Prediction of Clean Coal Using Mathematical Models

The processing plant is a combination of equipment principle and coal treatment type. The first step is to determine the relationship between input variables and output variables. The information used is from manufacturing reports. It is a combination of input and output variables, ie, quality of feed (ash), feed volume (tons), and medium density superimposed, clean coal ton, clean coal ash and production volume. If such a relationship exists (based on the value of R 2 that is expected to be as close to 1 as possible), the developed formula will help build the overall desired model.

The cards seem to be confused as to what it means "to clean coal". He uses this term to describe the process of purification or pretreatment before coal mines burn coal. However, clean coals are usually called coal-fired power stations that capture greenhouse gas emissions. The US Department of Energy's budget for cards will reduce R & D expenditure for this technology from $ 200 million to $ 35 million.

However, environmentalist is not the biggest enemy of coal. It is natural gas. Coal production began to decline before Obama announced a clean energy plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The regulations of the Environmental Protection Agency concerning emission control of mercury and other harmful substances have not started until this June. According to the old rules, the coal slipped. According to a recent survey by Case Western Reserve University, shale gas production has increased more than ten times from 2008 to 2015, its price fell by half. Declining coal demand from overseas and domestic customers is devastating. Prices and technical advantages enjoyed by natural gas are only accelerating. "If you are an operator of a power plant and the supply of natural gas continues to increase and natural gas can work hard to reduce costs - then deciding to switch from coal is very easy" Walter Culver says. - Research report
