Coal transfer

Metal profiles for two sediment cores from the Elizabeth River, VA, USA. Land use along the shores adjacent to collection site PC-1 (Paradise Creek) is primarily industrial and includes oil terminals, shipyard installations, coal transfer facilities, petroleum distribution and shipment operations, and wood treatment facilities. It has been identified as a toxic hot spot by the U.S. EPA. Land-use adjacent to WB-2 (Western Branch) is primarily residential. Excess lopb and profiles for (a) PC-1 and (b) WB-2 profiles. These were used to determine accumulation rates (1.1 to 2.3cm/y at PC-1 and <0.5cm/y at WB-2). Trace metal enrichment factor profiles (see Eq. 28.1 in text) are presented in profiles (c-g) in groups determined by the depth and shape of their concentration peaks. Source From Conrad, C. R, et al. (2007). Marine Pollution Bulletin 54, 385-395. [Pg.815]

The alloy shown in Table 10 7 is sometimes called 15/3 Chrome/Moly Iron, or 16% chrome. It is a martensitic white iron of moderate erosion resistance. It is used for the casting of pumps for a number of applications such as carbon in pulp circuits, coal transfer pumps, sewage treatment, and some newspaper recycling pumps. [Pg.519]

Using tire chips greater in size than about 25 mm in cyclone boilers has resulted in plugging hammer mills, coal transfer chutes, etc. even in small cofiring amounts. Therefore, the TDF should be introduced after the hammer mills as the coal is proceeding directly to the bunkers. [Pg.259]

Adsorption. Adsorption involves the transfer of a component onto a solid surface. An example is the adsorption of organic vapors by activated carbon. Activated carbon is a highly porous form of carbon manufactured from a variety of carbonaceous raw materials such as coal or wood. The adsorbent may need to be... [Pg.108]

Ga.s-to-Pa.rticle Heat Transfer. Heat transfer between gas and particles is rapid because of the enormous particle surface area available. A Group A particle in a fluidized bed can be considered to have a uniform internal temperature. For Group B particles, particle temperature gradients occur in processes where rapid heat transfer occurs, such as in coal combustion. [Pg.77]

Hot product char carries heat into the entrained bed to obtain the high heat-transfer rates required. Feed coal must be dried and pulverized. A portion of the char recovered from the reactor product stream is cooled and discharged as product. The remainder is reheated to 650—870°C in a char heater blown with air. Gases from the reactor are cooled and scmbbed free of product tar. Hydrogen sulfide is removed from the gas, and a portion is recycled to serve as the entrainment medium. [Pg.94]

The high lead slag from the smelting furnace is tapped continuously and transferred down a heated launder directly into the reduction furnace through a port in the side of the vessel. Lump coal for reduction is fed continuously to the furnace by conveyor and dropped direcdy into the bath. Heating for the endothermic reduction reactions is provided by oil injected down the lance. The combustion air stoichiometry is set at 95% of that required for complete oil combustion. Air is injected into the top of the furnace to afterbum the volatile materials from the coal and provide additional heat to the top of the furnace. Reduction temperatures range from 1170 to 1200°C to maintain slag duidity. [Pg.41]

When magnesium oxide is chlorinated in the presence of powdered coke or coal (qv), anhydrous magnesium chloride is formed. In the production of magnesium metal, briquettes containing CaCl2, KCl, NaCl, MgO, and carbon are chlorinated at a temperature such that the electrolyte or cell melt collects at the bottom of the chlorinator, enabling the Hquid to be transferred directly to the electrolytic cells. [Pg.343]

Methyl- and dimethylnaphthalenes are contained in coke-oven tar and in certain petroleum fractions in significant amounts. A typical high temperature coke-oven coal tar, for example, contains ca 3 wt % of combined methyl- and dimethylnaphthalenes (6). In the United States, separation of individual isomers is seldom attempted instead a methylnaphtha1 ene-rich fraction is produced for commercial purposes. Such mixtures are used for solvents for pesticides, sulfur, and various aromatic compounds. They also can be used as low freezing, stable heat-transfer fluids. Mixtures that are rich in monomethyinaphthalene content have been used as dye carriers (qv) for color intensification in the dyeing of synthetic fibers, eg, polyester. They also are used as the feedstock to make naphthalene in dealkylation processes. PhthaUc anhydride also can be made from m ethyl n aph th al en e mixtures by an oxidation process that is similar to that used for naphthalene. [Pg.487]

