Standard Test For Ash From Petroleum Products , D482
Ash contents is defined as the inorganic residue that remains after combustion of the oil in air at specific high temperature. Ash ranges from 0.1% to 0.2%. The ash content of a fuel is a measure of the amount of inorganic noncombustible material it contains. Some of the ash forming constituents occur naturally in crude oil: others are present as a result of refining or contamination during storage or distribution. For instance, it could be due to the presence of compounds of the following elements: vanadium, sodium, calcium, magnesium, zinc, lead, iron, nickel. Or it could be picked up by the crude oil during storage and handling. Metals content above 200 ppm are considered to be significant but the variations are very large. The higher the ash content the higher is the tendency of the crude oil to form sludge or sediment. Oils containing more than 0.05% ash are considered high ash oils; those containing less than 0.02% ash are considered low ash oils.

This document discusses solid fuels, with a focus on coal and coke. It defines primary and secondary fuels, and how they are classified based on physical state as solid, liquid, or gas. Coal forms from decayed vegetation over millions of years and is composed mainly of carbon. Coke is produced from coal through carbonization and is preferred for metallurgical processes due to its strength, porosity, and removal of undesirable sulfur. The document covers proximate and ultimate analysis methods to determine the composition of coal and evaluates quality based on factors like moisture, volatile matter, ash, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and sulfur content. High-temperature carbonization is used to produce strong, porous metallurgical coke while retaining purity.
Fuels & fueling methods used in the blast furnaceAbhijeet Singh
1. The document discusses various fuels used in blast furnaces for the production of pig iron, including metallurgical coke, natural gas, coke oven gas, and liquid oil-coal slurries.
2. Metallurgical coke is the primary fuel as it provides both heat as a reductant and carbon monoxide for the reduction of iron oxides. Physical and chemical properties of coke that impact blast furnace operations are described.
3. Alternate solid and liquid/gaseous fuels that can be used include briquetted form coke, fuel oils, natural gas, and coke oven gas injected through pipes in the stack region. The use of these alternate fuels
Coke is a porous, high-strength carbon material produced by heating coal in ovens without oxygen. It is a key material used in blast furnaces for ironmaking. Metallurgical coke is made specifically from bituminous coal that can withstand high heat and pressures. The coking process involves heating coal to around 2000°F for 12-36 hours to drive off impurities. Coke is then used as both a fuel and reducing agent in blast furnaces, where its combustion produces carbon monoxide to reduce iron ore into molten iron. High quality coke is necessary to support blast furnace operations and produce quality iron.
The FASTMET process uses a Rotary Hearth Furnace to rapidly reduce iron ore pellets, fines, and steel mill waste into direct reduced iron using pulverized coal. Agglomerates consisting of iron ore, waste, and coal are heated to 1350°C in the furnace to promote reduction reactions that convert the iron oxide into iron within 8-16 minutes. The direct reduced iron produced has a metallization over 85% and can be fed directly into a melting furnace or blast furnace. The FASTMET process results in a high reduction rate due to the high temperatures, efficient heat transfer, and intimate contact between carbon and iron oxide within the composite agglomerates.
This document summarizes information about solid fuels and the process of carbonization of coal. It discusses how caking coals are heated in the absence of air to produce coke, a solid residue richer in carbon. There are two types of carbonization processes - low temperature carbonization produces semi-coke while high temperature carbonization produces hard metallurgical coke. The document also describes the beehive oven and modern Otto Hoffman oven methods for manufacturing coke and recovering valuable byproducts like tar, ammonia, naphthalene and benzene. Coal washing processes like dense medium separators, jigs and cyclones are also summarized to remove impurities and increase the heating value of coal.
The document discusses the impact of coal quality on plant life and performance. It states that most power stations now use imported coal due to its higher calorific value, lower ash content, and lower price per unit of energy. However, using imported coal in boilers designed for high ash Indian coal has led to operation problems and outages. The document recommends blending imported and Indian coal at a ratio of 30% imported coal, as studies showed a similar burning profile to the boiler's design. Blending helps utilize the benefits of imported coal while avoiding issues from using it solely.

