Abstract:

TG-DTG and DTA determination indicated that ignition temperature of anthracite was lowered from 458℃ to 405℃ by addition of 10% catalyst Fe2O3.Based on the nature of anthracite ignition temperature, pyrolysis conversion and pyrolysis gas composition during the catalytic combustion were examined.The results showed that with Fe2O3 addition anthracite pyrolysis conversion was 3.0% at 405℃ and components with higher heating value increased in the pyrolysis gas. However, without Fe2O3 addition pyrolysis conversion was 1.8% at ignition temperature.It could be concluded that the heat from the homogeneous combustion of catalytic combustion was higher than that of non-catalytic combustion.TG-DTG indicated combustion conversion of 10 % at ignition.SEM images of chars indicated rough surface of char with plenty of small pores.BET of char from catalytic combustion was 170 m2•g-1 while BET of char from non-catalytic combustion was only 128 m2•g-1, which could be the main reason for lowering ignition temperature.The results from oxygen adsorption experiment showed increased oxygen content of coal with catalyst addition, which caused faster oxygen adsorption at a lower temperature and shortened the time to get required oxygen concentration and heat accumulation for ignition, thus the ignition temperature was lowered.

摘要: 利用TG-DTG法和DTA法研究了无烟煤催化燃烧时燃点的变化情况,结果表明Fe2O3可使无烟煤的燃点降低。基于无烟煤燃点的形成原因和催化热解过程,研究了催化热解过程中热解转化率、热解气组成、半焦表面结构的变化情况,结果表明Fe2O3促进了无烟煤的热解,热解转化率、热解气的组成明显变化,热解气热值增加。催化热解产生的半焦表面形貌粗糙,颗粒细碎,比表面积大。由于热解过程直接影响到点燃过程,因此通过催化热解的研究,可知催化燃烧过程中均相燃烧(热解气燃烧)提供给异相燃烧(半焦燃烧)的热量高于非催化燃烧。同时催化热解所得半焦的吸附氧气能力强,在低温时吸附氧气的速率较快,缩短了达到点燃时所需氧气浓度的时间,进而降低了无烟煤的燃点。
