油页岩热解过程矿物质行为分析

采用XRD、SEM、灰成分测定等方法对桦甸两个矿区的油页岩样品以及制备的半焦样品矿物质组成进行了分析,确认其主要成分均为,石英、方解石和黏土矿物。而半焦中矿物组成反映了油页岩中矿物质在热解中的变化。研究表明,在热解过程中油页岩中矿物质变化细微,其中,石英、长石没有变化;方解石有微量分解,生成的固体产物CaO与黄铁矿分解的硫反应生成CaS矿物;黏土矿物质受热脱除羟基,放出大量水分,同时分解产生的无定形玻璃体氧化硅与其他金属形成低熔点的共融物,导致部分半焦样品颗粒表面出现熔融态囊状结构。     

颗粒粒径对油页岩热解产油率的影响

以桦甸油页岩为原料研究了颗粒粒径对油页岩热解产油率的影响。将油页岩破碎、筛分得到<0.074、0.074~0.125、0.125~0.25、0.25~0.5、0.5~1和1~3 mm不同粒级样品,再将0.25~0.5、0.5~1和1~3 mm大粒级样品粉碎制得对应的细粉样品,采用低温干馏法和热重分析分别测定表征样品的油产率和有机质含量。结果表明,油产率随着粒径减小逐渐降低,从1~3 mm下的11.92%降到<0.074 mm下的6.14%。热重分析表明,有机质含量随着粒径降低而降低,且油产率与有机质含量有明显的线性关系。0.25~0.5、0.5~1和1~3 mm样品经粉碎后油产率降低、气产率升高,但变化值均小于1%。在破碎过程中有机质选择性地富集在大粒级样品中,且页岩油二次反应程度随着粒径的减小而增大,使得页岩油产率随着粒径的降低而降低,且有机质选择性富集是主导因素。

爱沙尼亚油页岩及其热解产物的电子顺磁共振研究

采用电子顺磁共振（EPR）技术,系统地研究了热解温度对样品自由基浓度、g因子和线宽的影响。结果表明,油页岩干酪根及其制备的热解产物沥青、焦油和半焦的自由基浓度为2.29×10¹⁴-9.16×10¹⁴。当热解温度低于380℃时,主要发生干酪根的热解聚,当热解温度超过380℃,主要为中间产物热沥青的分解阶段,表现为热沥青的自由基浓度N_g和g因子值高于半焦。对EPR谱图线宽分析可知,当温度高于380℃时,焦油的线宽明显大于半焦和热沥青,说明液体内部自由基中自旋粒子间以及自旋粒子与环境的相互作用要比固体剧烈的多。温度低于380℃时,半焦和热沥青由于热解反应的进行,自由基自旋粒子之间及其与环境的相互作用增强,线宽随着温度的升高而增加。温度高于380℃时,半焦和热沥青的EPR曲线线宽降低,表明随着温度的升高自由基自旋粒子的相互作用减弱。     

稻草与煤固定床共热解特性的研究

选取稻草为生物质原料,将其与两种不同煤阶的煤(内蒙褐煤和神府烟煤)分别以0∶100、20∶80、40∶60、60∶40、80∶20、100∶0的干基质量比均匀混合.借助固定床反应器,研究了稻草与两种煤的共热解特性,探讨了共热解过程中可能存在的协同作用.结果表明,稻草添加有利于共热解气体产物的生成,且对神府煤作用更明显;稻草含量越高,热解气体产量的实验值与加权平均计算值的偏差也越大,说明稻草与煤共热解过程发生了协同作用.而共热解所得焦产量的实验值与加权平均计算值基本一致.热解焦傅里叶红外光谱分析结果表明,稻草添加对热解焦的官能团未造成显著影响.

AP-TPR-MS法考察六枝煤固定床热解过程中的硫变迁行为

实验选取六枝(LZ)原煤及其在固定床热解所得半焦,采用常压程序升温还原 质谱法（AP-TPR-MS）与化学法相结合考察温度和气氛对固定床热解过程中硫变迁行为的影响。对于LZ煤而言,经氮气气氛500℃热解后,只能使煤中部分不稳定有机硫分解,黄铁矿硫却不能分解;而经氮气气氛700℃热解后可以使不稳定有机硫和黄铁矿硫全部分解。合成气气氛在500℃以前煤中的不稳定有机硫和黄铁矿硫就能全部分解,且随着温度的升高,合成气表现出与氢气相近的脱硫活性。1.0% O₂-N₂对于六枝煤并没有明显的脱硫效果,这与氮气气氛相差不大。

