Coking wastewater is used to prepare coal slurry, which can be used as combustion and gasification fuel. This promising technology simultaneously achieves resource utilization and wastewater management . Slurrying properties are essential to the industrial application of coal slurry. These properties are considerably influenced by coal surface properties and the adsorption of an additive by coal. In this study, the effects of the internal components (e.g., phenol, ammonia nitrogen, and metal ions) of coking wastewater on the adsorption of an additive by coal and on coal surface properties were measured. Results showed that the competitive adsorption between phenol and the additive reduced the amount of additive adsorbed on coal. However, phenol acted as an additive to improve the wettability of coal particles. Cations (Ca 2+ , NH 4 + , and Na + ) adversely affected the slurrying because they weakened the negative charges of coal. Furthermore, a large amount of water was adsorbed due to the ionic bonding effects, thereby reducing the free water in the coal slurry system. The maximum slurrying concentration of CWCS was 0.8 percentage points higher than that of CWS, suggesting that coking wastewater enhanced the slurrying capability of the coal slurry by integrating the various effects induced by the different internal components.

In this study, modified low rank coal water slurry (M-LRCWS) was prepared by using diesel modified low rank coal (LRC) and compared with low LRC water slurry (LRCWS) to investigate the slurry formation mechanism and combustion characteristics of coal water slurry. Meanwhile, the combustion kinetics of coal-water slurry was investigated using kinetic methods to probe the combustion reaction mechanism. The results showed that the slurry formation concentration of LRC was 70 %, while the slurry formation concentration of M-LRCWS was 72 %, which was an increase of 2 %. The diesel modification positively affected the stability of CWS. The comprehensive combustion characteristics index of the same slurry deteriorated with increasing heating rate. At the same heating rate, M-LRCWS has better combined combustion performance, higher flammability and more stable ignition performance. Combustion kinetics calculations showed that the reaction activation energies were 105.50 kJ/mol for M-LRCWS and 99.59 kJ/mol for LRCWS using the FWO method, and 93.48 kJ/mol for M-LRCWS and 92.68 kJ/mol for LRCWS using the Starink method. The activation energy of M-LRCWS is slightly higher than that of LRCWS, which indicates that the diesel fuel is encapsulated in the coal particles and it is difficult to activate the substance. As a result, the dispersion system is more stable and favorable for storage and transportation. The physical functions of LRCWS and M-LRCWS were calculated using the Achar differential equation and the Coats-Redfern integral equation, and the results showed that both LRCWS and M-LRCWS followed the tertiary reaction (F3) mechanism.

This study investigated the process and mechanism of synergistically assisted hydrogen production from tailings and coal slurry. We have identified the optimal tailings as lead-zinc tailings through experimentation with different tailings mixed with pulverized coal . Furthermore, we have analyzed the electrochemical properties of Fe 2+ and Fe 3+ at different concentration gradients in a hydrochloric acid environment and our results have confirmed that the presence of Fe 3+ in the simplified environment does not affect the electrochemical processes . to determine the respective roles and effects of the extract and residue of the lead-zinc tailings slurry with equal amounts of coal dust added to them, which has confirmed that it is the lead-zinc tailings extract that has the primary influence. In addition, the electrocatalysis of Fe 3+ in the presence of both lead-zinc tailings and coal results in a small increase in current density, and the improvement in current density due to direct and indirect oxidation of coal particles is also extremely limited. Based on our analysis, we have concluded that the increase in current density brought about by the synergistic hydrogen production from lead-zinc tailings-supported coal is mainly due to the different oxidation processes of Fe 2+ .

In this study, the slurry formation properties and multi-phase dispersion mechanism of hydrocarbon modified low-rank coal (LRC) were explored by combining experiments and simulations, aiming to provide some theoretical guidance for the slurrying of surface-modified LRC. The experimental results revealed that compared with the LRC water slurry (LRCWS), the consistency of the diesel modified low-rank coal water slurry (M−LRCWS) is decreased, the pseudo plasticity is enhanced, and the constant viscosity concentration is increased by 1.89 %. The results of XPS analysis indicated that the surface C/O of M−LRC increases from 5.67 (LRC) to 6.83, and the content of oxygen-containing groups decreases by 3.10 %, indicating that the surface non-polarity is enhanced. In molecular dynamics simulation, compared with the two dispersed systems of COAL/ Sodium poly[(naphthaleneformaldehyde) sulfonate] (MF)/H 2 O (CMW) and COAL/ Dodecane (DD)/MF/H 2 O (CDMW), the E bin of water molecules in both of systems is negative, indicating that water molecules are easy to combine with the coal surface. The absolute E bin of the CDMW system is 2612.56 kcal/mol lower than that of CMW. The adsorption force of coal molecules to water molecules is weakened, which leads to a decrease in the content of water molecules adsorbed on coal. The results show that the surface hydrophobicity of LRC modified by DD is enhanced, so the proportion of free water in the system increases, which is beneficial to increase the concentration of coal water slurry. The simulation results confirm the experimental results.

