Abstract

A fluidized-bed bioreactor system for the conversion of coal into microbially solubilized coal products. The fluidized-bed bioreactor continuously or periodically receives coal and bio-reactants and provides for the production of microbially solubilized coal products in an economical and efficient manner. An oxidation pretreatment process for rendering coal uniformly and more readily susceptible to microbial solubilization may be employed with the fluidized-bed bioreactor. 2 figs.

Coal feed system for a fluidized bed boiler

Patent Blaskowski, H.J.

An individual cell of a fluidized bed includes a static bed disposed immediately below the fluidization region with a coal feed system, which incorporates means for igniting the coal, embedded within the static bed. Coal is fed to the static bed through a coal pipe which extends vertically upward through the bed support plate into said bed and which terminates therein in a coal distributor having a series of openings around its circumference. The coal is swirled as it flows upward through the coal pipe with resultant centrifugal force imparted to the coal ensuring that the coal will be propelledmore »« less
Process and system for drying coal in a fluidized bed by partial combustion

Patent Blake, J.H.

A process and system are disclosed for drying coal in a fluidized bed wherein the heat necessary for drying is provided by partial combustion of the coal in the bed. Proper control of the reaction parameters, particularly reaction temperature, provides an acceptably high drying rate along with an acceptably low production of pollutants in the off-gases. A particular embodiment of the invention provides for cooling of the dried coal by mixing such dried coal with an additional stream or additional streams of undried coal.
