Correlation between petrographic and coal quality characteristics of typical Shenmu low caking coal
In order to explore the possibility of Shenmu low ranking coal being used for coking,Shenmu low ranking coal had been divided into low caking coal and non-caking coal,and the petrographic characteristic parameters of low caking coal and non-caking coal in the Shenmu area were measured,namely random reflectance of vitrinite(Rran)and composition of coal macerals(∑ V).The correlation between the petrographic characteristic parameters of coal and its proximate analysis results was explored,and the relationship between microstructure of coal and its coal quality characteristics was systematically analyzed.The results indicate that there is a certain correlation between the petro-graphic characteristics and coal quality characteristics of Shenmu low caking coal.Its ratio between reactive compo-nent and inert component and ∑V are positively correlated with volatile matter content(Vdaf)and fixed carbon con-tent(FCa),while Shenmu non-caking coal shows positive correlation with ash content(Ad),negative correlation with fixed carbon content(Fed),and no significant correlation with other coal quality characteristics.There is posi-tive correlation between Rran and moisture content(Mad)in non-caking coal,while there is no significant correlation between low caking coal.There is no significant correlation between Rran and volatile matter content in low caking coal and non-caking coal,and Rran,ratio between reactive component and inert component,and ∑V of low caking coal and non-caking coal also have no significant correlation with tar yield and thermal stability,but the tar yield and thermal stability of low caking coal are generally higher than those of non-caking coal.The research results prolide theoretical basis and technical support for the efficient classification and utilization of shenmu low caking coal in the metallurgical field.
