Objectives
Outcomes
Objectives
- Investigation of the combustion characteristics of two different coals with varying volatile matter contents
- Characterisation of the samples prior to and after combustion reactions using different techniques
Outcomes
- Complex interactions seen during combustion process owing to nature of ash content within the coals in addition to effect of volatile matter content
- Increased understanding of process can aid in optimising coal selection and combustion processes in industrial settings, and enhance the environmental sustainability of the steelmaking and cokemaking processes
