Abstract: | The coal samples were collected from Yima coal district, China. The pyrolysis experiments were carried out in a simulated bed quartz reactor with a heating rate of 20 °C/min. The 44 elements in raw coal and chars were determined by inductively coupled-plasma mass spectrometry instrument (ICP-MS). The release and enrichment behavior of 44 trace elements during coal pyrolysis of Yima coal was studied. According to the transformation behaviors, chemical features and thermal features under different pyrolysis temperatures, the 44 elements can be categorized to 4 groups: light elements (Li and Be), nonmetal elements (Se, As, B, etc.), heavy metal elements (including 24 elements, Cu, V, Co, etc.) and rear earth elements (REE) (14 elements). The results showed that (1) the higher pyrolysis temperatures, the higher release ratio and release ratio of REE are very low; (2) the enrichment ratios of the elements in chars increase by the sequence of nonmetal elements < light elements < heavy metal elements < REE. The nonmetal elements, light elements and a few heavy metal elements will be emitted out from coal during coal pyrolysis and they will pollute environment. |
