Abstract
Lignite (brown coal) is being used only for mine-mouth power generation. The high moisture content in brown coal causes its power-generating efficiency to be considerably lower than that achieved by bituminous coal. Kobe Steel has developed a process for upgrading brown coal by applying a unique slurry dewatering technology. A study has been conducted using the upgraded brown coal (UBC? ) made from Indian lignite to verify its applicability in improving the efficiency of mine-mouth power generation. As a result, it has been confirmed that UBC-based power generation is superior to the existing lignite-based power generation.
