<p>Measurements are taken of moisture, BTU/lb (British Thermal Units per pound), ash forms of sulfur, volatile material, grindability, and absorption properties of any of a wide variety of mine-run solid fuels. Using that information, a dry electromagnetic process technology has been developed that can be controlled and monitored to selectively alter and enhance solid fuel properties for the application in question. Specific changes include altering the mechanical structure and chemical composition of solid fuels such as coal, coal coke or petroleum coke, increasing the BTU/lb to optimum levels, decreasing all forms of sulfur, and decreasing ash, while maintaining the BTU/lb of the fuels. A new family of solid fuel designer coals not found in nature can be produced via these methods and apparatus. 222 204 210 PROCESS AIR HANDLING CONTROL SYSTEM _224 MICROWAVE COLLECTION GENERATOR 26& STORAGE FEEDBACK CONVEYOR GAS -12 SYSTEM COLLECTION "2 214''MITR & STORAGE BY-PRODUCT -228 216 , TEMPERATURE STORAGE 218, w ASH ~' AALYER ROCIESSED 220,SPECTRO-0EMICAL Fig. 4</p> |
