The microporous MOF-74(Ni) was impregnated on mesoporous γ-Al2O3 beads leading to successful formation of a hierarchical multiporous composite MOF-74(Ni)@γ-Al2O3 containing 10 wt% MOF-74(Ni) via solvothermal method. The confinement effect introduced by the ch...

Understanding the unusual fluidity characteristics of high ash Indian bituminous coals

10.1016/j.fuproc.2018.04.003

2018-04-10

High-temperature rheometry and 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) are two complementary techniques that have been used to investigate fluidity development quantitatively in the <53 μm and 53–212 μm size fractions of high ash Indian non-coking coals and impor...

Experimental study on thermo-responsive inhibitors inhibiting coal spontaneous combustion

10.1016/j.fuproc.2018.03.019

2018-04-09

Due to its strong fluidity and easy evaporation characteristic, high water-cut physical inhibitors (HWPIs) cause the decrease in moisture content of coal, so that its inhibitory effect on coal spontaneous combustion weakens or even fails. Aiming at solving th...

Froth flotation has been used successfully over the last century for the beneficiation of coal and mineral particles. However, the process has been affected by certain restrictions relating to the rate at which the bubble/particle concentrate segregates from ...

Using two-zone fluidized bed reactor in propane aromatization over Zn/HZSM-5 catalyst

10.1016/j.fuproc.2018.03.020

2018-04-04

Propane conversion to aromatics was carried out in a two-zone fluidized bed reactor (TZFBR) over Zn/HZSM-5 catalyst. At the steady state condition the coke formation in the TZFBR was counteracted with continuous catalyst regeneration by oxygen. In the lower p...

Further exploring on aqueous chemistry of micron-sized lignite particles in lignite–water slurry: Effects of humics adsorption
