The Future of Coal (Chapters 1-3)

چکیده
In the U.S., coal-based power generation is expanding again; in China, it is expanding very rapidly; and in India, it appears on the verge of rapid expansion. In all these countries and worldwide, the primary generating technology is pulverized coal (PC) combustion. PC combustion technology continues to undergo technological improvements that increase effi ciency and reduce emissions. However, technologies favored for today’s conditions may not be optimum under future conditions. In particular, carbon dioxide capture and sequestration in coal-based power generation is an important emerging option for managing carbon dioxide emissions while meeting growing electricity demand, but this would add further complexity to the choice of generating technology.

The Future of Coal (Chapters 1-3)
Th e risk of adverse climate change from global warming forced in part by growing greenhouse gas emissions is serious. While projections vary, there is now wide acceptance among the scientifi c community that global warming is occurring, that the human contribution is important, and that the eff ects may impose signifi cant costs on the world economy. As a result, governments are likely to adop...

متن کاملFundamentals of 3D modelling and resource estimation in coal mining
The prerequisite of maintaining an efficient and safe mining operation is the proper design of a mine by considering all aspects. The first step in a coal mine design is a realistic geometrical modelling of the coal seam(s). The structural features such as faults and folding must be reliably implemented in 3D seam models. Upon having a consistent seam model, the attributes such as calorific val...
متن کاملAll-age hospitalization rates in coal seam gas areas in Queensland, Australia, 1995–2011
BACKGROUND Unconventional natural gas development (UNGD) is expanding globally, with Australia expanding development in the form of coal seam gas (CSG). Residents and other interest groups have voiced concerns about the potential environmental and health impacts related to CSG. This paper compares objective health outcomes from three study areas in Queensland, Australia to examine potential env...
متن کاملDevelopment of a site-specific regression model for assessment of road-header cutting performance of Tabas coal mine based on rock properties
In underground excavation, where the road-headers are employed, a precise prediction of the road-header performance has a vital role in the economy of the project. In this paper, a new model is developed for prediction of the road-header performance using the non-linear multivariate regression analysis. This model is able to estimate the instantaneous cutting rate (ICR) of roadheader based on r...
