Event: ACCC performed Cone Calorimeter laboratory tests (ASTM E1354) on a sample of Chinese Shaanxi sub-bituminous coal.

Cone Calorimeter Summary

1) CC-88 treated Coal LOST WEIGHT approximately 50% FASTER than the untreated coal.

2) CC-88 treated coal IGNITES approximately 50% FASTER than the untreated coal.

3) CC-88 treated coal reaches its MAXIMUM HEAT RELEASE approximately 50% FASTER than the untreated coal.

4) CC-88 treated coal has a 15% LOWER HEAT of COMBUSTION than the untreated coal.

5) CC-88 treated coal produces 20% LESS SMOKE than the untreated coal.

SUMMARY: The CC-88 treated coal ignites faster, burns more efficiently at a lower temperature and with less smoke than the untreated coal.
