A quantitative study is reported of the effect of oxidation on the caking propensity of bituminous coal. An empirical caking index is found to correlate well with a defined semiempirical oxidation parameter. The preferred oxidation temperature for decaking treatment was found to be about 200 °C, since the higher oxygen utilization at higher temperatures does not appreciably contribute to the desired effect.

This study deals with the preparation of a biomass conversion technology and cost data bank for the Biomass Energy Systems Branch (BES) of DOE/SOLAR. When completed, it may be used with an appropriate methodology to analyze the complex issues of research program planning and analysis. In addition, future market penetration of BES products may be projected, and the options available to the Federal Government to influence the outcome of BES.products marketing may also be examined.
