Description
Coal desulfurization prior to usage is frequently subjected to pre-processing to achieve clean fuel and reduce environmental impacts. In this study, desulfurization of Machh coal field of Pakistan was carried out with NaOH and HNO3 as leaching agents. The effects of particle size (6-10 Mesh) and solvent concentration (5-30wt%) on sulfur removal were investigated. The results indicated that sulfur recovery increases with increasing mesh size and solvent concentration. The highest decrease in the sulphur was observed of 44.85% with 30 wt% HNO3 and 10 mesh. Sulphur removal was observed 24.72% with NaOH under similar conditions. In comparison, HNO3 was found effective leaching agent when compared to NaOH.
