Abstract
The paper presents the application of thermal analysis methods in the study of various materials: coal sludge, polymeric material and composites of a polymer with coal sludge (fraction of coal sludge in composites: 1%, 3% and 5%). TG/DTG/DSC curves obtained during measurements in air atmosphere were analyzed. Polymers are used in many industries, that is why their thermal characteristics are so important. On the other hand, the mining industry, forced to supply power plants better quality fuel, must perform more thorough coal cleaning. This results in a continuous increase in waste in the form of coal sludge. The best method of disposing of these wastes is thermal utilisation (combustion and co-combustion), as well as use in composites with other materials. The aim of the study was to demonstrate the effect of the addition of coal sludge to the polymer on the energetic effect and the rate of mass change of the material sample during the thermal process by TG/DTG/DSC methods.
