Abstract
ABSTRACT Datong long-flame coal from China was pyrolysis with superheated water vapor at 300°C to 536°C. Chemical and physical changes of long flame coal, including composition, weight loss, pore fracture structure, density, and water absorption were tested, and the qualitative and quantitative relationships among these changes were analyzed. superheated water vapor pyrolysis removes moisture and volatile components from long flame coals and increases the fixed carbon content. After superheated water vapor pyrolysis, the O/C and H/C atomic ratios of long flame coal decreased due to the decomposition of oxygen-containing functional groups and chain aliphatic hydrocarbons. superheated water vapor pyrolysis increased the porosity of long flame coal by material removal and matrix fracture. Material removal occurs throughout the pyrolysis process but matrix fracture occurs only at the initial stage of the conversion of solid organic matter to oil and gas products. The expansion of pore fractures in long flame coal caused a significant decrease in apparent density and an increase in water absorption. Quantitative analysis revealed the forced water absorption of long flame coal was quadratically polynomial with respect to porosity.
