Abstract
The process of oxidation of lignite and bituminous coal modified with metal nitrates (Cu, Ce, Na, Co, Fe) in the amount of 5 wt.% is studied. Application of additives to the coal samples is carried out by the method of incipient wetness impregnation with preliminary dissolution of the additive in an aqueous-alcohol solution with a volume ratio of C2H5OH/H2O=50/50. Reactivity of the samples is studied by thermogravimetric analysis in the oxidation mode at a heating rate of 2.5 °C/min in the temperature range 25–600°C at atmospheric pressure. It has been found that application of activating additives contributes to reduction of the initial temperature of intensive oxidation (Ati=5–97°C) and to a shift of the process to the low-temperature region as a whole. According to the results obtained, the greatest activity is specific for addition of Cu(NO3)2. It is manifested in a decrease in the temperature of the beginning of intensive oxidation ti and an increase in the average reaction rate wav. The Coats-Redfern method is used to calculate activation energy of the oxidation process in the presence of activating additives. Maximum decrease in Eais observed for a copper nitrate-modified coal sample.
