Coal gasification is one of the most promising clean coal technologies. However, gasification process also produces a huge amount of solid waste of high carbon content, named coal gasification fine slag. The coal gasification fine slag is mainly handled by landfilling, which is not only a hazardous pollution, but also wasting the energy from residual carbon. Developing a technology to utilize coal gasification fine slag and recover the residual carbon is becoming essential for an eco-friendly coal chemical industry. In this paper, the enrichment behavior of residual carbon in coal gasification fine slag by a spiral separator is studied. The raw coal gasification fine slag sample and separator products are characterized on particle size distribution, size-depending ash content, reactivity, micromorphology and porous structure. The experimental results show that the spiral separator is efficient to remove ash and enriched carbonaceous components in coal gasification fine slag by separating feed (100%) into concentrate (81.2%), middlings (8.8%), and tailings (10.08%), where the ash content in tailings is up to 90%, accounting for 18.5% of total ash in feeding. The beneficial product "concentrate" has a good distribution of size-depending ash content, that most combustibles are enriched in these particles of diameter100 μm. After spiral separator, the concentrate products have a more pure and developed porous structure with the surface area increasing from 199.8 m |
