Figure 1 shows a simplified block flow diagram (BFD) of a methanol (MeOH) plant based on coal feedstock. Syngas from the gasifier is cooled by generating high pressure (HP) steam in the high temperature (HT) gas cooling system before being water quenched and scrubbed to remove fine particulates. The scrubbed syngas then goes through a sour …
In the proposed flowsheet, pyrite could be concentrated from waste produced by a coal processing plant. Pyrite oxidization would provide the acids required for the REE heap leaching. The heap leach process can be supplemented with additional acid if necessary to achieve the desired pH.

The first commercial ammonia plant based on the Haber-Bosch process was built by BASF at Oppau, Germany. The plant went on-stream on Sept. 9, 1913, with a production capacity of 30 m.t./day. Figure 1 is a flowsheet of the first commercial ammonia plant. The reactor contained an internal heat exchanger in addition to those shown on the schematic.
The flowsheet for a coal preparation plant can typically be represented by a series of sequential unit operations for sizing, cleaning, and dewatering (Fig. 18.1).This sequence of steps is repeated for each size fraction, since the processes used in modern plants have a limited range of applicability in terms of particle size (Osborne, 1988).As a …

The United States currently operates 268 coal preparation plants in 14 states according to the latest annual census of coal processing plants conducted by Coal Age [3].The facilities, which are primarily located in West ia (80), Kentucky (56), and Pennsylvania (44), represent a total installed feed capacity of over …
In the coal preparation plant design, there is a clear trend toward a simpler process flowsheet employing larger equipment in single-unit processes. This trend has been driven by the need to reduce coal preparation costs while maintaining an acceptable process performance.
Addressing coal research and design is an important stage in construction and operation of coal preparation plants. At present time the calculation of flow sheets …
With regard to the screening technology, the consequences are primarily in the direction of larger mass flows and the processing of earth-moist coal with 0 – 8 % water content, as well as shifts to finer cut points. In a coal processing plant, the number of different screens may be 50 or more. Many of these are dewatering screens.
Many modern coal preparation plants operating today are as complex as industrial facilities once employed only by the chemical processing industry. Figure 2 shows a simplified …
Coal and coal byproducts produced annually contain a sufficient amount of rare earth elements (REEs) to meet current U.S. demand. The REEs exist in the form of minerals, ion-adsorbed elements associated with clays, and chemically bonded elements within the organic coal matrix or host mineral. Researchers at three universities …
