Dehydration is a necessary link for lignite upgrading, and evaporative dehydration is one of
the most effective dehydration technologies for lignite. Kinetics, as a fundamental …

This study aimed to determine the effects of different drying temperatures on the mechanical
properties of coal samples under axial compression. Processed, screened, and water …

Microwave pyrolysis is a promising technique for the clean and effective utilization of low-
rank coal, which has aroused widespread concern during the past decades. This paper …

This paper presents the heat treatment study on different lithotypes of coal using a custom
designed high-temperature thermal nitrogen immersion experimental setup. The results …

Research on electric pulse fracturing technology has led to significant advances in the field
of coal mine fracturing and permeability enhancement. However, few studies have focused …

Lignite fragmentation during drying can significantly impair the operation of a drying system.
Volume shrinkage is the main factor that causes lignite fragmentation during low …

Liquid nitrogen (LN 2) freezing has widely been studied for the production of coal-bed
methane (CBM) in coal reservoirs, but there is little study involving the thawing process. In …

The structure of lignite is affected by fragmentation and pulverization during drying, which
can reduce the safety and continuity of both drying and coal quality improvement processes …

Microwave non-thermal effects are controversial and its effects on lignite microwave drying
remain blank. The lignite drying characteristics in shielded microwave drying (SMD) and …

Abstract Liquid nitrogen (LN 2) fracturing, an effective method in stimulating reservoirs,
contains freezing and thawing. In general, frozen rocks are air-thawed in past studies …
