Fuels and Combustion
While the first commercial low temperature coal carbonisation plant is located at Neyveli (in Chennai), the second such plant has been built at
It is abrasive to the coal pulveriser (ie.g. ball mill) and the combustion chamber
The ash retains the sulphur & phosphorus and thus affects the quality of products in metallurgical furnace apart from increasing the slag volume. Besides, it may fuse and stick to the boiler tubes
The ash in molten condition gets absorbed in the pores of the refractory lining of the furnace and causes its spalling due to different co-efficient of expansion/contraction of the refractory and the
