Introducing coal-water mix fuels

General considerations associated with the formulation and use of coal-water fuels (CWF) in heating applications are discussed in this overview. Selection of coal for CWF involves consideration of coal volatiles, heating value, ash composition and content, and equilibrium moisture. Additives that can be used to modify the fuel mix properties include dispersants, pH modifiers, stablizers, and biocides. The flow properties of the formulations...
