Coal plasticity

Compo (1987) also investigated the effect of temperature on the velocity required to prevent defluidization for (i) materials which agglomerated rapidly after their sintering temperature (Ts) was reached (coal, plastics, etc.), and (ii) materials which agglomerated slowly after reaching Ts (calcium chloride, etc.) For the rapidly agglomerating materials, the gas velocity had to be increased rapidly to prevent defluidization after Ts was reached. For the weakly agglomerating materials, a much smaller increase in gas velocity was required to prevent defluidization after Ts was reached.

From an economic point of view, used plastic can be considered as both an important source of valuable chemicals, mainly hydrocarbons, and an energy source. The calorific value of most plastics is similar to that of fuel oils and higher than that of coals. Plastic wastes can therefore be viewed as potential fuels, when other alternatives of valorization are not possible.9...

Piston extruders are used in the foodstuffs industry, notably in the production of pasta, and are also employed for the shaping of aluminium profiles, wrought copper alloys and steel, for the extrusion and de-watering of sewage sludge, for the extrusion of hard metal, graphite, coal, plastics, etc.

In tenns of the physicochemical behavior of coal during the liquefaction process, some mention must also be made of the phenomenon of coal plasticity (Chapter 9). Plasticity is particularly evident in coals of the bituminous rank during the plastic condition (which usually occurs in the tanperature range 325°C-350°C [615 -660 ]), the plastic mass has a tendency to adhere quite strongly to a variety of surfaces. Thus, reactor plugging could be a common result of the tendency of various coals to exhibit plastic behavior and there has been a considerable amount of effort directed to resolving this particular problem. 

The actual physics and chemistry of coal plasticity are not well understood and most theories conclude that the plastic state is the result of thermal rupture of chemical bonds that are responsible for the orientation of the coal units with respect to one another as well as the degeneration of a variety of physical bonds. However, neither the anthracites nor the lignites and subbituminous coals display well-defined plastic behavior, but subjecting the lower-rank coals to liquefaction temperatures in the presence of hydrogen may often induce some degree of plasticity with the resultant problems. 

Normally referred to as dust with a diameter of 420 microns or smaller and can be a fire or explosion hazard when it is dispersed in the proper concentration and ignited in the air or with any other available gaseons oxidizer. Each particular dust has its own flammability limits. Materials that may form comhustihle dust include metals (such as aluminum and magnesium), wood, coal, plastics, hiosohds, sugar, paper. 

Solid materials that can support an explosion include chemicals, pharmaceuticals, dyestuffs, coal, plastics, wood, foods, agricultural products, and metal powders. Dusts of these materials in air can be explosive, and diere are some substances that do not even need air (e.g., some metal powders in nitrogen or carbon dioxide).

OSHA has commenced rulemaking to develop a combustible dust standard for general industry. Combustible dust can cause catastrophic explosions like the 2008 disaster at a sugar refinery that killed 14 workers and seriously injured dozens more. Deadly combustible dust fires and explosions can be caused by a wide array of materials and processes in a large number of industries. Materials that may form combustible dust include wood, coal, plastics, spice, starch, flour, feed, grain, fertilizer, tobacco, paper, soap, rubber, drugs, dyes, certain textiles, and metals. While a number of OSHA standards address aspects of this hazard, the Agency does not have a comprehensive standard that addresses combustible dust.
