To investigate the effects of <em>in-situ</em> conditions on both the yield and the quality of the tar from tar-rich coal during pyrolysis, an experimental system in which the <em>in-situ</em> conditions can be simulated was built. The simulated conditions included <em>in-situ</em> stress, pyrolysis temperature, heating rate, and moisture content. Furthermore, the underlying mechanisms of <em>in-situ</em> conditions on the tar from tar-rich coal were revealed. The tar yield is increased from 0.83 % to 10.13 % in the temperature range of 200–500 °C, but a considerable drop of the yield occurs around 600 °C due to the cracking of the tar. The heating rate is decreased from 16 °C/min to 2 °C/min, the tar yield is increased from 4.63 % to 10.30 %. At low heating rates, the tar yield can be boosted during the <em>in-situ</em> pyrolysis, in contrast to the high heating rate required in conventional coal pyrolysis. Based on the variations in the average activation energy of pyrolysis kinetic under <em>in-situ</em> conditions, the <em>in-situ</em> pyrolysis can easily form the active free radicals in tar-rich coal but difficultly promote the reactions in the formed active free radicals. The decomposition of the bridge bonds in aromatic, the –CH₂/–CH₃ in aliphatic, the oxygen-containing functional group, and the hydrogen-bonded-OH group for tar-rich coal under <em>in-situ</em> conditions is conducive to producing the high-value tar. The low ratio of chain hydrocarbons to aromatic hydrocarbons and the decreased relative content of oxygenated compounds in the tar under <em>in-situ</em> conditions improve the tar quality. Compared with the tar from tar-rich coal under the conventional pyrolysis, the tar under the <em>in-situ</em> pyrolysis is rich in light oil. This study provides the better understanding of the effects of <em>in-situ</em> conditions on tar from tar-rich coal, and also guides the <em>in-situ</em> pyrolysis of coal to extract high-value tar in applications.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17287,"journal":{"name":"Journal of The Energy Institute","volume":"118 ","pages":"Article 101912"},"PeriodicalIF":5.6,"publicationDate":"2024-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142756928","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The mechanism of ash deposition formation from mineral components and the characteristics of ash deposition on boiler heating surface during co-firing of coal and biomass were investigated in this paper. A water-cooled probe was used to simulate the heating surface of high-temperature super-heater in the furnace, and the experiments on ash deposition were carried out in a one-dimensional settling furnace. The micro-morphology, element composition and phase composition of the deposited ash on the surface of the water-cooled probe under different conditions were characterized by means of SEM, EDS, XRD and other methods. The results show that the migration and transformation pathways of alkali metal K and Cl elements in the mineral components can significantly affect the behavior of ash deposition formation. The meltbility of ash particles and the viscosity of deposit sediment are two important factors determining the degree of ash deposition. With the blending ratio of biomass in coal increasing, the content of K₂O and Cl in the deposited ash increases rapidly, conversely, the content of SiO₂ and Al₂O₃ in the deposited ash shows rapidly decreasing trend. Meanwhile, based on the micro-morphology features, the particles of the deposited ash gradually become smaller, the structure of the deposited ash becomes denser, and the agglomeration and melting phenomenon in the deposited ash is more obvious. The alkali metal K and Cl in the biomass and S, Si, Al and other components in the coal will have a synergistic effect during co-firing of coal and biomass. There are significant effects of fuel property, the blending ratio of biomass in coal and the temperature in furnace on the characteristics of ash deposition.

In this work, the influence of additive types and placement methods on K deposition and gasification characteristics were studied through a decoupled gasification with online analysis. As a result, separative placement (Sep) method could reduce K deposition without decreasing hydrogen yield compared to mechanical mixture (Mix) method. This advantage is particularly prominent in char gasification. SiO₂ is recommended to be added by the Mix to react with alkali and alkaline earth metal species individually to inhibit K release. This match could reduce peak of K deposition content by 55.80 % with less impact on hydrogen yield. Meanwhile, Al₂O₃ is recommended to be added by the Sep due to its unique comprehensive performance, which could increase hydrogen yield by 4.34 % and reduce peak of K deposition content by 52.72 %.

The results indicate that the electric field has the optimal range. With the increase of electric field strength, the collision frequency between N₂ and H₂ molecules does not increase linearly due to the polarization phenomenon, but increases first and then decreases, which affects the production of ammonia. As the electric field is greater than −0.01 V/Å, the ammonia production begins to decline due to the decreased molecular collision frequency as well as the electric-field induced ammonia dissociation. The results also show that the plasma-generated active species significantly promote NH₃ formation. Compared to the plasma-generated excited state and the ion, plasma-generated radicals such as N, H, NH and NH₂ have a more significant promoting effect on ammonia synthesis due to the acceleration of ammonia synthesis elementary reactions and the reduction of starting time significantly. In the aspect of molecular level, a new ammonia synthesis reaction pathway is discovered: N₂→N₂H→N₂H₂→N₂H₃→NH₃, which was never reported in previous studies.

However, CG incur poor ignition and flame instability, and consequently is not suited to separate combustion. The co-combustion with sewage sludge (SS) has demonstrated positive impacts on energy recovery, whereas the SS dewatering may significantly influence the co-combustion behavior. Therefore, this study systematically investigated the impact of two typical sludge conditioner, namely FeCl₃·6H₂O and rice husk (RH), which functions as flocculant and skeletal builder, on their synergistic role on co-combustion with CG. The thermal dynamic combustion behavior, pollutant emissions, slag tendency and bottom ash stability and toxicity were systematically studied. A robust positive synergism is observed, attributed to heat compensation and the formation of alkali metal aluminosilicates from Rh during the ignition phase. Concurrently, the temperature dependent iron oxides evolution enhances the acceleration of O₂ loop, thereby promoting the char combustion. After being jointly conditioned with Rh and FeCl₃, the co-combustion with CG resulted in CCi being 3.46 times higher than that of C1S3, and the average activation energy in each stage was reduced by 49.1 %. Significantly, the sludge conditioner also contributes to the reduced exhausted gases such as CO₂, SO₂ and NO. The Rh in SS has been found to mitigate slagging and fouling tendencies, while the retention of Cr, Cu, Ni, and Pb is greatly improved due to the stabilization of silicate minerals in CG.

Thermogravimetric experiments results indicated that with the addition of polyolefins, the initial temperature of blends progressively elevated, while its terminal temperature declined, suggesting that adding polyolefins facilitated the decomposition of samples. The thermal degradation of blends was distinguished into two stages, and in the first stage, a negative interaction was found at 25 % polyolefins mass ratio, but a positive interaction was occurred at 50 % and 75 % polyolefins mass ratios. Meanwhile, in the second stage, a negative interaction was obtained for blending with PE, whereas an opposite result was observed for blending with PP or PS. Therefore, temperature, feedstock and mixing ratio interacted on synergy effects between SS and polyolefins. Besides, two-stage fixed bed experiments results suggested that a higher gasification temperature was beneficial for the production of syngas, particularly the H₂ yield, and blending with polyolefins into SS enhanced the H₂ content, with PE performing best. The synergy interactions between SS and polyolefins accelerated the concentrations of H₂ and CH₄, while declining the C_nH_m yield, demonstrating a stronger re-cleavage of macromolecules. Furthermore, the low heat value of syngas and carbon conversion efficiency for all the samples separately elevated and reduced with rising gasification temperature and polyolefins mass ratios.
