This research focuses on the co-firing of low-quality coal with refuse derived fuel (RDF) as a
means to reduce the volume of waste dumped in landfill sites. The co-combustion behaviour …

In this study, the South African partially oxidized fine-coal reject (FCR), which is associated
with human health and environmental problems and sustains high disposal expenses, was …

Coal gasification fine slag (CGFS) is one of the by-products of coal gasification process,
which is mainly composed of inorganic minerals and residual carbon. The key to realize the …

Thermochemical processes use low-rank bituminous coal to produce steam and synthetic
gas. Caking coal particles can soften, swell, and coalesce in the South African boilers and …

Fine coal reject samples (FCRs) derived from the South African (SA) feed-coal preparation
are unsuitable for gasification/combustion. In this novel investigation, two SA FCRs were …

South African coal discards derived from feed coal for thermoprocesses pose human health
and environmental problems and incur high disposal costs. These issues need to be …

Large coal agglomerates (cakes), which form in slow heating fixed-bed commercial
gasifiers, result in low carbon efficiency and carbon loss in the ash assemblage. In an earlier …

The main objective of this work is to relate the coalescence of inherent minerals and the
fragmentation of extraneous minerals to the slagging propensities of South African …

Coal properties that are associated with wear and damage of grinding equipment during
pulverization prior to combustion were investigated. A South African Highveld feed coal and …

The lighter density (< 1.5 g/cm3) fractions produced from two waste coals sampled from the
waste coal disposal sites at thermochemical plants situated in South Africa were used as …
