Abstract
The CO 2 gasification of maceral chars was performed using CAHN TG-151 pressurized thermobalance under different conditions. The effect of mineral in macerals and catalyst on the gasification reactivity of maceral chars and the gasification kinetics were systematically investigated. The results showed that the apparent gasification rate of maceral chars depends on the temperature, pressure, BET surface area of chars and the gasification extent. With increasing temperature and pressure, the gasification rate of maceral chars all increase. After demineralization, the gasification reactivity of maceral chars all decrease. The gasification reactivity of maceral chars greatly increases with loading catalyst. And the loading method of catalyst has great effect on the gasification reactivity. The maceral chars loaded with catalyst by ultrasonic treatment have higher gasification reactivity than that by impregnation. The comparison of gasification reactivity of maceral charas demineralized maceral chars and maceral chars with and without catalyst showed that vitrinite chars always have higher gasification reactivity than inertinite chars. The kinetic results by distributed activation energy model showed that inertinite char has higher activation energy than vitrinite char, and the addition of catalyst greatly minimizes the activation energy and enhances the gasification rate.
