Abstract: This paper firstly analyzes the evaluative factors of relevant policies in implementing distributed photovoltaic power generation in frontier rural areas of China based on prior study. Then, by using these factors, the author investigates the first pilot project for poverty alleviation with distributed photovoltaic power generation in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. According to the investigation, the effects of this project are embodied in its policy implications, that is, having a positive effect on energy security and national amalgamation of China. In view of the financial difficulty faced by the project, this paper puts forward constructive suggestions for improvement learning from the experience of photovoltaic power generation project in Iida City, Nagano Prefecture, Japan. In the future, promoting diversified social capital injection and villagers’ participation in the implementation of the project will be a crucial task.

Abstract: In the past coal maceral separation have been carried out based on density difference e. g., sink-float analysis, density gradient centrifugation (DGC) techniques etc. These approaches are of limited success. Froth flotation is a physico-chemical process separating particles on the basis of difference in surface properties in a vessel consisting of two distinct zones viz., pulp and froth zones. Rate of floatability of individual size range particles varies with their ash percent and the maceral content present. Therefore, the flotation rate constant eventually becomes a function of maceral percentage of a coal particle. In the present paper, an attempt has been made by performing size-wise flotation tests using a sub-bituminous rank coal and flotation kinetics have been established based on maceral percentage reporting to concentrate at different time intervals of flotation. These results have been related to the kinetic behaviour of the process.
