The chemical effects of alternating electric fields on char gasification were studied through molecular dynamics simulations and quantum chemical calculations. The results show that electric fields can significantly promote the gasification reaction rate of char, and the effect increases exponentially with the field intensity. The electric field also affects the adsorption and desorption processes by promoting the formation of free radicals, increasing the polarity of the char edge, and weakening the curling of char macromolecules. The findings suggest that alternating electric fields have a remarkable impact on the field of solid fuel gasification.
Studying the chemical effects of alternating electric fields on char gasification is key to exploring the non-thermal effects of microwaves on the reaction mechanism. The gasification mechanism of char in the presence of an electric field was explored through molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and quantum chemical calculations. The results show that the promotion effect of 0.02 V/angstrom alternating electric field on the gasification reaction rate of char is about 8 times that of non-electric field, and the square wave electric field and static electric field are 6.79 times and 5.39 times respectively, this effect increases exponentially as the field intensity increases. Interestingly, the use of alternating electric fields showed, for the first time, that the changes in the electric field intensity and direction also have a significant effect. In terms of the adsorption process during gasification, the electric field promotes the formation of O and OH free radicals (about 5 times of no electric field) and increases the polarity of the char edge, both of which are conducive to adsorption. The electric field can weaken the curling of char macromolecules and expose more active carbon sites, thus increasing the overall reaction rate. For the desorption process during gasification, the presence of the electric field promotes the deformation and tear of char, which destroys its aromaticity, loosening the carbon-oxygen compounds at the carbon edge, which facil-itates the desorption of CO, the desorption rate is about 10 times that of non-electric field system. Further, the change in direction of the electric field also promotes the desorption process. The results from this study suggest that the remarkable effects of alternating electric fields on char molecules can have an impact on the field of solid fuel gasification.
