✦ Synopsis

Reactivities of sixteen 40 x 100 (U.S.) mesh U.S. coals charred to 1000°C were measured in carbon dioxide at 900°C. Chars derived from coals with less than 80% carbon, on a dry-ash-free basis, were the most reactive. These chars also gave the widest spread in reactivity.

Plots of inorganic element content in the chars versus reactivity showed that magnesium and calcium are important to char reactivity. Six coals were acid-washed with hydrochloric acid and four coals were further demineralized with hydrofluoric acid. Most acid-treated coals showed a decrease in reactivity; but two coals of high rank increased in reactivity. This increase in reactivity is attributed to the creation of additional porosity as a result of mineral matter removal and thus a reduction in resistance to carbon dioxide diffusion to reactive sites. Two demineralized and two original coals were divided into four size ranges and chars were produced from each size of each coal. Gasification rates increased monotonically with decreasing particle size reacted.
