In this study, a new methodology was applied to estimate the coal moisture content during
the drying process. Adaptive-network-based fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) was applied to …

In this study, a Turkish lignite (the Konya-Ilgın lignite) was used to study its drying
characteristics in a fixed-bed dryer. The drying experiments were conducted with coarse …

In the present study, a new approach was utilized to investigate the fragmentation of low
rank coal during the thermal drying process. Drying experiments were conducted at different …

The fragmentation and pulverization properties of lignite in the different drying processes
were investigated in this study. Lignite particles were dried at different temperatures (100 …

In the present study, drying of Konya-Ilgn lignite (a Turkish lignite) was modelled by using
thin-layer drying models from the literature and a new empirical model. The required …

Coal drying is a quite important process from both burning efficiency and granulation
perspective. Therefore, coal drying experimentation processes always attract researchers …

A combined conventional and microwave drying process for Ximeng lignite was investigated
in this paper. Samples were firstly dehydrated by hot air to achieve a conversion moisture …

Drying of low rank coal is a very significant topic due to its high economic value. One of the
most important parameter in the designing of a dryer is the exiting moisture content of the …

This paper investigated the thermal fragmentation of three lignite samples with temperature
of 100 C–200 C and drying time of 0–90 min using the fixed bed reactor. The effects of a …

The experiments were performed to explore the effect of moisture on fragmentation
properties of Mengdong (MD) lignite, Xiao Longtan (XLT) lignite, and Zhaotong (ZT) lignite …
