particle size distribution of the pulverized fuel among other factors. For coal, the Hardgrove Grindability Index (HGI) test was developed to characterize the relative grindability of a particular quality of coal relative to a pre-determined standard quality of coal (ASTM D409). The HGI test is an empirical batch
The relationship between Hardgrove grindability and coal microlithotype composition was studied for three coals from two eastern Kentucky mines. The purpose of the study was to further investigate the use of petrographic data as a predictor of mechanical properties important in mining and utilization. Samples were collected according to ...
The Hardgrove grindability index HGI is closely related to the power consumed in crushing coal and may be used to optimize crushing in the coal-preparation shops at coke plants, as shown in [1–7].The factors affecting HGI for Ukrainian and imported coal were studied in [].The results showed that HGI depends on the carbon content and …
