Handleability Assessment of Selected Coals Using Durham Cone and Handleability Monitor

摘要

In this project the handle ability of several coal samples was studied using the Durham Cone and the recently developed Handleability Monitor. The effects of the addition of fines, increased moisture and different size distributions were examined. The understanding of the behavior of fines in presence of moisture was evaluated in view of surface properties of fines. The emphasis was placed on the wettability of fines to explain some coal behavior in handling. The comparison was made between two methods.
