Abstract

This paper presents the main aspects of changing the coal mining technology based on the introduction of underground coal gasification technology for the mining-geological conditions of the occurrence of State Enterprise “Lvivvuhillia” coal seams on the example of “Chervonohradska” mine. When conducting analytical studies using the “Material-heat balance of underground coal gasification” software, predictive quantitative-qualitative indicators of the injected blast mixture and gasification products have been determined depending on the structure and elemental composition of the coal seam, host rocks, water saturation of the seam, and water inflow into the gasification channel. The heat energy loss of an underground gas generator during the gasification of thin and ultra-thin coal seams has been revealed. The heat and energy capacity of the underground gas generator has been determined depending on the type of supply of the injected blast mixture to the combustion face “mirror” and the performance indicators of the gas generator segment within the mining energy-chemical complex taking into account the quantitative-qualitative indicators of generator gas and liquid chemical raw material of the condensate.

Influence of biocoke on iron ore sintering performance and strength properties of sinter

Lina Kieush, Andrii Koveria, Maksym Boyko … (2022)

Purpose. The research purpose is to substantiate the use of biocoke as a fuel in the iron ore sintering, as well as its influence on the performance and properties of the resulting sinter. To completely replace conventional coke breeze, biocoke is produced using 5 wt.% biomass wood pellets at different carbonization temperatures of 950 or 1100°C. Further, the influence of biocoke on the sintering process and the sinter quality is studied at a high proportion of biomass pellets of 10, 15, 30, 45 wt.% and a carbonization temperature of 950°C. Methods. Carbonization is performed in shaft-type electric furnaces to produce laboratory coke or biocoke. Afterward, the sintering of iron ores is conducted on a sinter plant. To assess the sintering process and the quality of the resulting sinter, the filtration rate is determined on a laboratory sinter plant using a vane anemometer designed to measure the directional flow average velocity under industrial conditions. The sinter reducibility is studied using a vertical heating furnace to assess the effect of coke and biocoke on the sinter’s physical-chemical properties. Findings. It has been determined that biocoke, carbonized at a temperature of 950°C, has good prospects and potential for a shift to a sustainable process of iron ore sintering. Originality. It has been proven that biocoke with a biomass pellet ratio of up to 15 wt.%, obtained at a temperature of 950°C, does not affect the parameters characterizing the sintering process. The sinter strength indicators correspond to the use of 100 wt.% conventional coke breeze. Biocoke used with a high proportion of biomass pellets of 30 and 45 wt.% causes a deterioration in the sinter quality. Practical implications. The results of using biocoke with the addition of 5-15 wt.% biomass pellets and at a temperature of 950°C are within the standard deviation, which makes it possible to use biocoke with 15 wt.% biomass pellets instead of industrial coke breeze.
