Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Low-Rank Coal Applications in Agriculture explores the commercialization and marketing potential of low-rank coal, which is rich in organic matter and humic substances. The author—a noted expert on the topic—clearly shows from a practical perspective, that rather than using it as an energy source, this material can be applied for the agricultural sector. The author investigates low-rank coal’s potential as used in dry and liquid humic products. This book discusses both raw materials and commercial products, and provides data on improved soil quality, crop yields, and livestock productivity. This groundbreaking book: details how this material can benefit agriculture; thus positioning coal in the more “green sector” type of industry presents original data collected from laboratories and agricultural fields, and summarizes literature on the science and regulation of low-rank coal and humic substances Written for field practitioners, end users, marketers, operators, regulators, researchers, and academics, Low-Rank Coal Applications in Agriculture is the first book on the market to explore the real-life use of low-rank coal for the agricultural sector.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook provides a holistic overview of different aspects of energy management in agriculture with an orientation to address the sustainable development goals. It covers possible applications not only from a technical point of view, but also from economic, financial, social, regulatory, and political viewpoints. Agriculture is one of the most imperative sectors that contribute to the economy across different agro-ecologies of the universe with energy inputs in each stage of production, from making and applying chemicals to fueling tractors that lay seeds and harvest crops to electricity for animal housing facilities. The majority of agricultural research has focused on the use of input, production, and productivity, whereas rational energy budgeting and use remain an overlooked and likely underestimated segment, ignored so far while formulating agro-ecosystem framework. Energy management study is a new frontier of agriculture and is challenging duе to complex enterprises, spatial-temporal variability, exposure to pollution, and the predominant effect of the anthropogenic factor on ecology and environment. But it is worth taking the challenge considering the important prerequisite role of energy for sustainable development which has been evidenced from increasing research in recent times. Of recent origin, there are critical, in-depth studies around the globe assessing the capture and flow of energy in the ecosystem, which will help to develop a conceptual framework to incorporate this vital resource in the agriculture management template. This book is a state-of-the-art resource for a broad group of readers including a diversity of stakeholders and professionals in universities, public energy institutions, farmers and farming industry, public health and other relevant institutions, and the broader public as well.

Book excerpt: The importance of low quality coals has emerged in current years. A major strategic concern is that the rapid growth in hard coal production has resulted in a sharp fall in the reserves- to production ratios worldwide. As hard coals are depleting rapidly, the resulting price surge and supply risks are the key challenges facing many coal consuming countries. Moreover, coal market dynamics are also changing; this change in market dynamics has forced some coal importers to seek new sources of supply, with subbituminous coal having already begun to gain attention in world markets. Low quality coals thus have an important role to play in maintaining security of coal supply. In addition, since low quality coals are generally produced by surface mining, their production costs are much lower than hard coals that are extracted through underground operations. To this end, for instance, a number of high efficiency processes are under development in Australia, Germany, Japan and the USA. All these developments in power generation, CTL, UCG, drying and upgrading are likely to ensure a sustainable future for low quality coals. Low-rank Coals for Power Generation, Fuel and Chemical Production discusses the current status of utilization of low quality coals for power generation worldwide. It provides a comprehensive and systematic review of the properties of low-rank coals Power generation using low quality coals is dominated by Pulverised Coal Combustion (PCC) plants. Although the majority of PCC plants use subcritical technologies, a number of new plants have adopted supercritical steam conditions at large scale. This book will presents research results and reviews discussing the impact of coal characteristics, operational experience gained with low quality coals, and future trend of development. This book is a valuable information resource for power generation engineers and researchers seeking to maximize the opportunities provided by these cheaper coal feedstock for effective and eco-friendly power generation.

This book was released on 2017-06-22 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Low-Rank Coals for Power Generation, Fuel and Chemical Production provides a thorough introduction to lignite (brown coal) and subbituminous coals and explores how they can be used efficiently and economically in place of hard coal. The book examines the undesirable characteristics of low-quality coals, such as high moisture content, low calorific value, and aggressive ash characteristics, and the resulting refinements to standard technologies and practices required for successful combustion, gasification, and pyrolysis.The first part of this book provides a comprehensive and systematic review of the properties of low-rank coals and corresponding preparation methods, such as drying, cleaning, and upgrading. Power generation from low-rank coals is the focus of Part 2, with chapter topics ranging from high efficiency pulverized coal combustion and circulatingfluidized bed combustion to emerging areas such as chemical looping and oxyfuel combustion. The final contributions address the important subjects of coal-to-liquids,polygeneration and coke production using low-rank coals, as well as the critical issue of carbon capture and storage.This book is a valuable resource for power generation engineers and researchers seeking to maximize the opportunities provided by these cheaper coal feedstocks for efficient and environmentally compatible power generation. Presents the most in-depth treatment of low-rank coals available Addresses both power generation and fuel production Includes coverage that spans pulverized coal combustion and emerging technologies, such as CFBC, UCG, CLC, and oxyfuel combustion
