How do you make coal water slurry fuel?
The production of coal-water slurry fuel involves the crushing of coal or coal sludge to particles between 10 and 65 micrometers diameter (standard crushers can be used); wet milling and homogenisation (with additives as required).
Why is coal used in boilers?
Using coal as fuel in order to create energy in the form of electricity and/or heat is very common in the world.
In which part the coal is crushed before feeding it to the boiler?
Pieces of coal are crushed between balls or cylindrical rollers that move between two tracks or “races.” The raw coal is then fed into the pulverizer along with air heated to about 650 °F (340 °C) from the boiler.
What is a slurry mixture?
Slurry refers to a liquid-solid fluid mixture with a specific gravity greater than 1. The liquid is usually water; however it could be any liquid. Due to this, vessels used to house or transport slurry are often prone to corrosion.
What is duff coal?
i. Fine dry coal (usually anthracite) obtained from a coal-preparation plant. The size range is 3/16 to 0 in (4.8 to 0 mm).
In what form is the coal used in boiler?
Explanation: The coal used for boiler is in powder form, in order to increase thermal efficiency. The different types of coal used in boiler are generally bituminous coal, brown coal and peat. Commonly bituminous coal is most preferred boiler fuel since it has volatile matter from 8 to 33% and ash content of 5 to 16 %.
What type of coal is used in boilers?
Bituminous coal
Bituminous coal is commonly used in power plant boilers for generation of electric power. Bituminous coal has a higher boiler heating value than either sub-bituminous or lignite, but less than that of anthracite.
How is coal slurry made?
Coal sludge, also known as slurry, is the liquid coal waste produced by mining activities. After mining, coal is crushed and washed to remove the surrounding soil and rock. The washing process generates huge amounts of liquid waste, and the mining process itself produces millions of tons of solid waste.
