Comprehensive study on the kinetics and modelling of superheated steam drying of Belchatow lignite from Poland

Low calorific value of lignite, mostly attributed to high moisture content, undermines usability of this low rank coal. Upgrading the quality of this energy carrier, which benefits coal-fired power plant's thermal efficiency, can be effectively realized by means of drying. The kinetics of s...
