Abstract
To make an accurate assessment on transformation behaviors of arsenic in coal at a high temperature, a typical high-arsenic coal collected from southwest China has been chosen in the study and a series of high-temperature experiments in different atmospheres have been conducted with the help of a lab-scale drop-tube furnace. Fine particulate matter were collected by a low-pressure impactor, for obtaining their mass size distributions and further quantifying for arsenic distributions and speciation in fine particles of different sizes. The results indicated that the bleeding ratios of arsenic in air combustion, CO2 gasification, and N2 pyrolysis were 85, 65, and 45%, respectively, at 1300 °C. The ratio was found to remain relatively constant when the temperature increased from 1200 to 1400 °C. Organically associated arsenic would be more inclined to vaporize in N2 pyrolysis, while both organic and inorganic associated arsenic would vaporize in CO2 gasification and air combustion. Pyrite-associated arsenic ...