The efficient filtration of low-rank coal (LRC) slurry was significantly beneficial to the production process of wet coal beneficiation. However, relatively few studies have been reported on novel pretreatment methods for the efficient filtration of LRC slurry. In this paper, the mechanism of ultrasonic pretreatment to promote flocculation and filtration of slurry was studied. The hydrophobic variation of the slurry surface was measured by contact angle and XPS. The flocculation properties of slurry were characterized using zeta potential and FBRM. The effects of filter cake porosity and ultrasonic pretreatment on slurry filtration resistance were calculated by L-F NMR and Darcy’s theory. The results showed that the ultrasonic pretreatment promoted the flocculation and filtration performance of LRC slurry, increased the filtration rate, and decreased the cake moisture content. Meanwhile, the contact angle of LRC increased significantly from 50.1° to 67.8° after ultrasonic pretreatment, and the surface tension of the filtrate decreased from 69.5 to 53.31 mN/m. Ultrasonic pretreatment reduced the absolute value of the zeta potential of coal slurry from 24.8 to 21.0 mV, and the average chord length of flocs increased from 5–10 μm to 25–30 μm, thus weakening the electrostatic repulsion between coals to promote floc formation. In addition, the pore tests and filtration theory calculations showed that the ultrasonic pretreatment significantly improved the permeability of the filter cake to water and reduced the resistance to slurry during filtration. In particular, the mesopore porosity increased by 9.18%, and the permeability increased by 2.937 × 108m2. Therefore, this contributed to the reduction of slurry filtration resistance. This research provides an efficient method for promoting the efficient filtration of slurry.

The disadvantages of low-rank coal in the preparation of coal water slurry (CWS) are well known, but the synthesis of suitable dispersants is a promising solution. Polycarboxylate dispersant (PC) is expected to be an efficient CWS dispersant due to its flexible and controllable structure. In this study, a series of binary PC dispersants were synthesized by controlling the ratio of acrylic acid (AA) to sodium styrene sulfonate (SSS), initiator fraction, and temperature, and the optimal PC was selected based on the apparent viscosity of 72 # CWS at 100 s −1 . The properties of 72 # CWS were studied: This CWS exhibited shear-thinning behavior, >14 static stability, and >55 wt% maximum solid loading, indicating the satisfactory performance of the optimal PC. The experimental results (including adsorption tests and zeta potential measurement) and molecular dynamics simulation showed that PC was effectively adsorbed on the surface of the coal particles by a horizontal multipoint adsorption mode, mainly through the interaction between the hydrophobic groups of the PC molecule and the hydrophobic areas of the coal particles. The hydrophilicity of the coal particles was therefore improved and the stability of their hydration layer was also enhanced, which accounted for the good static stability of 72 # CWS. The amount of PC adsorption and the improved absolute zeta potential were associated with the decent properties of 72 # CWS. This study is significant for promoting the molecular design of CWS dispersants based on their adsorption behavior.

Coal water slurry (CWS) modified with traditional linear naphthalene sulfonate formaldehyde (NSF) polymers exhibited limited stability in long-haul pipeline transportation, because of low steric hindrance energy (V S ) between coal particles. To study the effect of structural modification of dispersant on the V S value, a branched multi-arm poly(sodium acryloyloxy-2-naphthalenesulfonate) (Ma-PANS) dispersant was synthesized by controlled/living radical polymerization (CRP), using vinyl monomer sodium acryloyloxy-2-naphthalenesulfonate (ANS) with triple functional groups as precursor. The making-slurry experiment results showed that the viscosity of Yulin CWS modified with Ma-PANS dropped 319 mPa·s, and its stability was remained at 100% after 30 days. The effects of the structural modification on adsorption amount, adsorption parameters and adsorption conformation were also analyzed by adsorption experiments and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The results showed that the specific conformation of Ma-PANS contributed to improving adsorption parameters. This reduced the diffusion rate of dispersant on coal surface, resulting in enhanced stability of slurry. Moreover, the numerical calculation results based on the extended Derjaguin-Landau-Verwey-Overbeek theory (eDLVO) showed that the enhancements on dispersion and stability were attributed to the structure of dispersant being changed from linear to multi-arm. The unique multi-arm structure brought significant increase in the V S value when impeding the approach among particles and disrupting flocculation, thus effectively enhanced dispersion and stability of CWS.
