The slurrying properties of slurry fuels made of petroleum coke and petrochemical sludge

The Review of Ignition and Combustion Processes for Water-Coal Fuels

“…Regarding to existing plans, the production of the WCF in China will grow up to 100 million tons per year at 2020 [1]. The significance of the WCF technologies development is highlighted by big amount of Chinese scientific papers devoted to investigations of WCF usage (for example, see [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]). Japan has switched from demo projects of 80-s to industrial usage of the WCF now, using significant basics of creation and usage of the water-coal fuels [10][11][12][13][14][15].…”

“…However, taking in account the real needs in usage of WCF, some countries with deficit of natural resources support research and development activities for improvement of water-coal technologies [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. As result, the systematization of any data about ignition and combustion processes is still of interest.…”

Integral Characteristics of Stability of Coal-Water Slurries and Coal-Water Slurries Containing Petrochemicals By Evaluation of Separation Into Layers

“…Currently quite a lot of experimental studies [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] on determining coal slurries stability using different methods for its assessment were carried out. The method of evaluation of separation (into layers) of the slurry [7][8][9][10], the method of penetration of the glass rod [11][12][13] and translucence method [14,15] are along the best known.…”

“…The method for evaluation of CWS stability, which is based on using glass (or metal) rod (diameter d=4-5 mm, mass m=20 g) [11][12][13] is consists in the following. The test fuel slurry is poured into a measuring cylinder and kept for 72 hours.…”