1. A cooling curve shows how the temperature of a steel sample changes over time as it cools and can be superimposed on an I-T (iron-temperature) diagram to show the microstructural changes that occur.
2. Different cooling rates, represented by different cooling curves, result in different microstructures - rapid cooling leads to martensite formation while slower cooling produces pearlite or bainite.
3. The I-T diagram and cooling curves are used to understand the microstructural changes in eutectoid, hypo-eutectoid, and hyper-eutectoid steels that occur during heat treatment processes like annealing, normalizing, and quenching.
how to find Flash point and fire pointAbdul Rahman
This lab report details procedures for determining the flash point and fire point of a petroleum product sample using an open cup apparatus. The flash point is the lowest temperature at which the vapors ignite briefly, while the fire point is the lowest temperature at which the vapors will sustain burning. For the given sample, the flash point was determined to be 70°C and the fire point 84°C. The measurements characterize fire hazards and are useful for product identification and contamination detection.
Underground coal gasification (UCG) is an industrial process that converts coal into a combustible gas without extracting the coal from the ground. It involves drilling wells into an unmined coal seam, injecting oxidants to ignite the coal and produce gas, and extracting the product gas through separate production wells. UCG offers advantages over traditional coal mining by avoiding large-scale soil removal and reducing environmental impacts after a site is exhausted. However, contaminants produced could potentially leach into groundwater, requiring careful site selection to prevent aquifer contamination.

Liquid penetration inspection is a nondestructive testing method used to detect surface cracks and flaws in materials. It works by applying a liquid penetrant that seeps into surface openings, then applying a developer to draw the penetrant out of flaws so they are visible. The process involves cleaning, applying penetrant, allowing it to dwell, removing excess penetrant, applying developer, and inspecting under light. It can find flaws in both metallic and nonmetallic, magnetic and nonmagnetic materials. While effective for surface flaws, it cannot detect subsurface flaws so other methods may be needed.

swelling index
1. Lab report Energy Engineering lab
Title:
To determine the swelling index of coal
Apparatus:
Transparent crucible
Gas burner
stand
Theory:
Free swelling index (FSI) is an important parameter for coke ability and combustion of coals.
The free swelling index in British Standards Index (BSI) nomenclature (the crucible swelling
index number (CSN) in ISO nomenclature) is a measure of increase in the volume of coal
when heated, with the exclusion of air. This parameter is useful in evaluating coals for coking
and combustion. This parameter is useful in evaluating coals for coking and combustion.
Coals with a low free swelling index (0-2) are not suitable for coke manufacture. Coals with
high swelling numbers (+8) cannot be used by themselves to produce coke, as the resultant
coke is usually weak and will not support the loads imposed within the blast furnace.
When bituminous coals are heated, they develop plastic properties at about 350 °C and as a
result. Exhibit fluidity, swelling, expansion and contraction in volume and after carbonization
produce a coherent residue the strength of which depends on the ranking of the coal. This
plastic property of coals is commonly indicated in the free swelling index,
When many bituminous coals are heated, they soften and form a plastic mass that swells and
resolidifies into a porous solid. Coals that exhibit such behaviour are called caking coals.
Strongly caking coals, which yield a solid product (coke) with properties suitable for use in a
blast furnace, are called coking coals. All coking coals are caking, but not all caking coals
are not coking coal.
Procedure:
I took the crucible and directly placed it on flame. After heating sometime it was transferred
to the table, took the balance. Weighted it in cold state. Level it by tapping it on solid surface
rotating it betweens taps. Cover the crucible with lid and it upright silica triangle. Support in
the draft directly; cover the gas flame for time required for burning the volatile matter die out,
but in any case not less than 2.5 minutes. Remove the coke bottom carefully and remove the
carbon residue remaining in the crucible due to ignition.
Swelling index of coal Page | 1
2. Lab report Energy Engineering lab
Result:
There is no swelling in coal.
Discussion:
There is no swelling in the coal. Because this is inferior type of coal. So there Is no
swelling in this type.
The temperature of crucible should be reached to 850°C within 2.5 minutes. But the
gas pressure here is low as compared required.
The apparatus which is available here for swelling index determination is not proper.
