Deep processing of organic mass of finely dispersed coal waste

Abstract

The technological and technical possibility of deep processing of coal by its liquefaction using the methods of extreme mechanochemical and physical effects has been determined; recommendations have been developed for the applied use of the obtained materials in heat power engineering. The organic part of the solid mass of the prepared coal-oil suspension, which has turned into a relatively heavy organic liquid, can be used as a boiler or motor fuel, as well as a feedstock for the production of various hydrocarbon liquids. The resulting mixture of hydrocarbons can be subjected to rectification to obtain hydrocarbon fractions for the production of plastics, oil fractions and the entire spectrum of hydrocarbons for secondary use. The effective use of the above substances will make it possible to obtain not only economic, but also a significant environmental effect. The possibility of liquefying the organic mass of coal using decalin as a hydrogen donor is shown. It was found that the addition of 3% decalin improves the liquefaction process during cavitation treatment. Liquefaction of the organic mass of coal is accompanied by the splitting of the structures of macromolecules of organic substances of coal into aromatic fragments with a lower molecular weight. It should be noted that the developed technology will solve the problem of increasing the value of the final coal product, including by involving unused fine coal sludge into circulation.
