Abstract

ABSTRACT Pre-extraction of Talcher coal ( a bituminous coal) in anthracene oil was found to be a beneficial treatment for enhancing the reactivity for steam gasification of coal. Similarly, anthracene oil followed by liquid paraffin extraction of coal was also found to be a-better pretreatment for the steam gasification of coal. Anthracene oil extraction at 270°Cand steaming of coal at 650°C had almost equal effect on steam gasification of coal. Pyrolysis in steam of pre-extracted coals was found to further enhance the reactivity of coal for steam gasification. The studies were further confirmed by carrying out thermogravimetric analysis of pretreated coals in steam atmosphere. Degree of cross-linking in pretreated coals was studied by measurement of swelling of coal in quinoline. The formation of tar in gaseous product was reduced as a result of pre-extraction and steam pyrolysis of coal prior to their gasification in steam.
