Microwave drying of fine coal. Report of Investigations/1986

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5721753
The objective of the research by the Bureau of Mines was to determine the technical feasibility and associated pilot data for drying minus 1/4-in coal with microwave energy at a frequency of 2.45 GHz. The drying data were obtained experimentally on three coal types: bituminous, subbituminous, and lignite. The experiments were performed with a custom-designed conveyorized microwave oven having a continuous-power capability of 12 kW.
