✦ Synopsis
Reaction kinetics of char-CO, gasification at atmospheric pressure were investigated in a therrnobalance reactor using four coals of different rank. Effects of coal rank (lignite to semianthracite), particle size (0.18 to 1.00 mm), reaction temperature (700 to 9OO'C) and concentration (30 to 100 ~01%) of the reactant gas (CO,) on the conversion rate of char gasification were determined. The gasification reaction order and the reaction rate constant were determined from the conversion data, and the activation energy of the reaction was determined from the Arrhenius plot. Chemical reactivity of the char was correlated with the carbon content of the parent coals, particle size, partial pressure of CO, and reaction temperature. The experimental conversion data are well represented by the unreacted shrinking core model in which chemical reaction is the rate-controlling step.

Kinetic studies have been carried out to elucidate the mechanisms of steam and CO, gasification of char and the interactions of these gasifying agents. The positive and negative influences of all product gases, excluding methane, were considered. An empirical approach was derived to describe the eff
CO, gasification of a gas-coal char catalysed by Na,C03 and K&O, was studied using a fixed-bed reactor at 79S102o"C and 0.2 MPa. The gasification rate increased with increasing temperature. With increasing addition of Na2C03 in the range 9-25 wt% and K&O, in the range 5-20 wt% the rate increased sha
This work reports a kinetic study of the pressurized gasification of a lignite char with CO,, H, and steam using a packed bed balance reactor (PBBR) system. The kinetics were studied under selected conditions in which the external and internal diffusion effects were negligible and chemical reaction
