Abstract: | Gasification of a char prepared from hydrocracked residuum was compared with the gasification of chars prepared from bituminous and sub-bituminous Canadian coals, wood and graphite. Each material was mixed with 10 mass per cent K2CO3 and pyrolyzed up to 900°C. The yield of char was inversely proportional to the amount of volatile matter in the original material. The char prepared from hydrocracked residuum was different from the others. The other chars all followed zero-order gasification kinetics. Gasification of char prepared from the residuum was first-order in the solid. The development of a liquid phase during the pyrolysis of the residuum to char may explain this difference. The gasification rate of the char. from residuum was slower than the rates with the two coal chars and the wood char, but faster than the gasification rate of graphite. A combination of transient experiments and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic (XPS) measurements indicated that hydrogen was formed almost instantaneously when steam reacted with the char. XPS spectra at liquid nitrogen temperature indicated that during gasification the formation of carbon oxygen bonds proceeded in the following sequence: COH, CO and CO. |
