Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim
126 words
THE METHOD OF CARBONIZING A FINELY DIVIDED CAKING BITUMINOUS COAL WHICH COMPRISES PREHEATING THE COAL TO AND ELEVATED TEMPERATUER BELOW THE PLASTIC RANGE OF THE COAL IN A FLUIDIZED STATE, CONTACTING THE COAL WITH OXYGEN AT A TEMPERATURE BELOW THE PLASTIC RANGE OF THE COAL, PASSING THE COAL INTO A PREOXIDATION ZONE, MAINTAINING THE COAL IN A FLUIDIZED STATE BY MEANS OF AN OXYGEN-CONTAINING GAS THEREIN AT A TEMPERATURE WITHIN THE PLASTIC RANGE OF THE COAL, PASSING THE COAL AND GASES FROM SAID PREOXIDATION ZONE UPWARDLY WITHOUT DELIBERATE SEAPRATION INTO A CARBONIZATION ZONE, MAINTAINING THE COAL IN A FLUIDIZED STATE THEREIN AT A TEMPERATURE ABOVE THE PLASTIC RANGE OF THE COAL AND SEPARATELY RECOVERING FROM SAID CARBONIZATION ZONE COAL EVOLUTION VAPORS AND SOLID PARTICULATE CARBONIZATION RESIDUE.
