Abstract
A pressurized coal partial combustor (P-CPC) with two-stage coal supply was tested to elucidate the characteristics of a 7T-coal/d air-blown coal gasifier. As the secondary coal-feed ratio (2ry coal/total coal) was increased, the following phenomena were observed, indicating depression of the coal gasification reaction ; (1) decrease of CO and H2 concentrations, (2) decrease of calorific value of product gas, (3) increase of hydrocarbon (CH4 + C2H6) content, (4) decrease of carbon conversion efficiency. Secondary coal supply is effective for stable slag discharge and the prevention of the slagging problem in a reductor due to the rapid temperature drop of molten slag. In conclusion, as long as stable slag discharge is obtained, it is effective to lower the 2ry coal-feed ratio to promote the coal gasification reaction, resulting in, for example, higher calorific value of the product gas.
