The carbon structure in coke generally is generally in the form of non-graphitic turbostratic structure, which exhibits isotropic property. There is a lack of information in terms of the 3D carbon structure model of coke/semi-coke and how these structures evolve from hydrocarbon sheets to more stable structures above 500 °C in the coke oven. This review also concludes future research scopes and the limitations of current knowledge.]]> Tue 31 Aug 2021 09:15:32 AEST ]]> Using Three-Dimensional Image Analysis Techniques To Understand the Formation of the Plastic Layer during the Heating of Australian Coking Coal Blends https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:46699 Tue 29 Nov 2022 09:43:12 AEDT ]]> Chemical structure transformation during the later stage of plastic layers during coking using Synchrotron infrared microspectroscopy technique https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38601 2- and sp3-bonded carbons. The results suggested that a dramatic chemical structure change took place during the stages following the plastic layers through to the coke/semi-coke regions. The chemical structure changes were strongly impacted by the properties of the parent coals. The carbon structure changes observed in XPS spectra were in good agreement with the aromatic ring condensation degree, which was indicated by the ratio of out-of-plane aromatic C-H to C=C bonds in aromatic rings. The results showed that the carbon structure evolution took place during the later stages of the thermoplastic ranges, forming the semi-coke.]]> Tue 27 Feb 2024 13:55:06 AEDT ]]> Study of chemical structure transition in the plastic layers sampled from a pilot-scale coke oven using a thermogravimetric analyzer coupled with Fourier transform infrared spectrometer https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:34922 Tue 21 Mar 2023 16:12:47 AEDT ]]> HRTEM analysis of carbon structure evolution during the formation of metallurgical coke and impacts on coke quality https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:54357 Tue 20 Feb 2024 16:26:02 AEDT ]]> A comprehensive study on the transformation of chemical structures in the plastic layers during coking of Australian coals https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:40832 Tue 19 Jul 2022 10:47:22 AEST ]]> A review of the numerical modeling of pulverized coal combustion for high-efficiency, low-emissions (HELE) power generation https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:46263 2 emissions per unit energy generation. They represent some of the primary and intermediate solutions to the world’s energy security. Extensive numerical modeling efforts have been undertaken over the past several decades, which have increased our understanding of the technical problems in HELE boilers, including combustion and boiler performance optimization, ash deposition, and material problems at higher operating temperatures and pressures. Overall, the differences in the physical and chemical models, boiler performance, and ash deposition of oxy-fuel combustion in HELE boilers that recirculate CO2 and H2O in the boilers are also discussed in comparison with the combustion of coal in the air. This Review comprehensively summarizes the current research on numerical modeling to offer a better understanding of the technical aspects and provides future research requirements of HELE coal-fired boilers, including boiler performance optimization, ash deposition, and material problems. The effects of changes in the configuration and operating conditions are discussed, focusing on the optimization of boiler performance in aspects such as unburnt carbon and NOx emissions. The paper also reviews the retrofit and optimization of operating conditions and the burner geometry with the low-NOx coal combustion technologies necessary to operate the HELE power plants. In terms of ash deposition, the development of submodels, including particle sticking and impacting behaviors and their effects on the deposit growth predictions under different temperatures, are discussed. Numerical models of the material oxidation and creep in the austenitic and nickel-based alloys generally used in HELE conditions have been developed using the finite element method to predict the availability of advanced alloys and creep life in the actual service time of the boiler parts. The predictions of oxide scale growth and exfoliation on the steam-side and fire-side and the creep strength are analyzed. The review also identifies some further research requirements in numerical modeling to achieve the optimization of coal combustion processes and address the technical problems in advanced HELE power plant operations.]]> Tue 15 Nov 2022 08:05:43 AEDT ]]> Mechanism of carbon structure transformation in plastic layer and semi-coke during coking of Australian metallurgical coals https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:47032 Tue 13 Dec 2022 14:08:31 AEDT ]]> Influence of functional group structures on combustion behavior of pulverized coal particles https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:40076 Tue 05 Jul 2022 08:28:32 AEST ]]> Synthesis of 3D graphitic carbon foams via pressurized pyrolysis of Victorian brown coal as anode material for Li-ion battery https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:46994 Mon 29 Jan 2024 18:42:05 AEDT ]]> Low-temperature catalytic hydrogen combustion over Pd-Cu / Al₂O₃ : Catalyst optimization and rate law determination https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:50951 Mon 29 Jan 2024 18:24:44 AEDT ]]> Mechanistic study of plastic layer permeability during coking of Australian metallurgical coals https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:50228 Mon 10 Jul 2023 11:13:00 AEST ]]> Advances in catalytic hydrogen combustion research: catalysts, mechanism, kinetics, and reactor designs https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:40192 Fri 29 Jul 2022 15:46:35 AEST ]]> Advances in the understanding of the formation and chemistry of the plastic layer during coke-making: a comprehensive review https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38450 Fri 17 Sep 2021 12:03:28 AEST ]]> A mechanistic study of the formation of plastic layers during the heating of coking coal https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:35458 Fri 16 Aug 2019 14:32:26 AEST ]]>
