Effects of atmosphere on mineral transformation of Zhundong coal during gasification in CO2/H2O conditions

Yinhe Liu et al.

Summary: This study investigates the mineral evolution behavior of Hongshaquan coal and Jiangjunmiao coal, both of which exhibit similar mineral compositions. However, gasification atmosphere significantly influences the transformation of minerals in coal samples, leading to different slag compositions under varying CO2/H2O conditions. Additionally, the presence of water vapor in the atmosphere promotes the migration of alkali metal sodium in the coal slag and affects the slag viscosity, which is highest under a water vapor atmosphere followed by a CO2/H2O mixing atmosphere and pure CO2 atmosphere. This research provides valuable insights for understanding the effect of CO2/H2O gasification conditions on ZD coal mineral evolution behavior and offers practical guidance for gasifier operation.

Morphology Structure Evolution and Combustion Reactivity of Bituminous Char at Around Ash Melting Temperature

Zhang Yandi et al.

Summary: In slag tapping furnaces, char particles undergo complex structural evolution before and after being captured by the liquid slag layer, affecting carbon conversion rate. Experimental study on bituminous char at ash melting temperature reveals that as temperature increases, the ash droplets on char surface increase in size and density, with the gasification-specific surface area slightly greater than combustion-specific area. The content of chloride decreases to 1% and Fe, K, Mg, and Na content decrease significantly during pyrolysis across the ash melting temperature zone. The diffraction intensity of oldhamite increases while that of quartz dramatically decreases, indicating carbon substrate reaction with minerals during evolution. The ignition and burnout temperatures of char increase and combustion stability decreases with higher pyrolysis temperature.
