Description

Lignite CAS NO 129521-66-0 is a naturally occurring, low-rank coal characterized by its brownish-black color and intermediate properties between peat and sub-bituminous coal. This material is valued for its carbon content and serves as a versatile industrial feedstock and energy source. It is essential for industries involved in power generation, soil amendment, and the production of activated carbon and humic substances.

Application

• Solid Fuel for Power Generation: Used in thermal power plants for electricity production due to its combustible properties.
• Soil Conditioner and Fertilizer Carrier: Acts as a base material for humic acid extraction, improving soil structure and nutrient retention.
• Activated Carbon Production: Serves as a key raw material in manufacturing activated carbon for water purification and air filtration.
• Industrial Fuel for Cement Kilns and Brick Manufacturing: Provides a cost-effective energy source for high-temperature industrial processes.
• Carbon Additive in Metallurgy: Used as a carbon raiser in steel and ferroalloy production.
• Source for Synthetic Fuels and Chemicals: A feedstock for gasification and liquefaction processes to produce synthetic gas or liquid fuels.
• Drilling Mud Additive: Employed in oil and gas well drilling to control fluid viscosity and filtration.
• Sorbent for Spill Control: Utilized for its natural absorbent properties in environmental remediation.

Quality Control

Our Lignite is sourced and processed under strict quality protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency for industrial applications. Quality is assessed against key parameters such as calorific value, moisture content, ash composition, and fixed carbon percentage. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing these specifications are available upon request to support your quality assurance and production planning.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area away from sources of ignition and incompatible materials. Due to its carbonaceous nature, minimize dust generation and accumulation. Large stockpiles should be managed to prevent spontaneous heating.
