- the coal, water, and cellulosic compound can be mixed in any, convenient manner. It is only necessary to contact the three components together. As a convenience, it has been found efficient to add the water and cellulosic compound to the coal grinding mill. In this manner the cellulosic compound can additionally serve as a grinding aid. Addition to the inlet of a rod mill ensures good mixing and flow through the mill, producing a more consistent grind size. Unstable slurries exhibit sloshing and erratic flow through the mill which results in washing coarse material through the mill outlet.
- the stability of the slurry depends on the coal type, solids concentration, quantity of bound moisture, and particle size distribution. Stability can be determined by actual use in coal slurry handling equipment, with problems of plugging in transport piping, decreased usable tank volume, discharge nozzle plugging, pump plugging, and frequent rod mill oversize discharge indicating that the slurry is not stable. Before reaching commercial operations, a laboratory method of determining stability can be employed to investigate a particular type of coal. For example, the viscosity and shear stress of various mixtures of coal slurries at different shear rates can be measured using a Fann® viscometer to determine the level of stabilizer required without unduly increasing viscosity and the yield stress estimated by extrapolating the shear stress vs. shear rate curves to zero shear rate. The yield stress indicates the degree of stability; the higher the yield stress number the more stable the slurry.
Abstract
Coal slurry compositions are stabilized against settling by a cellulose ether, especially methyl-cellulose.
Description
- This invention relates to coal slurry compositions and to a method for their preparation and treatment. Particularly, this invention relates to stabilization of coal slurries and the treatment of coal slurries to prepare more uniformly consistent particle size containing slurries.
- Consideration of coal for gasification to provide alternate gaseous fuel for energy production in more economical combined cycle gas turbine generating plants has opened the way for use of large reserves of domestically available coal supplies. However, one disadvantage is that the coal reserves are often located far from the source of demand for electrical energy. This requires large trains of railroad cars or barges which are expensive to transport. Further, the handling and transport of dry solids has its own problems. For this reason it has been suggested that the coal be transported by pipeline as a slurry of finely divided coal particles. However, the use of coal slurries also has the problem of settling and packing which causes equipment plugging, e.g., in pumps, piping and storage tanks.
- Several solutions to this problem have been suggested. In U.S. 4,722,740, to Donnelly, it is suggested that a dispersion of coal in aqueous solution include a multi-component additive which is a water soluble, nonionic wetting agent; a water soluble, low molecular weight polymer; and a water soluble, medium-to-high molecular weight polymer. A further limitation is on the particle size distribution requiring a major portion of the particles to have an average particle size of from 75 to 35 µm and a minor portion of particles to have an average particle size of from 6 to 15 µm. Another carbon slurry stability additive mixture is described in U.S. 4,729,795 to Fillipo, in which the additives include sodium carboxymethyl-cellulose and hectorite clay added in specified amounts to powdered activated carbon prepared by the destructive distillation of a wood precursor.
- Further, even if long distance pipeline transport of coal slurry is not required, e.g., the generating plant is located adjacent the opened coal mine or the coal material is transported by bulk transport other than pipeline, the handling of coal slurries is still preferable, especially for feeding to pressurized gasification reactors. Therefore, a stable slurry which does not interfere with the gasification process nor add complexity in the components required to stabilize the slurry and which does not require a multicomponent stabilizer package is desirable and an object of the present invention.
- The present invention which provides a solution to the problems of stabilizing coal slurries and satisfaction in use includes a coal slurry composition having a major portion of finely divided coal, a minor portion of water, and a stabilizing amount of a cellulosic compound. Preferably, the cellulosic compound is a cellulose ether and is selected from methyl cellulose ethers, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose ethers, hydroxybutyl methylcellulose ethers and mixtures of these. More preferably, the cellulose ether is present in an amount of from 0.0025 to 0.02, preferably 0.01 to 0.015, percent by weight of the total slurry composition.
- As indicated above, the invention includes a coal in water slurry. As used herein, the term "coal" is employed to mean several forms of carbonaceous material which can be employed by various processes for gasification. Thus, any form of carbonaceous material which is a solid or can be formed into a solid and can be finely divided to form a particulate suspension or dispersion in water is contemplated. Typical coals include but are not limited to anthracite, bituminous, subbituminous, lignite, coke, coal char, coal liquefaction residues, petroleum coke, particulate carbon soot in solids derived from oil shale, tar sands and pitch.
- The coal can be finely divided, usually by grinding in a ball, hammer or rod mill. The grinding or other type of comminution should be sufficient to permit the coal to be classified as boiler grind, i.e., 70 weight percent of the finely divided coal should pass a 200 mesh (75 µm) screen. This is not a limitation, but a convenient measure of general use in the industry. Both larger and smaller particles can be useful in the present invention such as 30 weight percent or less passing a 200 mesh (75 µm) screen or 100 weight percent passing. More preferably, the composition of this invention is most advantageous with coarser grinds because they have a larger stability problem, such as "pipeline" grind used for slurry transport which is 25 weight percent passing 200 mesh (75 µm) and 95 weight percent passing 16 mesh 1.1 mm) screens.
- The coal is mixed with water, preferably just before or during the comminution, in order to have the suspension or dispersion formed for easy transport of the particulate coal. Although the least water employed in the slurry the more economical the operation, from 30 to 49 percent by weight of the slurry can be water. Preferably, the water content is from 40 to 49 percent by weight. It is only necessary that the slurry be of pumpable consistency.
- The cellulose ethers which are used in the present invention are known and commercially available. However, cellulose compounds previously used have not been able by themselves to sufficiently stabilize the slurries.

Water-soluble cellulose ethers are useful in the present invention because the slurrying liquid is water. Although a water-soluble cellulose ether is preferred, organic-soluble cellulose ethers can be employed in this invention, provided that an organic solvent is employed as the slurrying agent.
- Typical water-soluble cellulose ethers include sodium carboxymethyl 2-hydroxyethyl cellulose, 2-hydroxyethyl cellulose, methyl cellulose, 2-hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose, 2-hydroxyethyl methyl cellulose, 2-hydroxybutyl methyl cellulose, 2-hydroxyethyl ethyl cellulose, and 2-hydroxypropyl cellulose which are commercially produced.

Generally, the particle size of the powder and the amount of the cellulosic compound employed determines the degree of stability of the coal slurry.

- To a slurry of 51.1 percent by weight of subbituminous coal from the Rochelle Mine of the Peabody Coal Company, ground so that 20.2 weight percent passes a 325 mesh (45 µm) screen, in water was added various amounts of METHOCEL F4M brand methyl cellulose ether, produced by The Dow Chemical Company, Midland, Michigan.
