Investigation of coal char-slag transition during oxidation: Effect of temperature and residual carbon | 2009 | coal char; molten slag; bitumous coal; energy and fuels | The transition of coal char to molten slag at high conversion was studied for a bituminous coal using a laminar entrained-flow reactor under oxidizing conditions. Post-oxidized char particles were analyzed by various techniques including loss-on-ignition, gas adsorption analysis and scanning electro... |

Relationships between composition and pulmonary toxicity of prototype particles from coal combustion and pyrolysis | 2009 | toxicity; prototype particles; coal combustion; pyrolysis; health effects; coal combustion fly-ash particles | The hypothesis that health effects associated with coal combustion fly-ash particles are exacerbated by the simultaneous presence of iron and soot was tested through two sets of experiments. The first set created prototype particles from complete and partial combustion, or oxygen free pyrolysis of a... |

Taking another look at Utah's tar sand resources | 2009 | tar sand; tar sand resources; unconventional energy resource; alternate energy resource; oil impregnated sandstone; oil sand; bitumous sandstone; energy resource | Recent increases in the price of crude oil have sparked renewed interest in unconventional energy resources, including Utah s tar sands. Tar sands (also called oil-impregnated sandstones, oil sands, and bituminous sandstones) are, as the names imply, sandstones that are saturated or filled with blac... |

Using a continuous time lag to determine the associations between ambient PM2.5 hourly levels and daily mortality | 2009-10 | continuous time lag; ambient PM2.5; hourly levels; daily mortality; PM2.5 exposure; short-term fine particulate matter; health effects | The authors are interested in understanding the possible association between exposure to short-term fine particulate matter (PM2.5) peaks that have changing physical characteristics throughout the day and observable health outcomes (daily mortality). To this end, modern statistical methods are used ... |
