Abstract

In order to run the plant effectively, lignite handling system should be maintained effectively. Therefore,
segregation of marcasite are required due to the absence of the pulveriser mill which is because of the boilers used is
made of ecofriendly Circulated Fluidized Bed Combustion system. Marcasite is an iron sulphide ore (FeS2) appears to be
pale yellowish green in colour which are much harder than lignite (hardness is 6- 6.5 on Mohs scale), damages the
mining and lignite processing equipment. These marcasites are manually picked in stockyard, some are escaped and
damages the Lignite Handling Systems. Here our aim is to give a solution to segregate and remove these marcasites from
lignite in order to safeguard the equipment of lignite handling system and boiler.
