On the construction of coal chemical engineering laboratories
Thread Content
Dear teachers: Regarding which projects should be established in the coal chemical engineering laboratory, could some of you give me some advice? Thank you
Gas analysis room, drying room, balance room, distillation room, chemical product analysis room, and so on – these are determined based on your products.
What coal chemical engineering experiments can be carried out in the laboratory? Thank you for the guidance from the expert
In laboratories, ordinary laboratories do not have the facilities necessary to conduct coal chemical engineering experiments; however, the dry distillation of coal is possible, as is the purification of coal gas
Coal chemical engineering is established on the foundation of inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, physical chemistry, chemical thermodynamics, principles of chemical engineering, coal chemistry, and coal chemical processing technology. Therefore, the experiments required for these supports must be in place; generally, coal chemistry experiments are more focused on specific aspects, including the industrial analysis of coal, the elemental analysis of coal, and the dry distillation of coal. Construction projects can be designed based on the courses offered and local characteristics.
I’m not sure what level the laboratory created by the original poster aims to achieve, so I’d like to visit relevant institutions to learn from their experience
Industrial analysis； Total sulfur determination ； Calorimetry ； Determination of the expansion order of bituminous coal crucibles ； Determination of bituminous coal caking index ； Determination of coal ash fusibility ； Gas composition analysis ； Identification of microscopic coal petrographic components. . . .
A coal chemical engineering laboratory must need quite a number of special equipment, right? Where can such testing equipment be purchased? For example: coal gasification, coal carbonization, coal tar synthesis, etc
The vast majority of coal chemistry laboratories are primarily used for industrial analysis of coal, elemental analysis of coal, analysis of raw gas, and analysis of slag composition. Except for large laboratories.
The construction of a coal chemical engineering laboratory can include facilities for gasification of coal, liquefaction of coal, production of syngas, dimethyl ether, methanol, synthetic ammonia, MTO, and so on. The necessary equipment includes gasifiers, reaction vessels, fixed-bed reactors, distillation units, drying equipment, filtration systems, chromatography instruments, elemental analysis devices, balances, and so on. If there is sufficient funding, it is also possible to add equipment for catalyst characterization.
Coal chemical engineering laboratories should not be turned into mere analysis laboratories; instead, they should focus on conducting research projects. The Shanxi Institute of Coal Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences; Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics; East China University of Science and Technology; Zhejiang University; the General Coal Research Institute; and Taiyuan University of Technology are some of the major institutions engaged in coal chemical research – you can go there to exchange ideas.
