基于Py-GC联用的煤快速热解实验研究

采用居里点裂解仪-气相色谱仪(Py-GC)联用的方法研究了4种煤的快速热解特性,分析了挥发分主要气相产物及其析出规律.结果表明,大于等于50%的挥发分在热解初期(t ≤ 2 s)释放,采用箔片装载方式的居里点裂解仪完全热解1 mg煤样需要10 s;挥发分主要气相产物中,各气体组分的生成量(mmol/g_coal)顺序为H₂ > CH₄ > CO > CO₂ > C2(C₂H₆、C₂H₄)> C3(C₃H₈、C₃H₆);挥发分释放量随热解温度的升高而增加,相同热解条件下,次烟煤挥发分的释放率高于贫煤和无烟煤;H₂和CH₄的生成量依赖于热解温度,热解温度越高,H₂和CH₄的生成量越多;CO和CO₂的生成量不仅与热解温度相关,而且与煤中的氧含量紧密相关,氧含量越高的煤热解生成的CO和CO₂越多;C2和C3气体的生成量相对于其他气体很少,体积占挥发分气相产物的5%.     

碱金属碳酸盐对褐煤程序升温热解过程中H2S和NH3生成的影响

以内蒙古锡盟褐煤为研究对象,通过HCl/HF洗脱煤中固有矿物质,采用机械混合法对原煤和脱矿物质煤分别负载3%的Li₂CO₃、Na₂CO₃和K₂CO₃,利用固定床程序升温热解-色谱分析法考察了煤中固有矿物质以及负载的碱金属碳酸盐对煤热解过程中H₂S和NH₃生成的影响。结果表明,煤中所固有矿物质对锡盟褐煤热解过程中H₂S和NH₃的生成和释放均有抑制作用,但对H₂S和NH₃生成的影响不同;矿物质的脱除不改变煤中有机结构及硫的存在形态,H₂S的释放温区没有发生改变,而HCN的二次反应是NH₃生成的主要来源之一,酸洗脱矿物质改变了煤中孔结构特性,从而影响不同温度段NH₃的释放。原煤及脱矿物质煤负载的碱金属碳酸盐对其热解过程中H₂S和NH₃的生成都有一定的影响,K₂CO₃除外, 负载到原煤的其他碱金属碳酸盐都抑制了H₂S的生成;Na₂CO₃除外,负载到脱矿物质煤的其他碱金属碳酸盐都促进了NH₃的生成。     

哈密煤温和液化固体产物热解过程中硫的变迁规律

利用固定床反应器研究了哈密煤温和液化固体产物（MLS）在热解过程中含硫气体的释放规律以及不同形态硫的变迁规律，并分析了矿物质对硫变迁规律的影响。结果表明，在实验考察的条件范围内，MLS热解过程中大部分的硫残留在半焦中，仅有不到10%的硫迁移到焦油中或转化为含硫气体逸出。热解生成的含硫气体以H₂S为主，当热解温度为400℃时H₂S的逸出速率达到最大。通过改进方法测定了MLS及其热解半焦中各种形态硫的含量，发现MLS热解过程中以硫化物硫和有机硫的分解和转化为主。随着热解温度的升高，MLS中有机硫逐渐分解并以含硫气体的形式逸出；当热解温度低于600℃时，MLS中硫化物硫逐渐转化为含硫气体、有机硫和少量的黄铁矿硫；当热解温度高于600℃时，MLS中碱性矿物质吸收气相中的H₂S转化为硫化物硫，硫化物硫缓慢增加。醋酸酸洗可以保留MLS中大部分的硫化物硫，且酸洗后MLS热解生成的H₂S逸出速率增大，峰温向低温方向移动；当热解温度高于600℃时，有机硫和硫化物硫的脱硫反应速率降低，并且MLS中的碱性矿物质与H₂S反应生成金属硫化物，导致H₂S逸出速率明显降低。     

CO对褐煤快速热解行为的影响

利用快速升温固定床进行了霍林河褐煤在CO气氛下快速热解反应行为的研究,考察了热解半焦的产率、性质和气体产物的分布特点。半焦的红外光谱图、元素含量和表面结构性质分析表明,CO参与并改变了褐煤的热解行为。与N₂气氛相比,热解温度低于600 ℃时,带孤对电子的极性CO容易诱发半焦结构中芳香环的开裂,侧链、醚键和脂肪链的断裂,促进小分子片段和自由基的生成,自由基稳定了煤热解生成的碎片,导致挥发分的生成和逸出量增加,H₂、CH₄、CO和CO₂的产率增大,半焦产率降低,半焦的比表面积和孔容增大。热解温度高于700 ℃时,CO的歧化反应程度增大,产生的积碳附着于半焦的表面,阻塞了孔道,导致半焦的比表面积和孔容减小,从而抑制了CO在半焦孔隙结构内部的扩散,限制了CO与煤中有机大分子结构的接触和反应,导致H₂、CH₄和CO产率减小,而CO₂产率因CO歧化反应而增大。     

