The study of the process of physic-chemical destruction of coal by the method of physical modeling

Abstract

One of the possible ways of physic-chemical destruction (PCD) of coal was considered. It is established that condition of the realization of a principle possibility of spontaneous dispersion of coal is to reduce its surface energy by 40-60 J/m2. Laboratory experiments to study the PCD of coal in different liquids were conducted. According to the results, kinetic curves of swelling coal in them transition D-G stamps is presents. It was established that the most intensive physical and chemical destruction of the coal to a particle size from tenths to tens of millimeters occurs in solutions of methylamine and hydrochloric acid. The most severe swelling of the coal was noted in those environment as well. The intensity of swelling is not significantly associated with the characteristics of wetting. The influence of various effects on the PCD parameters of coal was studied by physical simulation. The total time the chemical destruction of coal on the treated area was calculated. It was proposed method PCD for coals occurring in the clay rocks of various stages of catagenesis.
