The characteristic of explosion under mine gas and spontaneous combustion coupling
Abstract The gas explosions often occur under mine gas and spontaneous combustion coupling in coal mines. The coupling of mine gas and spontaneous combustion is a complex disaster, and the character of the disaster is not clear now. The paper...

ERT Investigation on Horizontal and Vertical Counter-gravity Slurry Flow in Pipelines
Abstract The occurrence of separation and slippage of the two phases in settling solid-liquid flow in pipelines make the flow unpredictable and time dependent. Therefore it is paramount for the operator of slurry pipelines to monitor and measure the ...

The effect of operating conditions on resistance parameters of filter media and limestone dust cake for uniformly loaded needle felts in a pilot scale test facility at ambient conditions
Abstract Resistance parameters are essential for the prediction of pressure drop in bag filters. The reported values for limestone dust differ in magnitude and also depend on operating parameters. In this work, experimental data is provided from a...

On the Design of Thermal Breathing Devices for Liquid Storage Tanks
The dynamic behaviour of an atmospheric liquid storage tank upon sudden change of meteorological conditions is analysed with the aim of establishing criteria for the safe and effective design of thermal breathing devices. A simulation model is presented based on a ...

Oxygen supply for oxycoal CO2 capture
Abstract The oxygen requirements for oxycoal combustion in a coal-fired power station are unusual in several respects. The amount of oxygen required is large, for instance a 500 MWe power plant will require around 10,000 tonnes per day of oxygen....

The effects of minor components on the gas separation performance of membranes for carbon capture
Abstract Multi-component gas systems can have a significant influence on the separation performance of polymeric gas separation membranes for carbon capture. CO2 permeability in Matrimid 5218 membranes is reported here for a laboratory grade CO2/N2...

MDEA/Piperazine as a solvent for CO2 capture
Abstract The solvent blend methyldiethanolamine/piperazine (MDEA/PZ) has been investigated as an alternative for CO2 capture from coal-fired power plants. MDEA/PZ offers advantages over monoethanolamine (MEA) and MDEA alone because of its resistance ...

Stripper configurations for CO2 capture by aqueous monoethanolamine and piperazine
Abstract Absorption/stripping with aqueous amines is a competitive technology for CO2 capture from coal-fired power plants. A major challenge is reducing the energy requirement in the stripper, which has contributions from the reboiler(s), pumps,...

Thermodynamic modeling of the solubility of CO2 in aqueous alkanolamine solutions using the extended UNIQUAC model application to monoethanolamine and methyldiethanolamine
Abstract The extended UNIQUAC model as proposed by Thomsen and Rasmussen [K. Thomsen, P. Rasmussen, Chem. Eng. Sci. 54 (1999) 1787-1802] was applied to the thermodynamic representation of carbon dioxide absorption in aqueous monoethanolamine (MEA)...
