 Hardgrove Grindaibility Index calculator

 It measures the grindaibility of coal and is a qualitative

measure of coal.
 It is referred to in mining beneficiation and utilization of
coal.

 HGI clear to us that this coal has soft texture and hard
texture.
 The grindability of a coal is a measure of its resistance to
crushing.
3
 To measure the HGI, we use the HGI machine.

 Hardgrove Grindaibility Index calculator

 We put 8 grinding balls into

grinding bowl.
 We put this bowl into the
machine and note the result.
 Coal quantity is 50g.
 60 revolution.
 Coal size 30 maicron
 Later we take our sample out
of the machine.
4  When HGI value is high coal
is hard and when HGI value
is low coal is soft.

 If coal has high level of moisture,then coal has a high
level of density.

• We leave our sample in the open air for 24 hours to let
the moisture out.

• We grind the sample.
• Coal size 212micron.
• We heat coal above 100 centigrade.
• Amount of sample 5g.
• Leave it in the lab for an hour.
• Formula:
• Total moisture=IM+SM

 Determination of volatile matter.
12

What is volatile matter.

 Volatile matter in coal refers to the components of coal. Except
for moisture,which are liberated at high temperature in the
absence of air.
 Volatile matter does not include”moisture of coal” but includes
water formed during reaction between Hydrogen and Oxygen in
coal.
 These gases are present in coal:H2,O2,H2O,CO,CO2,N2,CH4
and other Hydrocarbons.

  We first take sample.
13  Volatile matter calculation by moisture free coal sample.
 We take 1g sample.
 We do not leave it to interaction with air,than we leave in machine
without air.Because oxygen does not react with carbon.
 For this,there is too much heat required,For this we put the sample in
the furnace.
 We set the temperature todegrees.
 We leave it in the furnace for 7 minutes.
 In this heat, all its vapors are released.
 We don’t take the sample out of the furnace and cool it in the
atmospheric air, but we make cool in desaketer.
 Then we weigh this sample.

 Determination of ash content in coal

 Ash content determines the amount of non-

combustible material in coal.
 Ash content the waste that is left after coal is
combusted (Burned)
 We first take sample collection.
 Size of sample 212 micron.
 We get sample,after pieceing.
 We take 1g sample.
 Temperature of furnace
18  We leave it sample in furnace for 1h.
 And last we use this equation.

 Why do we need lab safety equipment? Why Safety Equipment is
Important?

 Laboratories are dangerous places. Having the right safety

equipment is important in ensuring the overall health and safety of
workers on a jobsite.

 Safety equipment, also known as personal protective equipment, is

specifically designed to help protect workers against health or safety
risks on the jobsite.

20  By wearing the appropriate safety equipment, workers can decrease

the number of preventable accidents that occur on jobsites every year.

 Head protection.
 Eye and face protection.
 Respiratory protection.
 Hand and Skin protection.
 Hearing protection.
 Fire extinguishers.
 First aid kits.

 What is a sample divider?

 Where a number of incremental

samples have been taken and a large
aggregate sample created the sample
divider may be used to reduce the
total sample size.

23

 What is the working principle of sample divider?

 the feed sample is fed at a controlled rate as a

falling stream that is divided either into one part
or into equal segments by the action of a
“circle” of segmental buckets being rotated
beneath the stream.
 The unit operates in accordance with
internationally recognised sampling protocols.

 Simple Divider

 Thy are rotating dividers and

sample splitters.
 Thy divide all pourable solids so
accurately that the characteristics
composition of each fraction of
the sample corresponds exactly
to that of the original bulk
sample.

 Coal bags.
27
 Coal bags is a close shape which is used for carrying large
amounts of coal samples.
 Simple bag of them is coal STOCK bag
 coal bag has different size and they can to transfer different
Wight .

30 Pulverzer

 What is pulverzer?
 A pulverzer or grinder is a mechanical device for the grinding
of many different types of material.
 For example, a pulverzer mill is used to pulverzer coal for
combustion in the steam-generating furnaces of coal power
plants.
