6、of Coal3.Significance and Use3.1 Ground coal is commonly used as an inexpensive fillerin rubber compounds as a direct or partial replacement forcarbon black or as a diluent in the compound.3.2 Ground coal is very compatible with most rubbers and isvery easily mixed into the compound.4.Basis of Class
7、ification4.1 Particle size will have a direct effect on the modulus,tensile strength,and tear strength of the finished rubber.4.2 Ash in the coal will effect the specific gravity and highash can influence the curing characteristics of the rubber.4.3 Moisture in the ground coal at levels of 0.5%and a
