Abstract
To reduce water usage and wastewater treatment in coal gasification processing, the use of non-aqueous quenching agents was proposed. The purpose of this study is to assess the potential of using coal tar as a quenching agent for the Luger coal gasification. A low-temperature gasification-derived coal tar and an ethylene tar obtained from the petroleum naphtha cracking process in ethylene production were subjected to thermal aging tests to determine the effect of thermal severity on their viscosity and chemical composition. The viscosities of coal tar and ethylene tar as a function of the aging time were similar and relatively constant at 200 °C. At 250 °C, the coal tar was more unstable and had a shorter viscosity increase onset time than the ethylene tar. The tar samples before and after thermal aging tests were subjected to gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) and Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FT-ICR MS) to determine the molecular composition. The results indicate...
