Waste Coal Transformed into Eco-Friendly Fuel, Reducing Environmental Impact
The study focuses on using waste coal fines from mining operations to create a coal-water slurry fuel. By blending clean coal with recovered waste coal, a fuel with desired combustion properties can be produced. The coal-water slurry is made with 60% solids, low viscosity, and specific particle size. The research details the chemical makeup of the recovered coal fines, clean coal, slurry fuel, and resulting ash deposits.
