Abstract: | A study was made of the conversion of single spherical coal particles of diameter 1–5 mm in a supercritical H2O/O2 fluid with an oxygen mass fraction of 0–6.6% in a semibatch reactor at a pressure of 30 MPa and a temperature of 673–1023
K. A decrease in the particle mass was observed in two parallel processes: gasification of coal with water and oxidation of
coal with oxygen. An activation energy 19 ± 7 kJ/mole and a pre-exponential factor 10−2±0.4 sec−1 were obtained under the assumption of zero order for the concentration H2O and an Arrhenius dependence for the rate of gasification with water. The oxidation with oxygen at a temperature above 780
K was found to be limited by the rate of O2 diffusion to the coal organic matter. Below 780 K, the rate of heterogeneous oxidation with oxygen is described by a first-order
reaction for the concentration of O2 and a zero-order reaction for the concentration of H2O with an activation energy of 150 ± 27 kJ/mole and a pre-exponential factor of 107.6±1.9 cm3/(g · sec).
