There are several phenomenons for polluting the environment, especially in coalfields; which coal spontaneous combustion is one of them. The moisture content is one of the intrinsic characteristics of coal, which has an important role in the occurrence of this phenomenon. Therefore, this research predicts the coal spontaneous combustion tendency based on moisture content. The percentage of mois...

The thermal characteristics and kinetics of coal, biomass (pine sawdust) and their blends were evaluated under combustion conditions using a non-isothermal thermogravimetric method (TGA). Biomass was blended with coal in the range of 5-80 wt.% to evaluate their co-combustion behaviour. No significant interactions were detected between the coal and biomass, since no deviations from their expecte...

Recent progress in preparation/combustion of submilligram organic samples at our laboratories is presented. Routine methods had to be modified/refined to achieve acceptable and consistent procedural blanks for organic samples smaller than 1000 μg C. A description of the process leading to a modified combustion method for smaller organic samples is given in detail. In addition to analyzing diffe...

subject analysis of the potential of spontaneous combustion in coal layers with analytical and numerical methods has been always considered as a difficult task because of the complexity of the coal behavior and the number of factors influencing it. empirical methods, due to accounting for certain and specific factors, have not accuracy and efficiency for all positions. the rock engineering syst...

stoichiometric tetragonal bal-xsrxtio3 (x = 0.23) nanopowders were prepared by stearic acid gel(sag) method using barium stearate, strontium stearate, tetrabutyl titanate as ba, sr, ti sourcesand stearic acid as complexing reagent. thermal analysis including differential thermogravimetric(dtg) and tg, fourier transform infrared spectrometry (ftir), x-ray diffraction (xrd) andtransmission electr...

Rice husk is a waste product whose utilization not optimal in Indonesia. husks contain organic materials the form of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin; minerals silica, alkali, trace elements. The silica content rice very high, ranging from 87-97% to other minerals. Silica nanoparticles were synthesized through various methods, including sol-gel method, combustion combination obtain purity s...
