In this paper, we report the CO 2, CH 4 and N 2 sorption properties of four bituminous coals from underground coal seams of South Africa at supercritical conditions, up to 16.4 MPa at 55 °C. Different isotherm models were studied and coal and gaseous adsorbate properties impacting the sorption properties of these coals were …
desirable to study the abrasive behaviour of the coals as this property may be as important with coal grinding operations as the grindability of the coal itself. The grindability and abrasive properties of a representative cross-section of South African coals have been determined using the Hardgrove grindability machine2
The chemical-structural properties of four South African bituminous coals were investigated using wide angle X-ray diffraction-carbon fraction analysis (WAXRD-CFA), attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), solid state 13 C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (ss 13 C NMR), and high resolution …
The mean percentages of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen and sulfur in coal samples was 66.20, 2.98, 1.15 and 1.11 confirming that it is of bituminous rank. The concentration levels of …
Chemical–structural properties of South African bituminous coals: insights from wide angle XRD–carbon fraction analysis, ATR–FTIR, solid state 13C NMR, and HRTEM …
1.. IntroductionCoal mining and processing operations inevitably result in large accumulations of fine coal (i.e. <. 1 mm), which constitute up to 12% of the annual Run of Mine (RoM) tonnage in South Africa. Although this material can be beneficiated efficiently using spirals, dense-medium cyclones and froth flotation, the products, particularly the …

For each case mentioned, the property of the bitumen change. It is found that the asphalt properties are more governed by the bitumen properties than in the case of macadam.

Bituminous coal was obtained from a local coal merchant in Port Elizabeth, South Africa. Algae was cultured by use of photo-bioreactors at Innoventon, Downstream Chemi-cals Technology Station, Nelson Mandela University (NMU), Port Elizabeth, South Africa. Blends of coal and microalgae were prepared by mixing a known amount of
specification and use of modified binders in South Africa. The classification of modified binders into various generic classes which are, to some extent, "polymer blind", is now firmly entrenched in the industry. Since that time the modification of bituminous binders has become an increasingly more dynamic field.
Between 2016 and 2020, South Africa reserves of anthracite and bituminous coal remained stable at around 9,893 million tons. An estimate of coal reserves, based on a demonstrated reserve base, adjusted for assumed accessibility and recovery factors, and does not include any specific economic feasibility criteria. In the United States, coals are …
In this work, the co-pyrolysis of coal and algae is explored with special emphasis on decomposition kinetics and the possibility of the existence of synergistic effects. Modelling and kinetics analysis based approaches were used for the investigation of the existence of synergistic effects. The co-pyrolysis kinetics was studied using the …
In this paper, we report the CO 2, CH 4 and N 2 sorption properties of four bituminous coals from underground coal seams of South Africa at supercritical …
As one of the most important primary energy, bituminous coal has been widely applied in many fields. The combustion studies of bituminous coal have attracted a lot of attention due to the releases of hazardous emissions. This work focuses on the investigation of combustion characteristics of Shenmu bituminous pulverized coal as a …
The use of underground coal gasification (UCG) technology to extract synthetic gas from coal, deemed to be uneconomical to mine could be another game changer for the South African economy, (similar to the potential of shale gas), through the optimised use of South Africa's coal resources and reserves to ensure national energy security.
AFRICA South Africa has approximately 242 billion gross tons in situ coal resources and reserves of which approximately 66 billion tons of coal resources and reserves are deemed to be recoverable. Twenty fi ve percent of this is uneconomical to mine by means of conventional mining methods due to the depth of the coal seams. The …
Coal Mining in South Africa. Coal mining's advent in South Africa can best be traced to the start of gold mining in the late 19 th century, particularly on the Witwatersrand, with the first coal in appreciable tonnages being extracted on the Highveld coal field close to the nascent Witwatersrand gold mines. However, demand began to grow ...
Chemical–structural properties of South African bituminous coals: Insights from wide angle XRD–carbon fraction analysis, ATR–FTIR, solid state 13C NMR, and …
Coal is a black or brownish-black sedimentary rock that can be burned for fuel and used to generate electricity.It is composed mostly of carbon and hydrocarbons, which contain energy that can be released through combustion (burning). Coal is the largest source of energy for generating electricity in the world, and the most abundant fossil fuel …
Coking as well as non-coking and bituminous as well as sub-bituminous coal are obtained from Gondwana coal fields. Anthracite is generally not found in the Gondwana coal fields. The volatile ...
The study confirms the coal in the present study as bituminous coal by analyzing the microstructure and composition of coal using scanning electron microscope and energy-dispersive X-ray ...
able whereby coal properties can be estimated from a number of simple tests. As a first step in this direction, this paper deals with an adaptation to South African conditions of a study reported some years ago by Humphreys and Lawrencel. In contrast to the classical work of Seyler2, whereby some properties are predicted from ultimate analyses,
Bituminous coal is the most common type coal used in the world for a variety of purposes. Owing to its relatively high heat value, low moisture content and its availability in abundance, bituminous coal has a wide number of commercial uses among all the types of coals. ... Properties. Bituminous coals are soft and completely opaque. They are ...
There are four major types (or "ranks") of coal. Rank refers to steps in a slow, natural process called "coalification," during which buried plant matter changes into an ever denser, drier, more carbon-rich, and harder material. The four ranks are:Anthracite: The highest rank of coal. It is a hard, brittle, and black lustrous coal, often referred to as hard coal, …
Globally, mining and combustion of fossil fuels, especially coal, have resulted in various environmental problems. The adverse effects of these industries on human health, agriculture and the ...
Between 2003 and 2022, South Africa production of lignite coal remained stable at around 0 thousand short tons. Lignite is the lowest rank of coal, often referred to as brown coal, used almost exclusively as fuel for steam-electric power generation. It is brownish-black and has a high inherent moisture content, sometimes as high as 45 percent The heat content …
Lacking in literature is the use of discard coal to produce activated carbon and in its subsequent use in the storage of natural gas. In this study, the characterization and gas storage evaluation of a largely porous activated carbon with large surface area synthesized from discard coal were investigated. Discard coals are waste material …
