TY - JOUR T1 - ENRICHMENT OF SİVAS/GEMEREK LIGNITE COAL BY OIL AGGLOMERATION USING DIFFERENT VEGETABLE OILS AU - Kaya, Özlem AU - Taşdöğen Cebe, Neriman PY - 2023 DA - September DO - 10.59313/jsr-a.1334096 JF - Journal of Scientific Reports-A JO - JSR-A PB - Kütahya Dumlupinar University WT - DergiPark SN - 2687-6167 SP - 285 EP - 295 IS - 054 LA - en AB - The aim of this study was to investigate the use of various vegetable oils (almond oil, hazelnut oil, poppy oil, soybean (soya) oil, sunflower oil) for Sivas/Gemerek (in Turkey) lignite coal by oil agglomeration. The study examined the effect of bridging liquid type and dosage on oil agglomeration. Vegetable oil dosages of 2%, 5%, 10% and 20% were investigated in oil agglomeration experiments. The agglomeration of lignite coal with these bridging liquids was evaluated based on yield, combustible recovery and ash rejection. The agglomeration performances of these vegetable oils were compared. The highest ash rejection (70.30%) was observed by using soybean (soya) at 20% of the bridging liquid dosage. The yield and combustible recovery of lignite coal were achieved 36.46% yield and 38.05% combustible recovery in this soybean (soya) oil dosage, respectively. The lignite coal ash content was reduced from 19.08% to 15.54% under these optimum conditions.
