Definitions
- the present invention relates to a process for removal of organic sulphur from high sulphur coal and a device therefor.
- the invention finds its usage in utilizing for power generation in thermal coal plants, briquette making, active carbon and reduction of pollution.
- Sulphur included within the coals make them undesirable for use without expensive and efficient reducing equipment to recover the products of sulphur by combustion.
- One of the products of combustion is sulphur dioxide, which is considered to be a highly undesirable pollutant of the atmosphere.
- sulphur in coal is present in various forms. There are three basic forms, namely; pyritic sulphur, sulphate sulphur and organic sulphur.
- the pyritic sulphur is sulphur combined with iron.
- the sulphate sulphur is generally of a minute quantity, that is, it usually constitutes 1 % or 2% of all the sulphur in a given coal specimen.
- Organic sulphur is sulphur, which is combined, in an organic compound with the carbon of the coal.
- Organic sulphur is generally found to be difficult to remove from coal.
- US Patent No.4233034 the problem which confronts most investigators is how to remove organic sulphur from coal.
- the patent discloses a process for removing sulphur from coal. But process does not distinguish between the removal of organic sulphur from the removal of pyritic sulphur, but the teaching is simply directed to a process of removing sulphur without distinction of what type of sulphur is removed. It is known to remove pyritic sulphur efficiently from coal. The problem revolves around removing the organic sulphur efficiently.
- the mixture of coal and ethyl alcohol is placed in a reaction vessel, and temperature and pressure in the vessel are raised above the critical temperature and pressure of ethyl alcohol.
- the mixture is maintained at a temperature and pressure above tlie critical temperature and pressure for a period of time. Any gas generated is collected and the coal solids of the mixture are separated from the liquid.

- the promoter zone is heated initially at a temperature in the range of 950 to 1000 degree Celsius at the rate of 5 degree Celsius rise in temperature and steam zone at a temperature in the range of 450 to 500 degree Celsius at the rate of 5 degree Celsius rise in temperature.
- the input coal is crushed -72 mesh BS and fed into the reaction zone.
- Steam is produced in a round bottom flask and passed through the reactor. When temperature attains 900 degree Celsius, it is maintained at that temperature for a time period in the range of 0.5 to 2 hours.
- the gas evolved is passed through a series of glass bubblers containing ammoniacal cadmium chloride solution resulting in formation of yellow precipitate of cadmium sulphide inside the bubblers.
- the furnace is cooled to room temperature and the product coke/char is discharged.
- the different components of the device are:
