摘要
This study reports on the reactivity of chars obtained at 1000 degreesC and 1300 degreesC (within the range of temperatures reached by coal particles in the near-burner zone of pulverised fuel boilers) from three different coals. The coals were selected according to petrographic criteria: two of them are high volatile bituminous coals differing in maceral composition and the third one is a vitrinite-rich low volatile bituminous coal. The morphology and optical texture of the chars were studied by optical microscopy. The kinetic parameters for the combustion of the high temperature chars under Regime I(combustion controlled by chemical kinetics) have been obtained and related to the optical texture and reflectance of the chars. The intrinsic reactivity of the high temperature chars was found to be lower than that of the low temperature chars, whereas the enhanced porosity observed in the high temperature chars had a positive effect on their combustion reactivity under Regime II (combustion controlled by oxygen pore diffusion). The intrinsic reactivities of the chars decreased following the sequence: vitrinite-rich low rank char > inertinite-rich char > vitrinite-rich high rank char. As the combustion temperature increases, the reactivity of the inertinite-rich char approaches that of the low rank vitrinite-rich char, which justifies the good performance observed for high volatile bituminous inertinite-rich coals in power plants.
