| Abstract: | |
| Having so many large reserves of coal, Pakistan is facing an energy crisis because coal is not being utilized. The main reason is that during coal incineration in power plants, high sulfur content of coal poses serious environmental problems owing to sulfur dioxide emission. It causes acid rain which has harmful effects on lakes and vegetation and causes corrosion. The need for sulfur removal is to sell coal to customers whether they have installed pollution control measures or not, to reduce transportation and combustion cost, and to reduce load on flue gas scrubber. So, leaching is one of the most common methods employed for coal desulfurization. Alkali leaching is an effective method for demineralization of coal by reducing most of the mineral-rich constituents. The reason for attacking the alkali into the major minerals may be due to the presence of hydroxyl ion in the leachants, which has high affinity towards the clay bearing minerals. Regeneration of spent alkali and acids reduces the cost of chemicals in the cleaning method. The spent solution contains not only silicate and aluminates but also contains Fe, Al, and trace elements of Zn, Cr, Mn, Ni, Cu, Ba, Ti etc. The regenerated reagents from spent solution can be reused which is likely to be the best way to develop a commercial process for removal of minerals from the coal. | |
