โฆ Synopsis
Two bituminous coals, a high volatile Eastern Canadian and a medium volatile Western Canadian, were used to investigate the effect of oxidation on yieldsand chemical composition of gases, liquids and chars produced during coal pyrolysis. Pyrolysis experiments were performed at 500ยฐC using the Fischer assay method. Mild oxidation of coals resulted in a decrease of liquid hydrocarbon yields. Further coal oxidation increased the proportion of aromatic carbon in liquid products as determined by n.m.r., and also increased the content of oxygen in liquid products. The content of oxygen in chars was markedly lower than in corresponding coals. An attempt is made to explain reactions occurring during oxidation and subsequent pyrolysis of coal on the basis of differences in chemical composition of gases, liquids and chars.

Commercial gasification processes are usually operated at high pressure for economic considerations. However, there is very little information available on the influence of pressure on the carbonization of coal under conditions relevant to high pressure fixed bed gasifiers. This investigation involv
