Abstract
The influence of key components in biomass ash on the gasification reactivity of coal, the migration patterns of typical biomass ash components and the structural evolution characteristics of coal during gasification process were deeply investigated by using a simulated biomass ash. The results indicate that gasification temperature and Si element content are the key factors affecting the gasification reactivity of coal. When the Si/K mass ratio is 0.5 and 1.0, the gasification reactivity of the composite coal sample is larger than that of raw coal, while the Si/K mass ratio is 1.5, the gasification reactivity is less than that of raw coal. Under the experimental conditions, the composite coal sample with a Si/K mass ratio of 0.5 and a Ca/K mass ratio of 0.4 shows the greatest reactivity. The gasification reactivity index is 1.35 times higher than that of raw coal. Compared to potassium-containing minerals, the calcium-containing minerals have stronger catalysis and are more likely to react with silicates to form calcium-containing silicates, such as calcium zeolites (CaO·Al2O3·2SiO2·4H2O), thereby avoiding the reaction between potassium-containing minerals and silicates to form non-catalytic minerals, which allows potassium to fully exert its catalytic effects. Dynamic analysis implies that the shrinking core model well describes the gasification process of deashing coal catalyzed by simulated biomass ash. When the Si/K mass ratio is 0.5 and the Ca/K mass ratio is 0.4, the gasification reaction activation energy of composite coal is reduced to 174.39 kJ/mol, which is 14.32% lower than that of raw coal.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Fuel Chemistry and Technology (Ranliao Huaxue Xuebao) is a Chinese Academy of Sciences(CAS) journal started in 1956, sponsored by the Chinese Chemical Society and the Institute of Coal Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences(CAS). The journal is published bimonthly by Science Press in China and widely distributed in about 20 countries. Journal of Fuel Chemistry and Technology publishes reports of both basic and applied research in the chemistry and chemical engineering of many energy sources, including that involved in the nature, processing and utilization of coal, petroleum, oil shale, natural gas, biomass and synfuels, as well as related subjects of increasing interest such as C1 chemistry, pollutions control and new catalytic materials. Types of publications include original research articles, short communications, research notes and reviews. Both domestic and international contributors are welcome. Manuscripts written in Chinese or English will be accepted. Additional English titles, abstracts and key words should be included in Chinese manuscripts. All manuscripts are subject to critical review by the editorial committee, which is composed of about 10 foreign and 50 Chinese experts in fuel science. Journal of Fuel Chemistry and Technology has been a source of primary research work in fuel chemistry as a Chinese core scientific periodical.
