The Pulverize is a major part of the boiler combustion system and an important part in the system of steam power plant (PLTU). Pulverizer plant serves to break chunks of coal into the coal ash was then fed to the burner. Type of feed coal into a pulverize is cleaned with a value product pulverize optimum 30%. The percentage of this value greatly affects the production of steam in the boiler. Th...

Hearing loss was the second-most common illness reported to the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) in 2009. Furthermore, between 2000 and 2010, 30% of all noise-related injury complaints reported to MSHA were for coal preparation plant employees. Previous National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) studies have shown that vibrating screens are key noise sources to ad...

It is technically feasible to capture CO2 from the flue gas of a coal-fired power plant and various researchers are working to understand the fate of sequestered CO2 and its long term environmental effects. Sequestering CO2 significantly reduces the CO2 emissions from the power plant itself, but this is not the total picture. CO2 capture and sequestration consumes additional energy, thus loweri...

The airborne particles were collected near the power plant and the opencast coal mine of the Kolubara basin. This paper represents the part of the one-year project aiming to collect, characterize and then determine the mineralogical composition of the airborne particles. Samples of deposited particulate matter from the air were collected between March 2007 and March 2008. Mean concentrations co...

Výpočet možnosti vzniku průtrže v dlouhých důlních dílech The article brings results of the evaluation of a possibility of coal and gas outburst origin on the basis of calculation of active forces that try to induce an outburst and passive forces that prevent an outburst from occurring. The analysis of outbursts from the Paskov Mine, Staříč plant, shows that decisive indicators, by which a pron...

As of 1998, electric utility companies burning coal or oil are required to report their annual releases of toxic chemicals to the Toxics Release Inventory (TRI), a national compilation of multimedia (air, water, land) releases of over 600 chemicals and chemical categories designated as toxic by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). TRI reports for 1998 must be filed with EPA by July 1...

in order to investigate the effect of two mycorrhizal species (glomus mosseae and g. intraradices) on different growth aspects of two pistachio cultivars (p. vera cv. badami-riz zarand, and p. vera cv. qazvini), a greenhouse experiment was conducted taking into account three factors of: mycorrhizae inoculation at three levels (no mycorrhizae application as control, g. mosseae , g. intraradices)...

Six Integrated Gasifi cation Combined-Cycle (IGCC) power plant confi gurations operating on bituminous coal were evaluated and the results are presented in this summary sheet. All cases were analyzed on the same basis, using a consistent set of assumptions and analytical tools. Each gasifi er type was assessed with and without carbon capture and sequestration (CCS). The individual confi guratio...

The Alborz coal basin is located in northern part of Iran. The coal deposits of Shahrood in eastern Alborz, Zirab in central Alborz and Abyek in western Alborz were studied as typical coalfields of the basin. Shemshak Formation which is the main coal-bearing sequence was formed during the Triassic-Jurassic in the basin. It consists of sandstone, siltstone, shale and claystone, which variedly al...

In Korea, there are not detailed analysis data on soil contamination in nuclear power plant(NPP) and suitable treatment criteria of contaminated soils. When the soils of NPP were contaminated, they have been simply collected and kept in radioactive waste building. But contamination of soils in NPP is inevitable and enormous amounts of contaminated soils can be produced during decommissioning. T...
