Abstract

AbstractCo‐pyrolysis of coal with waste polymers in a stationary quartz reactor was performed. Mass balance of the process was evaluated and properties of products were characterized. The main product (solid carbonaceous residue) exhibits low ash and sulfur contents and, from the point of view of application, satisfactory surface properties. Therefore, the solid residue is suitable as a smokeless fuel or as an industrial sorbent. The by‐products were tar and gas. The tar may be used as a source of chemicals or a low‐sulfur heating oil, the gas was highly calorific, therefore it may serve as a heating gas for energetical purposes.
