The invention discloses
cascade modified high-hydrophobicity low-
porosity low-rank
coal as well as a preparation method and application thereof, and belongs to the technical field of
clean coal. The method comprises the following steps:
drying and crushing low-rank
coal to obtain pulverized
coal; the method comprises the following steps: adding pulverized coal into a
titanate coupling agent solution, introducing
nitrogen, carrying out a stirring reaction, and carrying out post-treatment to obtain an
intermediate product I; adding coal
pitch into an
organic solvent, uniformly stirring and mixing, adding the
intermediate product I, stirring and reacting, and performing post-treatment to obtain the
cascade modified high-hydrophobicity low-
porosity low-rank coal. Under a mild condition, a
titanate coupling agent is hydrolyzed to generate a Ti-OH group, the Ti-OH group and hydroxyl on the surface of the coal
powder are condensed to form a stable Ti-O-C
covalent bond, a hydrophilic site on the surface of the coal is converted into a hydrophobic site, and the hydrophobicity is preliminarily improved; and hydrophobic coal
pitch molecules form a
coating layer on the surface of the coal, so that the
porosity is effectively reduced, and the hydrophobicity is improved. By improving the forward adsorption of the dispersant on the surface, the content of
bound water in the
slurry is reduced, and the concentration and
dispersion stability of the
coal water slurry are improved.
