Reduction of sulfur content in coal structure by chemical methods and investigation of test results

摘要

occurs. This shows a toxic effect. For this reason, an excess of S (sulfur) in the coal content is undesirable and the low sulfur content increases the quality of the coal. One of the methods used to reduce the sulfur content in coal content is the chemical enrichment (leaching) method. In this method, the coal sample is treated with a suitable solvent and separated from the undesired impurities in its content. In this study; chemical analysis of coal sample taken from Erzurum-Senkaya area, is determined % ash,% humidity, % caloric values. Then, chemical methods (leaching) are applied on the coal samples with equal amounts of Sodium Hydroxide and Potassium Hydroxide at 100°C-500 °C at 4 different temperatures. As a result, pyrite (FeS
