Influence of lignin on coal gangue pyrolysis and gas emission based on multi-lump parallel reaction model and principal component analysis

Abstract

The effects of lignin (LIG) on coal gangue (CG) pyrolysis characteristics, gas emissions, and multi-lump parallel reaction modeling are studied in this paper. The combined thermogravimetry and Fourier infrared spectrometer were used to obtain the weight loss and gas product functional group data of the co-pyrolysis of coal gangue and lignin. Gaussian peaks were used to analyze the reaction degree of different proportions of lignin added to coal gangue at different temperatures. Moreover, principal component analysis (PCA) is applied to further analyze pyrolysis reaction process. During the pyrolysis of C1L3 samples, a synergistic interaction was discovered. The optimal mixing ratio of coal gangue and lignin during pyrolysis was obtained. The influence mechanism of lignin on coal gangue pyrolysis is studied in this article, which can provide technical support for the reduction and resource utilization of coal gangue. There are six-lump parallel reactions in pyrolysis after CG and LIG are mixed. The addition of LIG changed the CO2 release law of CG pyrolysis. The strengthening of coal gangue disposal research is of positive significance for improving the environment and increasing the utilization rate of coal.