The determination of a complex kinetic expression of oil shale pyrolysis using combined non-isothermal and isothermal TG

The kinetic expression commonly used in the thermal analysis of oil shale pyrolysis was derived on the basis of a simple first order kinetic equation of kerogen decomposition. The activation energy, as well as the reaction rate constant of oil shale pyrolysis could be determined by using non-isothermal (NI) or isothermal (I) TG. However, the kinetic parameters determined by using either NI or I did not enable the good prediction of the kerogen conversion at other conditions.The comparative results of the NI and I-TG of different oil shales are discussed in the study, as well as the effects of the so-called combined non-isothermal and isothermal TG (NI/I). The obtained results indicate that a mechanism must be postulated based on a complex reaction scheme which involves more than one simple reaction.

Zusammenfassung Die im allgemeinen benutzte Kinetikgleichung in der Thermoanalyse von Ölschieferpyrolyse wurde auf der Grundlage einer einfachen kinetischen Gleichung erster Ordnung der Kerogenzersetzung erhalten. Mittels nichtisothermer (NI) oder isothermer (I) TG kann sowohl die Aktivierungsenergie als auch die Reaktionsgeschwindigkeitskonstante der Ölschieferpyrolyse bestimmt werden. Die unter Anwendung von NI oder I ermittelten kinetischen Parameter ermöglichen jedoch keine gute Voraussage des Kerogenumsatzes bei anderen Bedingungen.Es werden hier die Vergleichsergebnisse aus NI- bzw. I-TG von verschiedenen Ölschiefern als auch die Auswirkungen auf die sogenannte kombinierte nichtisotherme und isotherme TG (NI/I) besprochen. Die erhaltenen Ergebnisse zeigen, daß ein Mechanismus angenommen werden muß, der auf einem komplexen Reaktionsschema aus mehr als aus einer einfachen Reaktion basiert.

     

Fluidised bed pyrolysis of Moroccan oil shales using the hamburg pyrolysis process

In the present work, the pyrolysis of the Moroccan Timahdit oil shale was studied, using a fluidised bed process. Four experiments were carried out at different temperatures between 520 and 630 °C. By mass balance could be shown that in relation to the kerogen content up to 60 wt.% of oil and 25 wt.% of gas are obtained. These are 40% higher yields compared with the Fischer assay. It was shown that the carbon in the residue, which is much lower (only 12 wt.%) than in the Fischer assay (26 wt.%), explains this difference.     

Continuous fast pyrolysis of biomass at high temperature in a fluidized bed reactor

In order to perform biomass pyrolysis a continuous fluidized bed reactor (bench scale unit) has been assembled. The influence of experimental conditions such as heating-up time and optimum particle diameter is presented. By feeding the biomass (almond shells) directly into the bubbling bed, pyrolysis has been performed at temperatures ranging from 730° to 930°C at constant feed rate (44 g/h). Remarkable increase of H₂ in the product gas is observed when steam rather than an inert carrier such as nitrogen is used thus confirming the potential of this approach.The support of ENEA (Italian Agency for Renewable Energies) is gratefully acknowledged.     

Thermal analysis studies of oil shale residual carbon

Thermal analysis has been used to determine the impact of heating on the decomposition reaction of two Moroccan oil shales between ambient temperature and 500°C. During pyrolysis of raw oil shale, the residual organic matter (residual carbon) obtained for both shales depends on the heating rate (5 to 40°C min^-1). Three stages characterize the overall process: the concentration of carbonaceous residue decreases with increase of heating rate, become stable around 12°C min^-1 and continue to decrease at higher heating rates. Activation energies were determined using the Coats-Redfern method. Results show a change in the reaction mechanism at around 350°C. Below this temperature, the activation energy was 41.3 kJ mol^-1 for the decomposition of Timahdit, and 40.5 kJ mol^-1 for Tarfaya shale. Above this temperature the respective values are 64.3 and 61.3 kJ mol^-1. The reactivity of Timahdit and Tarfaya oil shale residual carbon prepared at 12°C min^-1 was subject to a dynamic air atmosphere to determine their thermal behaviour. Residual carbon obtained from Tarfaya oil shale is shown to be more reactive than that obtained from Timahdit oil shale. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Influence of pre-oxidation on kerogen concentrate (KC) pyrolysis

In this study, the rate of pyrolysis and oxidation of 8 different samples of oil shale kerogen concentrate (KC) were investigated using TG/DTG technique. The rate of pyrolysis after preoxidation step performed at low temperature (below 230°C), was also studied. The determined pyrolysis activation energy increases with increasing paraffinic structure in the KC: an opposite effect was determined in the case of oxidation. Comparison of the reaction rate constants of the pyrolysis as well as the oxidation of untreated and pre-oxidized KC samples indicated the basis of the proposed thermal method for kerogen type determination.

