Abstract: | This study aims to examine the char-steam reactions in-situ, following the pyrolysis process of a demineralized coal in a micro fluidized bed reactor, with particular focuses on gas release and its kinetics characteristics. The main experimental variables were temperatures (925 °C?1075 °C) and steam concentrations (15%–35% H2O), and the combination of pyrolysis and subsequent gasification in one experiment was achieved switching the atmosphere from pure argon to steam and argon mixture. The results indicate that when temperature was higher than 975 °C, the absolute carbon conversion rate during the char gasification could easily reach 100%. When temperature was 1025 °C and 1075 °C, the carbon conversion rate changed little with steam concentration increasing from 25% to 35%. The activation energy calculated from shrinking core model and random pore model was all between 186 and 194 kJ/mol, and the fitting accuracy of shrinking core model was higher than that of the random pore model in this study. The char reactivity from demineralized coal pyrolysis gradually worsened with decreasing temperature and steam partial pressure. The range of reaction order of steam gasification was 0.49–0.61. Compared to raw coal, the progress of water gas shift reaction (CO + H2O ? CO2 + H2) was hindered during the steam gasification of char obtained from the demineralized coal pyrolysis. Meanwhile, the gas content from the char gasification after the demineralized coal pyrolysis showed a low sensitivity to the change in temperature. |
