The drying of lignite is essential in order to improve the net calorific value of lignite along with other main characteristics, and to ensure an efficient operation of lignite power plants. The selection of a proper drying technology among a number of different dryer options is crucial for achieving this goal.
However, the lignite drying degree could not be ensured and stabilized using this single drying process. The moisture content of pre-dried lignite can range widely from 5% to 50% [39]. As the lignite with relatively higher moisture content is fed into the mill, the pulverizer performance would be deteriorated and the grinding energy …
