| Abstract | Utilization of low rank coal has been limited so far, due to its high moisture content, low calorific value and spontaneous combustibility. Some lignite has the feature of low sulfur and low ash content. Therefore, it can be turned into an attractive fuel coal, if it is upgraded, using an economical dewatering method. Kobe Steel has been developing upgraded brown coal (UBC) technology since 1980s. By applying the UBC technology for high-moisture coal (total moisture 50wt% or more), it is possible to obtain product moisture 0wt%. It may also be applied to the dehydration of biomass waste Kobe Steel was promoting a UBC demonstration plant (600tons-UBC/day) project, it was completed successfully, and this technology is now ready for commercialization. UBC process and the method for utilization of UBC products are introduced in this paper. |
