Abstract

Experimental studies were made to determine the characteristics of anode systems depolarized by coal slurries. The anode was a packed bed of platinum-plated titanium pellets, through which the slurries were recirculated. This flow system increased collisions between coal particles and the anode surfaces so that the anodic oxidation of the coal was enhanced. At the same time, soluble organic compounds and Fe 2+ ions dissolved from the coal were oxidized at the anode, and Fe 3+ was reduced by thermochemical reactions with reducing compounds in the coal; this reduction was important in maintaining the current density in long-term electrolysis.
