In this study, the physicochemical, microstructural, mineralogical, thermal, and kinetic
properties of three newly discovered coals from Akunza (AKZ), Ome (OME), and Shiga …

Coal is an abundant and accessible energy source despite growing environmental concerns
about its use. It is a critical driver of socio-economic growth and development particularly in …

This study investigated the fuel properties and energy recovery potential of two coal samples
from Ihioma (IHM) and Ogboligbo (OGB) environs in Nigeria. The ultimate, proximate, and …

This study seeks to characterize and highlight the fuel properties, rank, and classification of
coals from Ihioma (IHM) and Ogboligbo (OGB) in Imo and Kogi states of Nigeria …

Coal is a cheap and widely abundant fossil fuel that currently accounts for a significant share
(35–40%) of the global energy mix. As a result, coal-fired electricity has catalyzed rapid …

The characteristics and kinetics of durian shell (DS) pyrolysis were investigated using non-
isothermal thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). DS is a celluloserich biomass with high …

The discovery of vast deposits of various ranks of coal in Nigeria presents significant
opportunities to address the nation's persistent energy crises. However, the lack of …

1The study examined the physico-chemical characteristics and combustion kinetics of
petroleum coke or petcoke (PCK). The results revealed that PCK contains significantly high …

Coal-fired electricity generation has the potential to drive socio-economic growth and
infrastructural development, particularly in emerging economies such as Nigeria which have …

The growing demand for cheap electricity and the significant discovery of new coal deposits
in developing nations like Nigeria has increased interest in coal-fired power generation …
