Measurement of Fundamental Properties Characterizing Coal Minerals and Fireside Deposits. Second Quarterly Technical Progress Report, 1 July 1981-30 September 1981

摘要

This report is the second quarterly technical progress report on a project to develop detailed data on the physical characteristics and mineral constituents of a low-rank coal and of the surface deposits and flyash which result from burning the coal. It covers the progress made during the period July-September 1981. Milestone 1a, Fuel Selection, activities resulted in selection of coals for the test program by DOE. Work at B and W started the process of procurement of coal samples. Under Milestone 2, Mineral Identification and Production of Mineral Modified Coal, a subcontract between Babcock and Wilcox and Penn State University was fully executed by both parties and sent to DOE for approval. Work is in progress and continues on schedule for Milestone 3a, Combustion Facility Preparation. Final design and fabrication of parts for modification of the B and W combustion facility are about 95% complete.
