This paper reviews the application of microwave energy in coal processing and utilisation. It
brings together all of the published work on the microwave treatment of coal. The majority of …

Pyrolysis conditions greatly affect the structure-reactivity relationship of char during coal
gasification. This work investigated the effect of temperature and microwave heating on the …

Microwave-Assisted Pyrolysis (MAP) is a highly scalable process that has the potential to
realize the Distributed Biomass Energy Production System (DBEPS) concept. This study was …

Coal samples from concentrate of Shahroud coal preparation plant with an ash content of
13.8% and a total sulfur content of 1.89%, without pretreatment and also with pretreatment …

Many kinds of desulfurization reaction can be efficiently enhanced by 2450 MHz frequency
microwave irradiation. Yet little experimental work on 915 MHz frequency microwave has …

The effects of microwave receptor to coal (receptor/coal) ratio and the period of heating by
microwave energy on the solubilization of Turkish coals in tetralin have been investigated …

This work investigates the structural characteristics and graphitizability of tars obtained from
thermal pyrolysis versus the reactive microwave (MW) plasma pyrolysis of coals. Powder …

To produce ashless coal extracts, three Turkish coals were extracted with N-methyl-2-
pyrrolidinone (NMP), NMP/ethylenediamine (EDA)(17/1, vol/vol) mixture and NMP/tetralin …

Microwave-assisted hydroconversions of demineralized coal liquefaction residues (DCLRs)
from Shenfu (SF) and Shengli coals were investigated using methanol or ethanol as the …

Oil agglomeration of Sivas–Divriği (S–D) Uluçayır lignite fines was carried out using
kerosene and kerosene–extract oil (which was obtained from lignite treated with microwave …
