文摘The combustion behavior of bamboo char and its relationship with particle sizes were evaluated using thermo-gravimetric analysis.The results showed that the combustion properties of bamboo char were much better than those of the anthracite used as a coal injected for blast furnace ironmaking due to its porous structure,disordered microcrystalline and higher catalytic index of ash minerals.When the particle size increased from -0.074 to 0.500-1.000 mm,the ignition temperature and burnout temperature of bamboo char increased,while the combustible index and comprehensive combustion characteristic index decreased slightly.The apparent activation energies of non-isothermal combustion of bamboo char and anthracite were calculated based on the distributed activation energy model.The results showed that the average activation energy was 162.86 kJ/mol for-0.074 mm anthracite,while it ranged from 71.01 to 89.44 kJ/mol for bamboo chars of different sizes.It revealed that the combustion reactivity of bamboo char in the largest size (0.500-1.000 mm)was much better than that of -0.074 mm,anthracite;thus,the size of biomass char could be enlarged to the maximum size specified by the injection application of blast furnace.
