Moisture may occur in four possible forms within coal: Surface moisture: water held on the surface of coal particles or macerals; Hygroscopic moisture: water held by capillary action within the microfractures of the coal; Decomposition moisture: water held within the coal's decomposed organic compounds
Moisture can also cause coal to freeze in rail cars in the winter, which can be a major issue in power plants in colder climates. Moisture is used to define low-rank coals in some rank classification systems, and is an important criteria for determining coal grade in low-rank lignite coals.
[PDF]3. Moisture in coal contributes to spontaneous heating because it assists the oxidation process. Moisture content should be limited to 3 percent; sulphur content should be limited to 1 percent, "as mined." Coal having high moisture content should be segregated and used as quickly as possible.

Effects of moisture in coal on pulverized coal combustion characteristics. The results show that as the moisture increases, flame temperature and NOx mole fraction decrease, while O2 mole fraction increases in the region near the burner, and the peaks of the flame temperature and .
Coal is the primary fuel for producing Electricity. Some of the characteristics of coal have profound influence on the day to day working and economics of the power plant. This article discusses Calorific Value and Moisture. Calorific value is the most important parameter that determines the economics of the power plant operation. It indicates the amount of heat that is released when the coal ...

The remaining tests were conducted at varying moisture contents to investigate the effects of moisture content on the self-heating rate from a start temperature of ~25°C. To do this, the drying times in the laboratory oven were varied as required to allow the coal sample to attain the desired moisture content. This included a test on dry coal

Effects of Moisture and Hydrogen Content on the Heating Value of Fuels. The LHV of a fuel increases with increasing the hydrogen content due to cause combustion water. Moisture in a fuel generally decreases its HHV. The LHV of a fuel increases with increasing the sulfur content due to cause SO x gases absorbed by water.
Aug 01, 2001 · Effects of moisture in coal on pulverized coal combustion characteristics The results show that as the moisture increases, flame temperature and NO x mole fraction decrease, while O 2 mole fraction increases in the region near the burner, and the peaks of the flame temperature and NO x mole fraction shift downstream.
Effect of Fuel Moisture on Performance and Emissions. There are many effects of fuel moisture on unit operation, performance and emissions. Its complexity can be appreciated by following coal through a power plant and analyzing the effect of coal quality on equipment performance and maintenance.
[PDF]The moisture in the coal causes problems in the handling, the storage, the transportation, the milling and the combustion [4, 6]. In the coal combustion, the important part of the energy is consumed to evaporate the moisture inside the coal [5–7].
Abstract. Moisture content is the main factor affecting the occurrence and flow of gas in bituminous coal and restricts the gas permeability of the coal seam, which affects the effectiveness of gas extraction from the coal seam directly.
