Analyzing Coal Spectrums

Since its launch, the RSAC-1000 Raman Spectrum Analyzer for Coal has gained a great reputation for itself in the industries around coal quality measurement.

The RSAC-1000 uses Raman spectroscopy to analyze coal's first-order and second-order Raman spectra, providing data to correlate between coal composition and key properties. This process allows for insight into various structural characteristics of the coal.

The analyzer works in two stages. First, it performs a quantitative analysis of the Raman spectra and coal composition, correlating the relative content of structures such as the aromatic ring, C=O, C-H bonds, and impurities with combustion properties. Second, it uses these Raman spectra data to develop a model that links coal structure with combustion characteristics. By identifying Raman spectra parameters closely associated with these chemical structures, it enables accurate quantitative analysis of the coal composition to inform industrial parameters.

Through this approach, the RSAC-1000 not only builds a model connecting Raman spectra with coal composition but also enables high-precision, online detection of various coal types and blends. This breakthrough in laser Raman spectroscopy allows for customized applications suitable to pulverized coal pipelines into a boiler. Equipped with an auto-detection function, the analyzer performs real-time, efficient measurements of coal properties, with options for remote cable control. Its flexible installation options make it suitable for both coal plants and boiler environments.

By digitizing key coal properties, the RSAC-1000 provides essential data for optimizing boiler operations and contributes to intelligent, flexible control of boiler efficiency.