Zusammenfassung Mittels TG/DTG wird die Pyrolyse- und Oxidationsgeschwindigkeit von 8 verschiedenen Ölschieferkerogenkonzentraten (KC) untersucht, ebenso die Pyrolysegeschwindigkeit nach einem Präoxidationsschritt bei niedriger Temperatur (unter 230°C). Die Pyrolyse-Aktivierungsenergie steigt mit zunehmender Paraffinstruktur im KC, ein entgegengesetzter Effekt kann bei der Oxidation beobachtet werden. Ein Vergleich der Reaktionsgeschwindigkeit von Pyrolyse und Oxidation sowohl bei unbehandelten als auch voroxidierten KC-Proben zeigt auf die Basis der empfohlenen thermischen Methode bei Bestimmungen von kerogenen Substanzen.

     

Kinetics of combustion of oil shale with polystyrene

The combustion kinetics of Göynük oil shale, polystyrene and several polystyrene-oil shale blends were investigated by thermogravimetric analysis in the present study. Experiments were conducted at non-isothermal conditions with a heating rate of 5, 10 and 20 K min^?1 in the 298–1173 K temperature interval under an air atmosphere. Differential thermogravimetric data were analyzed by two different models. Effects of blending ratio of oil shale and polystyrene and heating rate on the combustion kinetics were investigated. Kinetic parameters were determined and the results were discussed.     

Coal pyrolysis in a fluidized bed reactor simulating the process conditions of coal topping in CFB boiler

Simulating the conditions of pyrolytic topping in a fluidized bed reactor integrated into a CFB boiler, the study was devoted to the reaction fundamentals of coal pyrolysis in terms of the production characteristics of pyrolysis oil in fluidized bed reactors, including pyrolysis oil yield, required reaction time and the chemical species presented in the pyrolysis oil. The results demonstrated that the maximal pyrolysis oil yield occurred on conditions of 873 K, with a reaction time of 3 min and in a reaction atmosphere gas simulating the composition of pyrolysis gas. Adding H₂ and CO₂ into the reaction atmosphere decreased the pyrolysis oil yield, while the oil yield increased with increasing the CO and CH₄ contents in the atmosphere. TG-FTIR analysis was conducted to reveal the effects of reaction atmosphere on the chemical species present in the pyrolysis oil. The results clarified that the pyrolysis oil yield reached its maximum when the simulated pyrolysis gas was the reaction atmosphere, but there were slightly fewer volatile matters in the pyrolysis oil than the oil generated in the N₂ atmosphere. All of these results are expected not only to reveal the composition characteristics of the pyrolysis oil from different conditions of the coal topping process but also to optimize the pyrolysis conditions in terms of maximizing the light pyrolysis oil yield and quality.     

Study on the pyrolysis of Moroccan oil shale with poly (ethylene terephthalate)

Investigations into the pyrolytic behaviours of oil shale, poly (ethylene terephthalate) (PET) and their mixture have been conducted using a thermogravimetric analyzer. Experiments were carried out dynamically by increasing the temperature from 298 to 1273 K with heating rates of 2 to 100 K/min under a nitrogen atmosphere. Discrepancies between the experimental and calculated TG/DTG profiles were considered as a measurement of the extent of interactions occurring on co-pyrolysis. The maximum degradation temperature of each component in the mixture was higher than those the individual components; thus an increase in thermal stability was expected. The kinetic processing of thermogravimetric data was carried out using Flynn-Wall-Ozawa (FWO) method.     

Heating rate effect on the DSC kinetics of oil shales

This research was aimed to investigate the combustion and kinetics of oil shale samples (Mengen and Himmetoğlu) by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Experiments were performed in air atmosphere up to 600°C at five different heating rates. The DSC curves clearly demonstrate distinct reaction regions in the oil shale samples studied. Reaction intervals, peak and burn-out temperatures of the oil shale samples are also determined. Arrhenius kinetic method was used to analyze the DSC data and it was observed that the activation energies of the samples are varied in the range of 22.4–127.3 kJ mol⁻¹ depending on the oil shale type and heating rate.
