Investigation on the Distribution of Yimin Lignite Pyrolysis Products and the Stability of its Char.

Abstract

This paper introduces the utilization of lignite in China and abroad and studies the influence of different process conditions on the pyrolysis products of lignite. The effects of pyrolysis temperature, residence time, and heating rate on the yield and stability of pyrolysis products were studied by standard lattice low-temperature distillation of coal. The results showed that the final pyrolysis temperature of lignite increases gradually, which is a key factor affecting the pyrolysis performance of lignite. At the same time, the combustible gas yield and tar yield were also significantly improved. Semichar yield and semichar volatile content showed a downward trend. From the range of pyrolysis products, the heating rate also has an important influence on the pyrolysis performance of lignite. Through the thermal stability test of lignite, it is concluded that the particle size distribution of carbon black products is not significantly different, and most of the coal particles are mainly distributed in the range of more than 6 mm.
