Thinking of the hidden quantity of coal in our country, the utilization of the lower class coal is the most importance.
Because there are about 30, 000, 000 tons of the lower class coal as byproduct against 40, 000, 000 tons of refined coal a year.
Small part of lower class coal is used by the special selection, but the great part of its prime cost is occupied by the minning and treating cost.
Hitherto, to utilize lower class coal, the studies have been aimed at it organic components.
In this studies the authors payed their attention to its inorganic substance (ash).
For this reason they tried to make higher class silicated calcareous manure and to gasify coals completely.
Lower class coal of Ube, Joban was used as sample.
They experimented how to get the SiO
2-CaO compound which had a large quantity of soluble silica to 2% citric acid and N/2 hydrochloric acid, how SiO
2 and CaO are combined and etc,
Consequently, they got the following most suitable condition, CaO/SiO
2 was 1.2, the treated temperature was 1, 200-4, 250°C, and deduced that the SiO
2-CaO compound would be Ca3Si2O7.
By a small scale pilot plant they got the slag of SiO
2-CaO compound, which had no carbon, as by product of perfect gasification.
About the composition of produced gas, they could not know exactly, but could deduce to be able to control the composition of gas by controling the suppling of O
2 and steam, and circulation of gas.
