Conclusions
Atmospheric distillation, PX of a treated mixture of fuel oil and lignite, to 360°C boils about 65% of the distillate, produces about 25-26% of solid mineral residue, 8% of hydrocarbon non-condensable gases and 2% of water. At the second distillation of distillate (65%) it is possible to obtain petrol fraction 6-7%, diesel fraction 50-51% and liquid residue 3-4%.
Mineral part of coal (about 25%) can be extracted from the product of PC processing of peat and fuel oil mixture by thermolysis on known equipment (but up to 360°C) and used as mineral powders in road construction or for making fuel pellets. The lower and higher calorific values are 6860 and 8150 kcal/kg, respectively.
Electricity consumption directly for PC processing of 1000 kg of mixture of fuel oil and lignite is about 6.16 kW.
