Experimental and mechanistic study on chemical looping combustion of caking coal

Under high-temperature batch fluidized bed conditions and by employing juye coal as the raw material,the present study determined the effects of the bed material,temperature,OC/C ratio,steam flow and oxygen carrier cycle on the chemical looping combustion of coal.In addition,the variations taking place in the surface functional groups of coal under different reaction times were investigated,and the variations achieved by the gas released under the pyrolysis and combustion of Juye coal were analyzed.As revealed from the results,the carbon conversion ratio and rate were elevated significantly,and the volume fraction of the outlet CO_(2)remained more than 92%under the oxygen carriers.The optimized reaction conditions to achieve the chemical looping combustion of Juye coal consisted of a temperature of 900℃,an OC/C ratio of 2,as well as a steam flow rate of 0.5 g·min^(-1).When the coal was undergoing the chemical looping combustion,volatiles primarily originated from the pyrolysis of aliphatic-CH_(3)and-CH_(2),and CO and H_(2)were largely generated from the gasification of aromatic carbon.In the CLC process,H_(2)O and CO_(2)began to separate out at 270℃,CH4 and tar began to precipitate at 370℃,and the amount of CO_(2)was continuously elevated with the rise of the temperature.

Synergistic reaction behavior of pyrolysis and reduction of briquette prepared by weakly caking coal and metallurgical dust

Co-carbonization of weakly caking coal and zinc-containing dust to prepare highly reactive ferro-coke and collaboratively recover zinc powder is one of the feasible ways for steel enterprises to recycle zinc-containing dust.The pyrolysis mass loss behavior of adding blast furnace dust with different zinc contents to different ferro-coke materials was systematically studied by thermogravimetry and differential thermogravimetry analysis,and the kinetic mechanism of pyrolysis-reduction reaction of hybrid briquette was explored.The results of thermogravimetric curve analysis show that the addition of zinc oxide to the sample has no significant effect on the mass loss rate of the sample below 580℃,and the pyrolysis mass loss of zinc oxide mainly occurs between 800 and 1000℃.Kinetic analysis results show that the pyrolysis of zinc-containing samples is controlled by chemical reactions below 580℃.The reaction at 580–700℃ is controlled by the nucleation and growth model,and that above 700℃ is mainly controlled by diffusion.The results of X-ray diffraction analysis show that the pyrolysis process can effectively remove zinc oxide from ferro-coke.