钾元素对生物质主要组分热解特性的影响

采用热重-红外联用仪对松木及生物质主要化学组分半纤维素、纤维素、木质素的热解特性及钾元素对其热解特性的影响进行了研究.结果表明,半纤维素、纤维素、木质素发生热解的主要温度分别为200~350 ℃、300~365 ℃和200~600 ℃;半纤维热解产物中CO、CO₂较多;纤维素热解产物中LG和醛酮类化合物最多;木质素热解主要形成固体产物,气体中CH₄相对含量较高.三种组分共热解过程中发生相互作用使热解温度提高、固体产物增加,气体中CO增加而CH₄减少.添加K₂CO₃后半纤维素和纤维素热解温度区间向低温方向移动,固体产率提高.K对纤维素作用最明显,CO、CO₂气体与固体产物产率明显增加,醛酮类和酸类物质的产率降低;木质素受K影响相对较小,热解固体产物略有增加,挥发分中H₂O和羰基物质增加;三组分共热解减弱了钾元素的催化作用.

本研究采用不等温热重法研究六种纤维（针叶、阔叶、竹、亚麻、草和棉）在N₂和空气气氛下的热解和燃烧特性,并采用Friedman法对其进行动力学分析。结果表明,纤维不同的热解和燃烧特性参数与其自身结构组成有关。纤维在热解和燃烧过程中,其挥发分析出温度Ts、终止温度Th、DTG峰温T_max、固定碳燃烧峰温、最大质量损失速率、热解指数P和燃烧指数S均随着升温速率的增加而增加;在N₂气氛下,亚麻纤维T_max最大,竹纤维T_max最小,棉纤维的T_s最大,草纤维的最大热解质量损失速率-（dm/dt）_max、热解指数P和燃烧指数S均最小;在转化率为0.05-0.85条件下,阔叶纤维平均表观活化能最小（173.3 kJ/mol）,竹纤的最大（201.10 kJ/mol）。在空气气氛下,所有纤维的热解过程的T_max均低于N₂条件下,在转化率为0.05-0.65时,纤维在空气中热解的表观活化能E_α     

神木煤与不同黏结煤共热解交互作用规律的研究

利用程序升温热天平研究了神木煤（SMC）分别与气煤（QM）、肥煤（FM）、焦煤（JM）不同比例配合后的共热解交互作用规律,通过分布活化能模型（DAEM）对配合煤的热解动力学进行了考察。结果表明,随着SMC配入比例的增加,配合煤水分集中释放的速率增大,挥发分释放速率峰对应的温度t_max降低,配合煤在塑性固化温度后（>460-480 ℃）的热解过程中抑制作用减弱,表明配合煤黏结性降低。随着升温速率增加,配合煤热解抑制作用增强,表明配合煤黏结性提高。随着黏结煤变质程度加深（QM、FM、JM）,配合煤共热解发生促进作用（促进挥发分释放）的温度分别低于、介于、高于黏结煤塑性温度区间,因此,对缓解胶质体膨胀压力及改善胶质体分散性的作用逐渐降低。通过分布热解活化能实验值与理论值的比较,证实了配煤共热解过程中的交互作用规律。     

神府烟煤快速热解特性研究

利用高频电炉对神府煤进行快速热解,研究了不同热解温度和停留时间下,固相和气相产物的性质。结果表明,煤焦的失重率及真密度随温度升高和时间的延长而增长。红外光谱结果表明,热解过程中,煤中含氢/含氧官能团分解,生成H₂、CO、CO₂、CH₄等气体,并且其分解程度随温度的升高和时间的延长而加深。气相产物中H₂和CO的释放量随温度的升高和时间的延长而增加,而CO₂和CH₄存在释放量的峰值。气相产物随温度的升高和时间的延长而增多,导致高温煤焦出现大量的孔隙和裂缝。     

