Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All the guidance needed to test coal and analyze the results With the skyrocketing costs of most fuel sources, government, industry, and consumers are taking a greater interest in coal, an abundant and inexpensive alternative, which has been made more environmentally friendly through new technology. Published in response to this renewed interest, Handbook of Coal Analysis provides readers with everything they need to know about testing and analyzing coal. Moreover, it explains the meaning of test results and how these results can predict coal behavior and its corresponding environmental impact during use. The thorough coverage of coal analysis includes: * Detailed presentation of necessary standard tests and procedures * Explanation of coal behavior relative to its usage alongside the corresponding environmental issues * Coverage of nomenclature, terminology, sampling, and accuracy and precision of analysis * Step-by-step test method protocols for proximate analysis, ultimate analysis, mineral matter, physical and electrical properties, thermal properties, mechanical properties, spectroscopic properties, and solvent properties * Emphasis on relevant American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standards and test methods, including corresponding International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and British Standards Institution (BSI) test method numbers To assist readers in understanding the material, a glossary of terms is provided. Each term is defined in straightforward language that enables readers to better grasp complex concepts and theory. References at the end of each chapter lead readers to more in-depth discussions of specialized topics. This is an essential reference for analytical chemists, process chemists, and engineers in the coal industry as well as other professionals and researchers who are looking to coal as a means to decrease dependence on foreign oil sources and devise more efficient, cleaner methods of energy production.
Download or read book Sediment Records of Biomass Burning and Global Change written by James S. Clark and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1997-02-20 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biomass burning profoundly affects atmospheric chemistry, the carbon cycle, and climate and may have done so for millions of years. Bringing together renowned experts from paleoecology, fire ecology, atmospheric chemistry, and organic chemistry, the volume elucidates the role of fire during global changes of the past and future. Topics covered include: the characterization of combustion products that occur in sediments, including char, soot/fly ash, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons; the calibration of these constituents against atmospheric measurements from wildland and prescribed fire emissions; spatial and temporal patterns in combustion emissions at scales of individual burns to the globe.

Book excerpt: This report presents a cost analysis of Powdered Activated Carbon production from coal. In the process under analysis, Activated Carbon is produced via a typical steam activation process. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): (1) "Carbon, Activated", Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology, 5th edition (2) "Carbon, 5. Activated Carbon", Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry, 2010 Keywords: Steam Activated Process, Carbonization, Activated Charcoal, Activated Coal, Carbo Activatus
Download or read book Charcoal Analysis written by Carole A. Keepax and published by . This book was released on 1988 with total page 605 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this thesis, data from 236 archaeological sites in England, Scotland and Wales are used to build the foundations of a standard methodology for charcoal identification and interpretation. Sampling methods are examined, including sample selection, recovery, sample size, fragment size, and their effects on results. A computer-based key for native woody plants (and some introduced species) was constructed to aid identification of archaeological charcoals. 31 taxa were identified from the sites studied. Results are compared by histograms, presence analysis and multivariate analysis. The broad pattern is found to display little variation in relation to archaeological period or context type. Quercus sp., Rosaceae (subfamily Pomoideae), Corylus sp., Primus sp., and Fraxiiius sp. are the five most common taxa on the majority of sites. The importance of this finding to the interpretation of individual results is considered in terms of a simple fuel selection:availability hypothesis. Compared to pollen or molluscan analysis, charcoal is shown to be insensitive to changes in woodland distribution and type. There are, however, indications of local environmental influences in the occurrence of some less commonly recorded taxa (e.g. Rhamnus sp. and Calluna sp.). Distributions of Fagus sp., Acer sp., Taxus sp., Carpinus sp., Pinus sp., Tilia sp. and others arc considered in relation to their known history and ecology, illustrating the value of large-scale charcoal evidence in helping to reconstruct woodland history. Multi-faceted analysis of taxa identified, charcoal concentration, the number of fragments idcntiticd per taxon and the proportion of twiggy material present is shown to be a potential means of characterising deposits, and one which also promises to yield further information in the future.

This book was released on 2006-04-11 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This third volume in the Developments in Paleoenvironmental Research series deals with the major terrestrial, algal, and siliceous indicators used in paleolimnology. Other volumes deal with the acquisition and archiving of lake sediment cores, chronological techniques, and large-scale basin analysis methods (Volume 1), physical and geochemical parameters and methods (Volume 2), zoological techniques (Volume 4), and statistical and data handling methods (Volume 5). These monographs will provide sufficient detail and breadth to be useful handbooks for both seasoned practitioners as well as newcomers to the area of paleolimnology. Although the chapters in these volumes target mainly lacustrine settings, many of the techniques described can also be readily applied to fluvial, glacial, marine, estuarine, and peatland environments.
