The combustion stability of pulverized coal is very essential for utility boilers. That is the key issue to keep the operation of the whole power-generation unit in a safe state. The amount of volatile matter is used to anticipate the combustion state of pulverized coal. As a widely accepted concept, higher volatile matter content would result in more stable combustion state. But in some cases, the coal with high volatile matter content led to poor combustion states, even resulted in the flameout of the burner. More method is needed to judge the coal and to predict the combustion stability. With research on the approximate analysis of the coal composition, the heat value of volatile matter was calculated. Such heat value varies obviously for different kinds of coal. The ratio of the heat value of volatile matter to the heat value of fixed carbon is supposed to describe the combustion stability of pulverized coal. The application of the method judges the coal better than using the amount of volatile matter alone.

Taking into consideration the whole history of geological development of the Western Donbas, data on composition and grade of С12 series coal involved information about the geotectonic development of the Basin. To satisfy the objectives, a system of research methods, covering petrographic, computational, statistical, chronological, comparative and other methods, has been applied. In the process of identification of the petrographic composition and grade of series С12coal on the territory of the Prydniprovia Block, and determination of lateral regularities of their change as well as change in stratigraphic section of the Lower Carboniferous, data of petrographic as well as chemical and technological indices of the coal seam c1 were generalized along with data of all seams of С13 series. The activities helped define genetic features of series С12coal as well as stratigraphic and lateral regularities of changes in the coal composition. The differences in the petrographic composition as well as in the chemical and technological characteristics of series С12 and С13 are indicative of dissimilar conditions of formation of their peat depositions. It has been determined that compared with С13 series coal, the coal of С12 series contains more humidity and fewer mineral impurities. It is characterized by higher values of sulfur content, volatile-matter content, and combustion heat. The ultimate composition of coal seams of С12series is characterized by smaller values of carbon and oxygen contents as well as greater hydrogen content. The conclusions on common features and differences in the petrographic composition as well as chemical and technological features of coal seams of С12and С13 series, and regularities of their changes over the area of the seam occurrence was assessed.

Coke producers often face a shortage of valuable grades of coals, i.e. coking coals. This paper examines the possibility to obtain a coking additive by applying delayed coking to various types of heavy petroleum residues. The paper also gives a comparative description. Five types of heavy petroleum residue from the KINEF oil refinery were used in the experiments that aimed to produce carbon material. They included vacuum residue ELOU-AVT-6, vacuum residue S-1000 resultant from the hydrocracking process, visbreaker bottoms from the S-3000 unit, and two mixtures of the ELOU-AVT-6 unit products: a mixture of vacuum residue and third vacuum cut; and a mixture of vacuum residue, third vacuum cut and atmospheric residue. The carbon material obtained from all the above types of raw materials was analyzed for quality; an X-ray diffraction analysis was carried out; and the interplanar spacings d002 and d110 were calculated, as well as the linear sizes of Lc and La crystallites. The coking additive obtained instead of the typical petroleum coke was found to meet the specification. Thus, the volatile matter content in it is within the range from 15 to 25 wt%. This additive can be used in steel production instead of coking coal. The coking additive from a mixture of vacuum residue, third vacuum cut and atmospheric residue has the highest content of volatile matter (19.30%), while the coking additive from the visbreaking residue from the S-3000 has the lowest volatile matter content (16.15%). The latter is due to the fact that the primary petroleum material was subjected to light thermal cracking. It is shown that as the composition of the heavy petroleum residue changes, so do the properties of the resultant coking additive: a higher fraction of the low-boiling components in the feedstock is associated with a higher volatile matter content; the carbon materials produced from vacuum residue have a higher microhardness; the coking product produced from the visbreaker bottoms has a lower porosity compared with the product obtained from the vacuum residue. This research was carried out as part of a governmental assignment of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation in the framework of the following research project: 0792-2020-0010 “Fundamentals of innovative processing techniques to obtain environmentally-friendly motor fuels and innovative carbon materials with variable macro- and microstructure of the mesophase from heavy hydrocarbon materials”. The research was carried out at the laboratory of the Shared Knowledge Centre of the Saint Petersburg Mining University.
