The pyrolysis of low rank coal (LRC) , enteromorpha (EN) and their mixture were carried out in a special prolysis equipment. The experiments showed that the maximum tar yield of blends was 11.39% with a EN ration of 30%, which increased by 28.61% compared to LRC pyrolysis alone and 8.87% compared to calculated value. The thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) of LRC, EN and their mixture indicated that there was significant synergistic effect in the co-pyrolysis process of LRC and EN during 240~750°C. The relative maximum value of synergistic effect was 18.5%. Kinetics analysis showed there was compensation effect between activation energy and pre-exponential factor of co-pyrolysis. The mix of LRC and EN enhanced the reaction activity and lowers the reaction rate. Synergistic effect mainly was reflected in enhancing the reaction activity of co-pyrolysis.

Simulation of low rank coal drying with pore network method in isothermal condition.Indonesia has large coal reserve with most of them are low rank coal. Low rank coal has low energy content (< 4,800 kcal/kg) and high moisture content (> 25%). High moisture content of coal will make a problem for coal conversion processing to be a main energy source such as power plant  so that the moisture of coal must be removed from inside of coal. The moisture content in the coal can be removed by drying based on drying kinetic (drying rate). Drying kinetic is influenced by several variables such as hot fluid velocity and temperature, size and pore structure of material. In this model, sample of low rank coal are analyzed to obtain the data of pore size distribution. The size of pore were used 40 and 100 nm, the pore length was 100 nm. Four different pore structures were simulated by pore network modelling. From pore network simulation, the structure with large pore had long time for drying constant period, but the structure with small pore had short time for drying constant period.Keywords: coal, drying, pore network, moisture, vapour diffusion. AbstrakIndonesia merupakan negara yang memiliki cadangan  batubara yang besar yang dapat digunakan sebagai sumber energi utama untuk industri, tetapi batubara yang dimiliki oleh Indonesia sebagian besar merupakan batubara muda yang memiliki kandungan energi yang rendah (< 4.800 kcal/kg) serta kandungan air yang tinggi (> 25%). Kandungan air batubara yang tinggi menyulitkan dalam proses konversi batubara untuk dijadikan sebagai sumber energi utama seperti pada sistem tenaga. Kandungan air dalam batubara dapat dikurangi dengan pengeringan dengan mengamati data kinetika pengeringan berupa laju pengeringan. Laju pengeringan batubara dipengaruhi oleh beberapa variabel antara lain kecepatan fluida panas, temperatur fluida panas, ukuran partikel yang dikeringkan serta struktur pori-pori dari partikel yang dikeringkan. Beberapa sampel batubara muda dianalisis strukturnya untuk mendapatkan data distribusi pori. Ukuran pori yang digunakan terdiri atas 2 macam yaitu 40 dan 100 nm serta panjang pori 500 nm.  Empat macam struktur pori disimulasikan dengan metode rangkaian pori. Dari simulasi rangkaian pori memperlihatkan bahwa ukuran pori yang besar akan memberikan waktu yang lebih lama untuk laju pengeringan tetap sedangkan struktur pori dengan  ukuran pori  kecil akan memberikan laju pengeringan tetap yang lebih pendek waktunya.Kata Kunci: batubara, pengeringan, rangkaian pori, kandungan air, difusi uap.

Low rank coal is an important energy resource in the world, particularly in the developing countries. But its high water content causes a waste of energy and serious environmental pollution, which restricts its applications. In order to improve the efficiency of the low rank coal and reduce pollution, the drying processes for low rank coal are urgently needed. This paper presented a review of the general drying processes for low rank coal. In the review, the newly-developed vibrating fluidized bed (VFB) drying process was emphasized. This novel VFB drying process which can be used in large-scale industrial production has several advantages, such as high speed, high drying intensity and low pollution. Moreover, two VFB researches reported by the authors were also introduced. In these researches, the dynamic behavior of VFB was simulated by two commercial codes of ADAMS and ANSYS separately. According to the simulation results, the exciting force and the structure of sieve box were optimized.

An overview of the current status of low-rank coal upgrading technologies is presented in the paper, particularly with respect to drying and dewatering procedures. In order to calculate the significant parameters of the moisture removal process, a model of convective coal drying in a fluid bed, based on the two-phase (bubbling) fluidization model proposed by Kunii and Levenspiel, is developed and presented. Product-specific data (intraparticle mass transfer, gas-solid moisture equilibrium) related to the particular coal variety addressed here (Kolubara lignite) are obtained through preliminary investigations. Effective thermal conductivity of the packed bed as defined by Zehner/Bauer/Schl?nder is used to define heat transfer mechanisms occurring in the suspension phase of the fluid bed. A completely new set of experimental data obtained has been successfully used to validate the model additionally.
