Lignite is a kind of low rank coal with high moisture content and low net heating value, which is mainly used for electric power generation. However, the thermal efficiency of power plants firing lignite directly is very low. Pre-drying is a proactive option, dehydrating raw lignite to raise its...

Pre-drying of lignite before feeding to the boiler is a potential way to increase the net efficiency of lignite-fired power plants. Lignite pre-drying is, however, a high energy consumption process with a high risk of spontaneous ignition. If the lignite is dried at low temperature, the...
