Volatile matter in coal refers to the components of coal, except for moisture, which are liberated at high temperature in the absence of air. This is usually a mixture of short- and long-chain hydrocarbons, aromatic hydrocarbons and some sulfur. Volatile matter also evaluate the adsorption application of an activated carbon. The volatile matter of coal is determined under rigidly controlled standards. In Australian and British laboratories this involves heating the coal sample to 900 ± 5 °C (1650 ±10 °F) for 7 min. Also as the rank of coal increases the volatile matter decreases (AMK).
Question details (Performance):The steam pipe vibrates violently and has a dull impact sound.Answer: fault reason: There is air in pipeline ; automatic air vent valve is not turned on; or it is out of order. Troubleshooting: Check all the air release valves on the water supply pipe and the air release valves on the top of the boiler tube for gas storage. If the valve fails, it should be replaced immediately.
