Coal quality has an important influence on the ignition and flame-stability performance of pulverized coals. Flame-stability is more of a problem with lignites, particularly if the moisture content is high. Authored by an eminent expert in his field—this book attempts to capture the state of the art of coal combustion quality at the mine, and power, steel and cement plants. It discusses in a unified manner the requirements of different plants producing and using coal. The basic objective of the book is to look at: the potential impacts that different-quality coals may have on combustion performance, the possibility of predicting performance from known coal-quality parameters; and the potential impact of burning low grade coal. Lavishly illustrated with copious references for further reading, the book covers both, the technical and managerial aspects of the subject.
