Development of Life Cycle Water-Demand Coefficients for Coal-Based Power Generation Technologies
Download2015-01-01
This paper aims to develop benchmark coefficients for water consumption and water withdrawals over the full life cycle of coal-based power generation. This study considered not only all of the unit operations involved in the full electricity generation life cycle but also compared different...

Previous studies on the extraction of liquid products from coals have focused mainly on increasing the yield, with very little emphasis on the quality of the liquid products. The main goal of this study is to achieve a balance between the yield and quality of the coal derived liquids. The first...

The removal of solid particulates from crude oils and hydrocarbon streams is a common challenge in refining. Finding a method for efficient removal of the suspended solids in the oil streams is the main objective of this work. Paraffinic and aqueous treatment and the combination of these two...

The fragmentation of large coal particles at high temperature is important to the efficient operation of Corex process of steelmaking, which uses raw coal instead of coke. The hypothesis is that the heterogeneity within coal particles affects the fragmentation. The interface of minerals and coal...

Integrated techno-economic and environmental assessments of sixty scenarios for co-firing biomass with coal and natural gas

Agbor, Ezinwa, Oyedun, Adetoyese Olajire, Zhang, Xiaolei, Kumar, Amit
Displacement of fossil fuel-based power through biomass co-firing could reduce the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from fossil fuels. In this study, data-intensive techno-economic models were developed to evaluate different co-firing technologies as well as the configurations of these...

Solvent extraction of coal is a method to produce low molecular weight products from coal. It also can be used as a pretreatment for Direct Coal Liquefaction to enhance its efficiency. Yield, rate and nature of coal dissolution at low temperatures (25-150°C) and short contact time have been...

An experimental facility was constructed in order to examine the feasibility of the coal bio-conversion under the application of confining pressure. The main purpose of this work was to investigate the effect of confining pressure on methane generation. Core-flooding experiments were conducted...

Modelling of solvent extraction was studied using 1,2,3,4–tetrahydronaphtalene (tetralin) and Poplar coal (lignite). A kinetic model was developed taking into account temperature, mass transfer limitations and dominating events (physical or chemical) during coal liquefaction. It was found there...

Patterns of glass sponge (Porifera, Hexactinellida) distribution in coastal waters of British Columbia, Canad
Download2004
Leys, S.P., Holeton, C., Reiswig, H.M., Tunnicliffe, V., Austin, W.C., Wilson, K.
Glass sponges are enigmatic members of the deep-sea fauna that inhabit shallow waters in only a few locations world-wide. In order to understand what factors influence the distribution of glass sponges, patterns of distribution and abundance of reef and non-reef forming hexactinellids in fjords...
