Abstract

Experiments were carried out to produce upgraded coals with low moisture content by steam drying method. An Indonesian low rank coal, Berau coal with moisture content of 16.13% and calorific value of 5324 cal/g in air dried basis (adb) was treated by steam drying at temperature of 225 - 300°C in an autoclave to study process temperature effect. The results of proximate and ultimate analyses show that moisture content decrease by increasing the temperature process. The moisture content reduces to 0.86% and the calorific value increases up to 6760 cal/g in adb when the coal has been treated at the temperature of 300°C. Furthermore, the specific surface area and combustion characteristics of coals were influenced by the upgrading process.

Abstract

Rank and type variations of the Ombilin coals were studied by petrographic examination of thirty-six samples. The coals are mainly dominated by vitrinite and rare exinite, inertinite and mineral matter.  Vitrinite macerals are dominated by detro- and telovitrinite. Cutinite, liptodetrinite and suberinite are the dominant exinite macerals in the coals. Inertinite macerals in the coals include sclerotinite, inertodetrinite and semifusinite. Mineral matter is rare in the coals consisting of clay and pyrite. The type differences largely reflect climatic influence and differences in peat conditions. The higher vitrinite reflectance of some of the coals is a result of igneous intrusion. The thermally affected coal has vitrinite reflectances between 3.39% and 4.69% indi- cating a coalification stage of anthracite; whereas the thermally unaffected coal is between 0.55% and 0.77% with ranks of sub-bituminous to high volatile bituminous, as classified by the Australian classifica- tion. The thermal effect has also an impact to the vitrinite content in the coals. The thermally affected coals contain 86-99% vitrinite, whereas the thermally unaffected coals contain 80-96% vitrinite. This is because in the thermally affected coals, exinite cannot be distinguished from vitrinite, and it appears to contain high proportion of vitrinite.
