Process For Solidifying Solvent Refined Coal
US Patent:
4666482, May 19, 1987
Filed:
Jan 15, 1986
Appl. No.:
6/819232
Inventors:
Harris H. Gilman - Grand Junction CO
Assignee:
Electric Power Research Institute - Palo Alto CA
International Classification:
F25J 500
US Classification:
62 12
Abstract:
A method and apparatus is provided for efficiently solidifying solvent-refined coal whereby the hot solvent-refined coal in liquid form is contacted in a cooling zone with dry, inert, heat absorbent particulate solids within a rotating structure. The liquid solvent refined coal is solidified upon the particulate solids, separated by abrasion and friction within a separating zone, and the particulate solids are cooled and recycled back into the cooling zone for contact with a fresh supply of liquid solvent refined coal.
