Features: Since coal is one of the most polluting energy sources, understanding the properties of coal and various clean coal technologies such as coal washing, processing (e.g., producing briquettes and coal-water slurry), and converting coal into clean oil and gas energy are long-term research and development challenges for the coal production and consumption sectors. These technologies aim to minimize air pollution as much as possible. This book introduces the basic properties of coal and fundamental knowledge of its processing and utilization, helping readers understand the importance of coal processing and its significant role in the national economy. The book covers topics including the formation and classification of coal, coal washing, blended coal for power generation, briquettes and briquette coking, coal-water slurry technology and applications, coal gasification, coking, liquefaction, combustion, and coal-to-ammonia synthesis.