二氧化碳和水气氛对高钠煤转化过程中钠迁移的影响

对新疆的两种高钠煤（伊犁煤YL、呼图壁煤HTB）进行了N₂、CO₂和H₂O气氛和不同温度下钠迁移的研究。采用逐级萃取和湿法消解法确定了原煤、半焦中钠的赋存形态,定量研究了两种煤中钠的挥发及迁移规律。结果表明,YL煤的形态钠中水溶钠占80.08%,HTB煤的形态钠中不溶钠占61.54%。不同气氛下,升高温度都可促进两种煤中钠的挥发,半焦中水溶钠比例减小,醋酸铵可溶钠比例会出现先增加后减少现象,盐酸可溶钠比例呈增加趋势。对于YL煤,CO₂气氛可抑制钠的挥发,H₂O蒸气可促进钠的挥发;900℃时,YL煤CO₂气氛下钠挥发仅为N₂气氛下的50.25%,而H₂O气氛钠挥发为N₂气氛下的111.45%。对于HTB煤,CO₂气氛也可抑制钠的挥发,900℃时CO₂气氛下钠挥发为N₂气氛的80.91%;HTB煤在H₂O蒸气下,800℃之前钠挥发高于N₂,当900℃时,钠挥发略低于N₂气氛。YL煤形态钠中以水溶钠为主,其挥发的同时会向盐酸可溶钠及不溶钠转变。而HTB煤形态钠中以不溶钠为主,其次是水溶钠,CO₂和H₂O气氛能促进不溶钠向其他可溶态钠转变。

Investigation of the evolved gases from Sulcis coal during pyrolysis under N2 and H2 atmospheres

The evolution of gases and volatiles during Sulcis coal pyrolysis under different atmospheres (N₂ and H₂) was investigated to obtaining a clean feedstock of combustion/gasification for electric power generation. Raw coal samples were slowly heated in temperature programmed mode up to 800 °C at ambient pressure using a laboratory-scale quartz furnace coupled to a Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR) for evolved gas analysis. Under both pyrolysis and hydropyrolysis conditions the evolution of gases started at temperature as low as 100 °C and was mainly composed by CO and CO₂ as gaseous products. With increasing temperature SO₂, COS, and light aliphatic gases (CH₄ and C₂H₄) were also released. The release of SO₂ took place up to 300 °C regardless of the pyrolysis atmosphere, whilst the COS emissions were affected by the surrounding environment. Carbon oxide, CO₂, and CH₄ continuously evolved up to 800 °C, showing similar release pathways in both N₂ and H₂ atmospheres. Trace of HCNO was detected at low pyrolysis temperature solely in pure H₂ stream. Finally, the solid residues of pyrolysis (chars) were subjected to reaction with H₂ to produce CH₄ at 800 °C under 5.0 MPa pressure. The chars reactivity was found to be dependent on pyrolysis atmosphere, being the carbon conversions of 36% and 16% for charN₂ and charH₂, respectively.     

Pyrolysis and Oxidation of Methane in a RF Plasma Reactor

The chemical kinetic effects of RF plasma on the pyrolysis and oxidation of methane were studied experimentally and computationally in a laminar flow reactor at 100 Torr and 373 K with and without oxygen addition into He/CH₄ mixtures. The formation of excited species as well as intermediate species and products in the RF plasma reactor was measured with optical emission spectrometer and Gas Chromatography and the data were used to validate the kinetic model. The kinetic analysis was performed to understand the key reaction pathways. The experimental results showed that H₂, C₂ and C₃ hydrocarbon formation was the major pathways for plasma assisted pyrolysis of methane. In contrast, with oxygen addition, C₂ and C₃ formation dramatically decreased, and syngas (H₂ and CO) became the major products. The above results revealed oxygen addition significantly modified the chemistry of plasma assisted fuel pyrolysis in a RF discharge. Moreover, an increase of E/n was found to be more beneficial for the formation of higher hydrocarbons while a small amount of oxygen was presented in a He/CH₄ mixture. A reaction path flux analysis showed that in a RF plasma, the formation of active species such as CH₃, CH₂, CH, H, O and O (¹D) via the electron impact dissociation reactions played a critical role in the subsequent processes of radical chain propagating and products formation. The results showed that the electronically excitation, ionization, and dissociation processes as well as the products formation were selective and strongly dependent on the reduced electric field.     

Metastable ions of methane and their use in calibrating a low mass scale

The decomposition of metastable positive ions of methane formed by electron bombardment is discussed. Some new collision-induced decompositions involving the formation of H⁺, H₂⁺˙ and H₃⁺ have been found in the ion kinetic energy spectrum as well as in the mass spectrum of methane. In the latter case, the ‘metastable peaks’ occur below mass 1 on the mass scale and can be used for mass calibration in this region of the mass spectrum.     

