In this study, three high-ash Indian sub-bituminous coals of different thermal maturities from open cast mines Raniganj basin, eastern India, were studied to understand their combustion and pyrolysis behavior. The analyses performed under heating rates (5°C, 10°C, 15°C/min). From the thermograms TG-DTG curves, it was observed that overall reaction can be deduced into four temperature regions with each region showing unique properties, those are inherent moisture loss, prior primary...
Thermal and chemical properties of coals, the lithotypes they contain, provide useful insight to their combustion reaction behaviors. Analysis thermal properties, proximate parameters, Rock-Eval signatures, petrographic characteristics vitrain, fusain lithotypes, bulk coal samples distinct ranks from Raniganj (high volatile bituminous A rank, HvbA) Jharia (medium Mvb) basins (India) reveal contrasting features. The HvbA is identified as most reactive. Mvb vitrains display comparable...
