Lower quality coal such as sub-bituminous or brown coal can be refined to remove moisture and other impurities. This increases the efficiency of the coal as a fuel and reduces emissions of greenhouse gases and other pollutants, when the coal is burned. In Victoria the brown coal is upgraded by the Coldry Process.
In laboratory scale equipment and pilot plants, a dewatering process for brown coal was tested without evaporation by steam heating it under high pressure. A clear relationship between this natural-coalification-like alteration of coal quality and the quantity of removed water was determined. The pilot plant consisted of four autoclaves.
Abstract. Coal is the most abundant fossil fuel and about 42 % of the world electricity is generated through coal fired power stations. However, mechanized mining has led to an increase in the quantity of fine coal production. The value of the fine coal necessitated the selection of the correct equipment for the gravity beneficiation of this …
3.2.2. Coal Use. Around 65 % of the world coal production is used for electric power generation, compared to 27 % for other industrial uses, which include steel production [5]. On average coal supplies more than 40 % of the electricity worldwide, while in some countries this number is much higher.
The cost of purchasing mining equipment for coal production varies based on the type of equipment and the scale of operations. For example, a large-scale surface mine may require expensive machinery such as draglines, shovels, and trucks that can cost upwards of $300 million to purchase and maintain over a 20-year period.
