Availability of good quality coals is declining. Firing of low grade coals with frequent variation of quality in thermal power stations is problematic and involves environmental pollution hazards. Low grade coals can be refined through solvent extraction. Solvent refined coal obtained through solvent extraction is a clean and high calorific value coal with a uniform quality. This has good flammability characteristics because of its high volatile matter contents and low ash contents. Batch extraction of low grade coal earn Dies obtained from two different thermal cower stations in new Delhi, in anthracene oil (a coal derived solvent) has been reported. Semi-continuous extraction of these coals by successive extraction techniques using anthracene oil (AO) followed by liquid paraffin (LP) solvents haB also been carried out and reported. Kinetic studies of the extraction of coal in AO has been performed. About 35% coal was rendered extractable through semicoatinuous extraction. The residual coals obtained after solvent refining were found to be free flawing and contained sufficient volatile matter for making these suitable for firing in fluidized bed combuators for integrated combined cycle power generation.
