Abstract:
We self-design a micro fluidized bed reactor (MFB) with combination of an online char particle sampling system to study the kinetics of coal char combustion and gasification. The system mainly contains two parts: a micro fluidized bed and vacuum online sampling. Vientiane coal was continuously sampled from the MFB. Both combustion and gasification reactivities of the sampled chars were tested in a thermogravimetric analyzer. Kinetic parameters of the sampled char were analyzed. Char reactivity in oxy-fuel combustion in the MFB obeys the rule of decrease–increase–decrease behavior with the sampling time. Pre-exponential factor A and activation energy E of the sampled char increase with the sampling time. The gasification reactivity of the sampled char increases with the sampling time even though there is a minor decrease in an initial gasification stage. The new designed MFB combining with the online sampling system will pave the path for the investigation of gas–solid reaction evolution in the future.
