Abstract
Laser ignition of brown coal samples (rank 2B, Kaychaksky open pit) with rectangular 1-10 ms pulses of the quasi-continuous ytterbium laser YLR-150/1500-QCW-MM-AC (1070 nm, 1.6 kW) has been investigated before and after coal demineralisation. Coal demineralisation is demonstrated to cause an increase in the energy density necessary for ignition.