The zinc is normally melted in a gas, oU, or coal-fired reverberatory furnace with a capacity up to 100 tons or in a low frequency induction furnace with a capacity of a few tons. The more highly aUoyed compositions are more effectively melted and mixed in low frequency induction furnaces. The furnace must be refractory-lined to eliminate iron pickup by the molten metal. The metal temperature is maintained below 500°C to minimize loss by oxidation. A ladle is used to transfer the metal for casting into molds the pouring temperature is usuaUy ca 440°C. Zinc scrap is not generaUy suitable for remelting because it may contain undesirable impurities. [Pg.414]

The U.S. Department of Energy has funded a research program to develop the Hquid-phase methanol process (LPMEOH) (33). This process utilizes a catalyst such as copper—zinc oxide suspended in a hydrocarbon oil. The Hquid phase is used as a heat-transfer medium and allows the reaction to be conducted at higher conversions than conventional reactor designs. In addition, the use of the LPMEOH process allows the use of a coal-derived, CO-rich synthesis gas. Typical reactor conditions for this process are 3.5—6.3 MPa (35—60 atm) and 473—563 K (see Methanol). [Pg.51]

Physical Properties. Most of the physical properties discussed herein depend on the direction of measurement as compared to the bedding plane of the coal. Additionally, these properties vary according to the history of the piece of coal. Properties also vary between pieces because of coal s britde nature and the crack and pore stmcture. One example concerns electrical conductivity. Absolute values of coal sample specific conductivity are not easy to determine. A more characteristic value is the energy gap for transfer of electrons between molecules, which is deterrnined by a series of measurements over a range of temperatures and is unaffected by the presence of cracks. The velocity of sound is also dependent on continuity in the coal. [Pg.221]

FluidiZed-Bed Combustion. Fluidized-bed combustors are able to bum coal particles effectively in the range of 1.5 mm to 6 mm in size, which are floating in place in an expanded bed (40). Coal and limestone for SO2 capture can be fed to the combustion zone, and ash can be removed from it, by pneumatic transfer. Very Htfle precombustion processing is needed to prepare either the coal or the sorbent for entry into the furnace (41). [Pg.259]

SNR s fluidized-bed cogeneiation system is an early example of the commercial development of AFBC technology. Foster Wheeler designed, fabricated, and erected the coal-fired AFBC/boHer, which generates 6.6 MWe and 37 MW thermal (also denoted as MWt) of heat energy. The thermal energy is transferred via medium-pressure hot water to satisfy the heat demand of the tank farm. The unit bums 6.4 t/h of coal and uses a calcium to sulfur mole ratio of 3 to set the limestone feed rate. The spent bed material may be reiajected iato the bed as needed to maintain or build bed iaventory. The fly ash, collected ia two multicyclone mechanical collectors, may also be transferred pneumatically back to the combustor to iacrease the carbon bumup efficiency from 93%, without fly ash reiajection, to 98%. [Pg.260]

In ECS s 1986 repowefing project Babcock and Wilcox (B W) constmcted a bubbling-bed section to ECS s existing 125 MWe pulverized-coal furnace to produce 31.3 t/h of lime, usiag cmshed coal as the source of heat to calciae limestone ia the fluidized bed. A portion of the lime is drawn from the bed as bottom ash and a portion is collected as fly ash. Both portions are transferred to a cement (qv) plant adjacent to the boiler. The hot flue gas from the EBC flows iato the existing main pulverized-coal furnace, ia which a B W LIMB system was also iastaHed to absorb sulfur dioxide dufing those times when the EBC is not operating. [Pg.260]

The modeling of fluidized beds remains a difficult problem since the usual assumptions made for the heat and mass transfer processes in coal combustion in stagnant air are no longer vaUd. Furthermore, the prediction of bubble behavior, generation, growth, coalescence, stabiUty, and interaction with heat exchange tubes, as well as attrition and elutriation of particles, are not well understood and much more research needs to be done. Good reviews on various aspects of fluidized-bed combustion appear in References 121 and 122 (Table 2). [Pg.527]
