Electron beam coal desulfurization

摘要

Converting both organic and inorganic sulfur compounds in coal to removable forms utilizing electron beam irradiation. The removable forms of sulfur include elemental suflur, gaseous compounds, and water-soluble compounds. Coal is pulverized and slurried and introduced into the electron beam reaction chamber where the conversion reactions take place. As a further benefit, coal dechlorination inherently results.
