The prediction of the fusibility of coal blends

Associations of physical, chemical with thermal changes during coking as coal heats – Experiments on coal maceral concentrates

“…A number of techniques have been previously employed to investigate individual events involved in the physical, chemical and thermal changes as coal heats, for instance, Gieseler Plastometer [10,11] and Proton Magnetic Resonance Thermal Analysis (PMRTA) [12,13] for measuring fusibility and Rheometry [14][15][16] for viscosity; crucible swelling [10] and Audibert-Arnu dilatometer [10,11] for evaluating swelling; Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA), Gas Chromatography (GC), Mass Spectrometry (MS), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) [9,[17][18][19][20][21][22] for analysing chemical changes; and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) [23][24][25] and Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA) [26] for estimating thermal changes.…”

Blending Coal on Coal

“…Gupta [41] provides several inferences concerning this phenomenon. Other researchers have found similar nonadditive or nonlinear behavior (see, for example, [11,16,[43][44][45][46][47][48][49]). Other researchers have found similar nonadditive or nonlinear behavior (see, for example, [11,16,[43][44][45][46][47][48][49]).…”

Relevance between Various Phenomena during Coking Coal Carbonization. Part 1: A New Testing Method Developed on a Sapozhnikov Plastometer

“…The different techniques for studying the various phenomena of carbonization were proposed. The best known measuring techniques in carbonization research are with small mass coals under homogeneous heating, briefly including the thermogravimetric analyzer for studying the decomposition, − the standard Gieseler plastometer, − the standard Audibert–Arnu dilatation test − for deriving the plasticity, under unidirectional heating as in a coke oven, including the standard Sapozhnikov plastometer − for determining the thickness of the plastic layer and expansion, and after shrinkage of coal, the patented Koppers–INCAR test − for determining the expansion and contraction of coal.…”
