Coal Enhancement Process

US Patent:
2014004, Feb 20, 2014
Filed:
Jul 11, 2013
Appl. No.:
13/940026
Inventors:
Larry Hunt - Davie FL, US
Anton Dilo Paul - Pittsburgh PA, US
Florentino J. Mendez - Oklahoma City OK, US
Alejandro Garcia - Oklahoma City OK, US
International Classification:
C10L 5/04
US Classification:
44621
Abstract:
The present process produces a clean burning coal from low grade coal and has a higher heating value per unit mass, as compared to the feed stock coal. The clean coal may be used in coal-fired power plants, industrial boilers, and homes since it produces fewer or none of the emissions commonly associated with coal burning devices. The process treats coal prior to its combustion and removes about 90 percent of the pollutants. These pollutants are removed within 6 to 18 minutes, many of which may be recycled into products such as roofing tar, chemical feed stocks, and light hydrocarbons that can be used as gaseous fuels. The final product is suitable for use in homes where coal is used for cooking and heating, and significantly improves the health of those who have previously been exposed to toxic fumes from burning uncleaned coal in their homes. The process is fueled by its own by-products, recycles heat, and reduces coal weight to save energy in transporting it to the user.
