Abstract: The present invention provides methods and systems for reducing moisture in mineral slurries, particularly mineral slurries containing minerals of small particle diameter, using a granular drying material. The invention also relates to novel mineral products and intermediates useful in connection with the process. The method and system reduced moisture by contacting the mineral slurry with the granular drying material. The granular drying material is selected to be readily separated from the dried minerals using a size separation technique such as a sieve screen. The granular drying material is the regenerated, preferably using a process involving heat exchange and cross-flow air. The granular drying material is preferably capable of regeneration and recycling in a continuous process with minimal attrition.

Abstract: This invention provides a system for removing surface moisture from granulated coal or other materials in particulate form, the system comprising a dryer, wherein the dryer has: an in-feed (1) for material particles; an in-feed (3) for entrainment gas (suitably air) to provide dilute phase gas entrainment of the particles; and turbulence—inducing means (5) configured to subject the flow of gas—entrained particles to turbulence to strip water from the surface of the entrained particles. The system is highly efficient and economical to operate, requiring no external heat input and yet achieving a high drying effectiveness

Abstract: A process is provided using non-food or limited-feed agricultural residue and energy crops for energy production, such as ethanol or electricity generation. The agricultural plant material is harvested and baled. The bales are transported to the processing site for storage or immediate processing. The bale strings are first removed, and then the broken bales are shredded. The shredded plant material is then ground to a small size. The ground material is then pelletized to produce densified pellets of the agricultural plant material. The pellets are cooled and then stored or transported to an end user.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and system for drying coal using activated alumina. The method and system dries the coal by combining coal with the activated alumina. While in combination, the mixture is agitated to maximize surface contact between the activated alumina and the coal. As the coal contact the activated alumina, the surfactant moisture on the coal is then absorbed by the activated alumina. The activated alumina allow for the water molecules to pass into the sieves, thus being removed from the coal. After a period of agitation, the method and system thereby separates the activated alumina and the coal.

Abstract: A coal treatment process containing a coal-beneficiation process module. The module is implemented into the conventional coal treatment process of a coal-fired power plant after a first step of grinding the coal in a coal mill. The process module sequentially extracts chemical substances of non-combustible ash, water, mercury and oil that are found in coal before the coal is fired, so that present invention can produce valuable products and achieve a high quality cleaned powdered coal-char to burn in a furnace to thereby reduce pollution and increase the efficiency of energy production from the coal.

Abstract: The invention relates to the transportation and preparation for combustion of coal used as a solid fuel at heat power plants and can find applications in coal-based power generation. The object of the invention is a complex use of energy resources contained in coal, reduction of power consumption for the realization of the process, expansion of solid fuel pipeline transport application in coal-based power generation, increase in the coal pipeline operation safety, and the environment protection. Prior to the transportation via a pipeline, the initial stream of coal is screened into coarse material and fines, the latter being pressed into cylindrical monolithic blocks. Coal is transported via a pipeline filled with aqueous salt solution with a density exceeding that of the transported material, the coarse coal and pressed blocks being loaded into the pipeline alternately. At the power station, the coal delivered in the aqueous salt solution is separated from the liquid carrier, rinsed with water, dried and ground with simultaneous capturing of released methane. The effluents of rinsing are evaporated by heat released at the condensation of the working medium of the power plant thermodynamic cycle. The remaining stripped solution is mixed with liquid medium separated from the coal and returned to the starting point of the process.
