More importantly, during the pyrolysis process of 3560 mesh coal, the largest amount of coalchar and the smallest amount of coaltar are not only obtained, but highquality syngas is also obtained. Through the characterization of coaltar, it is found that coaltar is mainly composed of aromatic compounds, and the content can reach more ...
From the perspective of coal chemistry, the evolution behavior of inorganic minerals in coal has an obvious impact on the operating parameters and stability of the coal thermal conversion process. Coal pyrolysis is a key step and an important component of thermal transformation, in which minerals become important factors affecting the process ...
Therefore, FTIR spectroscopy was employed to analyze the gas generated during the pyrolysis of coal under anaerobic conditions, and the corresponding results are shown in Figures 4(a)4(f). For all samples, the main gases produced during the pyrolysis process were CH 4, CO 2, and water vapor. This result is consistent with the results of the ...
Pyrolysis polygeneration technology is a good way to realize clean and efficient utilization of lowrank coal and heat carrier is a key factor. Aspen Plus is used to establish lowrank coal pyrolysis staged conversion polygeneration technology with semicoke heat carrier based on dualfluidized bed (CPSCPCDFB), which couples with ultrasupercritical semicoke powder furnace for power generation.
Pyrolysis, which is the initial stage of the coal conversion process, is a significant approach to realize efficient coal resource utilization. Current research on the mechanism of the coal pyrolysis reaction primarily focuses on aspects such as the generation law of pyrolysis products [6], evolution characteristics of the chemical structure [7 ...
The pyrolysis of coal is a good method for producing liquid fuels and other chemicals; however, the yields of these products are limited due to low content of hydrogen in coal. Hydropyrolysis, a pyrolysis process under hydrogen, is an effective method to improve tar yield and quality, but high cost of pure hydrogen hinders its industrial ...
Coal SJC, coal WJG, coal ZJM, and coal HCG were selected to investigate the pyrolysis kinetics of northern Shaanxi coals. TG and DSC experiments of four coals were carried out with a synchronous thermal analyzer at heating rates 5, 10, 15, and 20 C/min, respectively. The pyrolysis characteristics were described by thermogravimetric data, and the kinetic parameters were calculated by Flynn# ...
Coal is the primary energy source in China, and coal pyrolysis is considered an essential and efficient method for clean coal utilization. Three high arsenic coals collected from the southwestern Guizhou province of China were chosen in this study. Lowtemperature ashing plus Xray diffraction analysis (XRD) was used to identify the minerals in coals. The three coals were pyrolyzed in a tube ...
Coal pyrolysis is a process of multistage transformation using the composition and structural characteristics of coal to replace oil and gas resources (Qu et al., Citation 2010). In the process of coal pyrolysis, the pyrolysis gas is doped with particulate coal owing to combustion insufficiently. The filtration system is part of the coal ...
When the temperature exceeds 3250 K, the pyrolysis reaction was completed and the yield of each product stabilizes. The lower heating rate completely reproduces the pyrolysis process of coal, and the pyrolysis stages obtained by simulation are close to Fugu subbituminous coal [57]. At 10 K/ps, the content of char is the least and Ltar is the ...
During the actual pyrolysis process, the physicochemical structure of coal will be decomposed with the generation of products, such as tar, char, and gaseous compounds [21], [22].Generally, the coal pyrolysis process consists of primary devolatilization reactions and subsequent secondary reactions [23], [24].In this work, to combine the mass transfer with pyrolysis kinetics more conveniently ...
Pyrolysis, as a process technology, has received considerable attention from many researchers because it is an important intermediate stage in coal conversion. Reactions parameters as the ...
Pyrolysis is the thermal decomposition process of coal, where the coal is heated in the absence of oxygen to produce carbonaceous char, oil, and combustible gases. Unlike combustion, the pyrolysis technology is an endothermic process, where thermal energy required driving off moisture and volatile matter ( Das et al., 2016 ).
The complexity of coal combustion has made more researchers divide the combustion process into two stages: pyrolysis and late combustion. Up to now, many studies have been done on transformation behavior of nitrogen during coal pyrolysis [16], [17] and occurrence state and content of nitrogen in coal [18] .
The scientific and industrial community's interest in the pyrolysis process has increased significantly over the past few decades. The amount of scientific documents published on pyrolysis using either coal or biomass as feedstock for different years is shown in Fig. can be observed that research in both coal and biomass pyrolysis processes has increased significantly since the 1960s.
The experimental results show that coal pyrolysis process can be roughly divided into four stages, namely the drying and dehydration stage S1, the degassing stage S2, the pyrolysis stage S3, and ...
As a comprehensive description of the functional groups effect on various volatile products during coal pyrolysis process, it is found that both alkyl and oxygencontaining groups can reduce the BDEs of the bridge bonds between aromatic rings during pyrolysis process, and the effect of oxygencontaining groups is more obvious. ...
The conventional coal gasification and steam methane reforming processes for hydrogen production are undesirable due to the huge CO 2 emissions. A cleaner technology based on natural gas that has received special attention in recent years is methane pyrolysis. ... Iron and carbon catalysts are therefore the best choice to industrialize the ...
The coal pyrolysis is a fundamentally important process since it involves a set of chemical reactions, which play key roles in most coal conversion processes, such as coking, liquefaction, hydrogenation, gasification and combustion. ... Coal softening is a consequence of both physical melting process and pyrolysis breakdown of the coal matrix ...
Garret pyrolysis. Pyrolysis, especially pyrolysis of coal, is an age‐long activity but biomass pyrolysis is a completely new entrant. The process is aimed to produce biofuel. In the garret process, solid waste (Biomass) is allowed to mix with hot char and hot recycle gas in a specially designed chamber.
