyrolysis, and when the ratio of the pine sawdust was 50%, the arsenic removal was the highest; at this ratio, the total sulfur removal also was the highest. Adding pine sawdust also increased pyritic sulfur and organic sulfur removal. Furthermore, results also indicated that adding pine sawdust made arsenic associated with sulfates and monosulfides and arsenic in stable forms escape more easily.     

Kinetic mobility and connectivity in nanopore networks

Experimental results for methane and carbon dioxide diffusion in coal, as reported in the literature, often lead to diffusion rates of CO₂ appearing to be much greater than that of CH₄. The interpretation sometimes offered that the diffusion coefficient for CO₂ is 1–2 orders of magnitude higher than that of CH₄, violates fundamental principles. Nevertheless, the experimental observations require explanation. In this article, we: (a) Develop simplified models for the fast estimation of transport coefficients. These are compared with comprehensive grand canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) and molecular dynamic (MD) simulations, collectively defined as molecular simulations (MS), which provide theoretical adsorption isotherms and various transport coefficients based on multicenter potential energy equations. The simplified models are shown to have acceptable accuracies. (b) Use the simplified models to compare diffusivities of CO₂ and CH₄ in carbon nanopores. For all cases examined, the diffusivity of CH₄ is always larger than that of CO₂. (c) Offer two explanations for the apparently contradictory experimental observations (that CO₂ sometimes appears to diffuse much faster than the CH₄ molecule, even though CH₄ is lighter and has smaller adsorption affinity): (i) CH₄ mobility could be significantly reduced by directional forces resulting from irregular pore geometries; and (ii) if pores contain throats with sizes close to the CH₄ molecular diameter, the energy barrier that the methane molecules must overcome to proceed through is much larger than that required for CO₂. (d) Demonstrate that both mobility and connectivity issues can be addressed using kinetic theory in association with percolation analysis. Furthermore, this method of understanding pore networks provides a number of important quantitative measures including percolation threshold, size of largest cluster, shortest path and tortuosity. Separating different transport mechanisms, as we propose here, provides improved insights into the complex transport phenomena that occur in carbonaceous porous media. In many cases, diffusivities reported in the literature with mixed mechanisms are better named “apparent transport coefficients,” because they lump in other unrelated phenomena, violating the fundamental basis of, or mathematical assumptions imposed on, the definition of diffusion. © 2011 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 2012

Effects of residual concentration of collector CTAC on flotation behavior of illite

ABSTRACT

In present study, illite flotation behavior with Cetyl Trimethyl Ammonium Chloride (CTAC) as the collector has been studied to investigate the effects of its residual concentration on froth stability and flotation. Results showed that, with increasing conditioning time, the residual concentration (frother concentration) and froth height decreased simultaneously, while the adsorbed amount (particle hydrophobicity) increased. Increasing CTAC conditioning time decreased the residual concentration in solutions, resulting in poor froth stability and flotation recovery at high pH; the adsorption rate of CTAC on illite surface was relatively high at higher pH due to strong electrostatic mechanism, making CTAC residual concentration decrease.     

Metrics to identify meaningful downscaling skill in WRF simulations of intense rainfall events

Dynamical downscaling attempts to provide regional detail to climate change projections that subsequently can be used as input to climate change impact models. However, unlike forecasts by numerical weather prediction models, downscaled projections cannot be tested for skill because the future of interest is decades away. Nevertheless, models can be tested in terms of how well they simulate current weather or climate, thus giving an indication of skill in representing the process of interest. Here, six configurations using different combinations of three microphysics and two planetary boundary layer schemes are assessed on their skill to simulate desired characteristics in daily rainfall fields from three two week simulations in southeast Australia; ‘desired’ meaning desirable in relation to the intended application. Of different metrics and analysis assessed, a metric based on variography analysis, summarising characteristics about spatial variability and dissimilarity, is shown to provide the most informative guidance relative to the desirable characteristics.

Thermodynamic evaluation of integrated gasification combined cycle: Comparison between high‐ash and low‐ash coals

In the present study, a coal‐integrated gasification combined cycle power plant is simulated. A high‐ash coal and low‐ash coal are considered to compare the performance of the plant. The combined cycle is in typical commercial size with 450 MW capacity. The feeds are Tabas and Illinois #6 coals which approximately contain more than 30% and 10% ash and have higher heating values of 22.7 MJ/kg and 26.8 MJ/kg, respectively. Energy and exergy analyses are done by aspen plus ^® and ees , respectively. Energy analysis shows that the overall efficiencies of power plants using high‐ash and low‐ash coals are 33% and 28%, respectively. The result shows that in high‐ash case, 52 kg/s coal, 10 kg/s water, and 1050 kg/s air and in low‐ash case, 48 kg/s coal and 820 kg/s air are required for providing mentioned power, approximately. Exergy analysis shows that maximum exergy destruction is in heat recovery steam generator unit. Investigating the emissions shows that high percent of ash in the coal composition has slight effects on the IGCC pollution. Finally, from thermodynamic viewpoint, it is concluded that the high‐ash coal, like the conventional one, can be used as thermally efficient and environmentally compatible feed of IGCCs.

Effect of pulp rheology on flotation of nickel sulphide ore with fibrous gangue particles

Abstract

Tests are carried out with suspensions of fibrous chrysotile particles and nickel sulphide ore containing chrysotile as a gangue. They corroborate published results, and indicate a very strong effect of particle shape on slurry rheology. Such suspensions exhibit time dependent properties. The flotation tests revealed that the viscosity of this system strongly affects flotation performance. At a solids concentration of 15–20% (w/w), the concentrate yield increases and the concentrate grade dramatically declines. This deterioration is observed when the Casson yield stress exceeds 1·5–2 Pa. The tests imply that the rheological properties of the investigated system are mainly determined by fibrous components. However, because of the presence of anisotropic mineral particles, the effect of particle–particle interactions cannot be separated from the effect of particle shape in this system.

On effectue des essais avec des suspensions de particules fibreuses de serpentine et de minerai de sulfure de nickel contenant de la serpentine comme gangue. Ces essais confirment les résultats publiés et indiquent un effet très prononcé de la forme des particules sur la rhéologie de la boue. De telles suspensions exhibent des propriétés dépendantes du temps. Les essais de flottation ont révélé que la viscosité de ce système affecte grandement le rendement de la flottation. À une concentration en solides de 15 à 20% (poids/poids), la production de concentré augmente et la qualité du concentré décline dramatiquement. Cette détérioration est observée lorsque la contrainte de Casson excède 1·5 à 2 Pa. Les essais impliquent que les propriétés rhéologiques du système étudié sont déterminées principalement par les composantes fibreuses. Cependant, à cause de la présence de particules minérales anisotropes, on ne peut pas séparer l’effet des interactions particule-particule de l’effet de la forme des particules dans ce système.
