The high moisture content limits the large-scale utilization of lignite. Hydrothermal dehydration (HTD) has been confirmed as an effective method to improve the quality of lignite for further utilization. In this study, the effects of the changes in the lignite interface properties caused by the HTD modified final temperature on the slurry ability were investigated in the range of 160-200 °C. The results indicated that with the gradual rise of the HTD modified final temperature, the content of the carboxyl groups and phenolic hydroxyl groups on the surface of lignite decreased by 21.95 and 36.34%, respectively. In the meantime, the atomic ratio of oxygen/carbon, the content of equilibrium moisture, and the thickness of the hydrated film were reduced from 0.293, 14.63%, and 34.26 nm to 0.252, 9.43%, and 13.33 nm, respectively. Therefore, these changes of interfacial properties improved the slurry ability of lignite, with higher fixed-viscosity solid concentration, lower yield stress, increased pseudo-plasticity, and gradually decreased static stability of the prepared lignite coal water slurry. hydrothermal dehydration; slurry ability; oxygen-containing functional groups; hydrated film.

Effect of Hydrothermal Dehydration on the Slurry Ability of Lignite.

In this study, in order to improve the flocculation efficiency of natural organic flocculant in coal mine wastewater, guar gum (GG) and [2-(methacryloyloxy) ethyl] trimethyl ammonium chloride (DMC)were used to synthesize a type of graft copolymer of GG with DMC (GG-g-DMC) with flocculating function by free radical polymerization under ultraviolet (UV) light initiation conditions. Performance testing and structural characterization of the composites including FTIR, NMR, XRD, SEM, TG, and XPS were conducted to verify the synthesis of the graft polymer. The GG-g-DMC was applied to treat coal mine wastewater, according to the sedimentation index and the optimal flocculation solution was determined, and the flocculation settling mechanism was studied using focused beam reflectance measurement (FBRM), Zeta potentiometer and adhesion force meter. The results indicated that GG-g-DMC synthesis by UV-initiated polymerization was feasible and the settling effect increased significantly; 0.5 mg/g(s) GG-g-DMC 4 was excellent in all aspects, its sedimentation speed reached 20.64 cm/min, the light transmittance was 95.00%, and the compression layer thickness was 1.89 cm; the mechanism is mainly the synergy of charge neutralization, bridging, and improve hydrophobicity.
