Analysis of Coal for Safe Producing Low Temperature Carbon Products

Abstract

Solid products of low temperature carbonization in comparison with coke have the higher reaction and adsorption capacity, are easier to undergo the subsequent activation and gasification. The low temperature coke can also act as a refined smokeless fuel for boiler plants and domestic ovens, an active carbonaceous reductant for the chemical and metallurgical industries. The results of Tugnuisky open pit (Buryatia) coal quality studies are given in this article. The parameters of the technical and elemental analysis of the feed coal were tested during the experiments. The low temperature carbonization of coal sample in retort was carried out to determine the yield of the low temperature carbonization products. The produced products were investigated according to the quality indicators in accordance with the requirements of the technical specifications.
