METHOD FOR CONDUCTING A HYDROTHERMAL CARBONIZATION REACTION

During hydrothermal carbonization, biomass is converted to biocoal. The reaction yield depends on the reaction conditions, including duration of the carbonization reaction or time period within which the slurry composed of water and biomass remains in the reaction tank and is exposed to pressure and temperature.

Method of charging coke oven with coal

A bottom-heated coking oven is filled with coal by a method in which the coal outside the oven is dumped on to a base plate at uniform height and then compacted, the plate and compacted coal cake being pushed into the oven chamber. The plate is then removed. The coal cake is 500-1000 (600-800) mm high. Also claimed is an operating machine, which can be moved along a row of adjacent coking ovens, having a base plate (3) of the dimensions of the oven base which forms a shallow and large-area coal filling and compaction chamber with side walls (9, 10) and front and rear side walls. When the coal is charged into the oven chamber, the rear end wall and the base can be moved in the longitudinal direction jointly with the base plate.

Process and device for producing horizontally tamped coal cakes

A process and device are disclosed for producing horizontally tamped coal cakes for coking in the oven chamber of a coking oven, the coal cakes being formed in a compression mould by stationary compression tools which work in the horizontal direction and with a stroke having a strictly limited length. The compression mould has a sliding stop wall which is moved away from the compression tools as the coal cake grows, under the effect of a suitable antagonistic braking force.

Coking coal compacting - by projection into mould through blades of centrifugal impellers, reduces machine stresses

A fine-grained coal blend which is to be used for charging coke ovens is compressed by transferring the coal blend from a continuous conveyor to one or more impellers, each with one or more blades. The impellers revolve opposite to the direction of free fall of the coal particles so that they are compacted into clumps. The centrifugal force accelerates the clumps and projects them into a compression mould, thus effecting a further compression by impact. Several impellers can be arranged on the same drive shaft, or several shafts, each with one or more impellers, can be arranged in parallel one after another. This method produces much less noise than the conventional stamping system. It results in less high stresses for the machine and mould use for the compaction; large quantities of a coal blend can be compressed in a very short time.
