✦ Synopsis

A rapid quantitative estimation of carbon dioxide by infrared spectrophotometry provided a rapid and reliable technique for a semi-quantitative comparison of the reactivity of carbon samples to oxidative gases, since the previously demonstrated inverse relation between ease of wet oxidation of carbon samples and their reactivity to oxidizing gases was confirmed. Wet-oxidation characteristics of Montana lignite char, FMC bituminouscoal char, and electrode carbon were tested. The effect of particle size, carbon content and potassium oxide as a catalyst were investigated. Potassium oxide appeared to inhibit the wet oxidation of Montana lignite char, which observation extends the inverse relation for uncatalysed samples. The method adopted in this technique can provide the basis for choice between atternative char samples either for complete gasification or combustion.

The reactivities of eight Canadian coal-derived chars of four different ranks were measured thermogravimetrically at 500°C. It has been found that char reactivity decreases with increase in the carbon content (or rank) of the parent coal. Chars containing more calcium and magnesium oxides have highe
