Chemical Analytical Laboratory

The Chemical Analytical Laboratory is equipped with various equipment and instrument for performing basic coal characteristic analysis. 
Among those are : Atomic Absorption Spectrophoto-meter,Thermo Gravimetry Analysis (TGA7), Differential Thermal Analyzer, Ash Fusion Analyzer, Gas Chromato-graphy equipment, Sulphur Analyzer, Ultimate and Proximate Analyzer, Bomb Calorimeter, Testing Sieve Shaker, Ashing Furnaces, Particle sizes, Equipment for measurement of Hard Grove Index and BET Surface Area, ect. With the available equipment and capable personnel, most of chemical analysis for coals, and also for ather fuels can be done in this laboratory.

Coal Briquetting

The preliminary experimental studies for briquetting have been carried out to determine how burning quality is influenced by the following process variables : Coal size and type/rank, amount and quality of binder, the conditions of mixing , tempering and pressing, quality and strength of briquettes, the optimum size and the the shape of the briquettes, the burning and physical characteristics of the briquettes, type of cooking ovens used, type and concentration of exhaust gases or emission. 
Although the current briquetting experimental studies are still the alboratoey scale, it is expacted that there will be a pilot scale demonstration plant of briquette production in the immediate future with collaboration of coal briquette indistries.