New data on gas-phase radical reactions in the steam reforming of methane in the presence of catalysts: I. Nickel catalysts

Methane pyrolysis and steam reforming were studied over a series of nickel catalysts (Ni-Al₂O₃, Ni/MgO, and Ni/LiAlO₂) under the same conditions (650-750°C, P_CH4 = 0.001-0.03 MPa). Unlike heterogeneous reaction of pyrolysis, some of the steps of steam reforming of methane occur in the gas phase. When gasphase reactions were suppressed, the rate and activation energy of steam reforming are close to the corresponding kinetic characteristics for pyrolysis. Hypothetically, the rate-limiting step of the process is the dissociative adsorption of methane on nickel in this case.     

Pyrolysis behavior of pectin under the conditions that simulate cigarette smoking

In this paper, the formation mechanism of pyrolysis gases released during the pyrolysis of pectin under the conditions that simulate cigarette smouldering was investigated by thermogravimetric analysis coupled to Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (TG-FTIR). Moreover, the combustion behavior of pyrolysis gases was studied by micro-scale combustion calorimetry (MCC). TG-FTIR results illustrated that the composition of the gaseous products was mainly composed of CO₂, H₂O, CO, methanol, methane and carbonyl compounds. MCC results demonstrated that the combustion of pectin was mainly determined by the prolysis gases formed in the temperature range of 200-300 °C. Flash pyrolysis experiment in combination with high performance liquid chromatography (FPy-HPLC) was used to study the pyrolytic formation of eight carbonyl compounds (i.e. formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, acetone, acrolein, propionaldehyde, crotonaldehyde, methyl ethyl ketone and butyraldehyde) during the pyrolysis of pectin under the pyrolysis conditions of cigarette puffing. Results demonstrated that pyrolysis temperature influenced the formation of acetaldehyde, acrolein, propionaldehyde and butyraldehyde greatly, while nitrogen flow affected the generation of formaldehyde, acetone, crotonaldehyde and methyl ethyl ketone deeply.     

Formation mechanism of methane during coal evolution: A density functional theory study

The formation mechanism of methane (CH₄) during coal evolution has been investigated by density functional theory (DFT) of quantum chemistry. Thermogenic gas, which is generated during the thermal evolution of medium rank coal, is the main source of coalbed methane (CBM). Ethylbenzene (A) and 6,7-dimethyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-1-hydroxynaphthalene (B) have been used as model compounds to study the pyrolysis mechanism of highly volatile bituminous coal (R), according to the similarity of bond orders and bond lengths. All possible paths are designed for each model. It can be concluded that the activation energies for H-assisted paths are lower than others in the process of methane formation; an H radical attacking on β-C to yield CH₄ is the dominant path for the formation of CH₄ from highly volatile bituminous coal. In addition, the calculated results also reveal that the positions on which H radical attacks and to which intramolecular H migrates have effects on methyl cleavage.     

H2气氛下褐煤快速热解过程中CH4逸出规律的分析

在带有输送煤样的管式反应器上进行了霍林河褐煤加压快速氢解实验,分析了H₂对煤/半焦的化学键断裂和对CH₄生成规律的影响。在加压快速氢解条件下,CH₄产率随着热解温度升高、压力的增大而增大;在50% H₂气氛下,操作压力为1.0 MPa、温度为900 ℃时,CH₄产率为8.08%,达到最大,较N₂气氛下的提高了72.5%。H₂或H·自由基诱发了芳环的开裂、侧链、脂肪链和醚键的断裂,促进了煤热解。CH₄产率的增加主要是由于外部供H的结果;热解温度低于700 ℃时,H₂对煤结构中活性基团的作用促进了煤热解,导致了CH₄产率的增加;而热解温度高于700 ℃后,煤/半焦加氢气化促进了CH₄产率的增加。     

Continuous high-temperature fluidized bed pyrolysis of coal in complex atmospheres: Product distribution and pyrolysis gas

This study is devoted to investigating the continuous coal pyrolysis in a laboratory fluidized bed reactor that fed coal and discharged char continuously at temperatures of 750–980 °C and in N₂-base atmospheres containing O₂, H₂, CO, CH₄ and CO₂ at varied contents. The results showed that the designed continuous pyrolysis test provided a clear understanding of the coal pyrolysis behavior in various complex atmospheres free of and with O₂. The effect of adding H₂, CO, CH₄ or CO₂ into the atmosphere on the tar yield was related to the O₂ content in the atmosphere. Without O₂ in the atmosphere, adding H₂ and CO₂ decreased the pyrolysis tar yield, but the tar yield was conversely higher with raising the CO and CH₄ contents in the atmosphere. In O₂-containing atmospheres, the influence from varying the atmospheric gas composition on the product distribution and pyrolysis gas composition was closely related to the oxidation or gasification reactions occurring to char, tar and the tested gas.
