(In Chincsc~ The pore structure of Daton Newlands and Blair Athol coal chars, and the rate of gasification of t%cse chars with CO, were measured at loO_ 15ooOand normal pressure. The relationship of the change of pore structure and inner surface area during gasification was studied.
Cosl hydromothmolysls wlth coko-ovon gas. 2. %01%4 Influoncs of the coko-ovon gas components on pyrolysis yblds Braekman-Danhcux, C. et af., Fuel, Jan. 1995, 74, (l), 17-19. To improve the economics of the hydropyrolysis of coal by reducing the bcuscdhIstcadof hydrogen cost, it has been suggested that coke-oven pure hydrogen. The paper describes the role of meg c and some minor iompckenti in the &ki-wen gas during lysis and their influence on the oil and PBSvields. Pvrolvsis was con k” uctcd at 765’C under 3 MPa of various gas-&x&s sir&la&g coke-oven gas. The results clearly demonstrate the possibility of using coke-oven gas for coal p rolysis and lead to the conclusion that synergy between metallurg *ca! cokemaking and ‘creaming-off’ coal by hydropyrolysis will be profitable to both processes.

(In ChillCsC) The velocitv orofile and residence time distribution ln a cold Texaco napifier were r&&&d. The results showed that recirculation occurrcd”at a height of 2.5 - 3 times gasifier diameter; maximum recirculation rate was about 3.5 times that of jet stream. The residence time of the first 1% of the stream was even less than 0.056 s. Presents the equation of a dimensionless velocity profdc and a model of the function of residence time distribution density.

Energy &Fuels, Nov.-Dec. 1994, 8, (6), 1175-1183. In earlier studies, zinc ferrite and zinc titanate were devel as rcgcnerable sorbcnts capable of removing hydrogen sulphide sg”om hot coalderived fuel gases. Manganese ore ti will timanfiesc carbonate. ,gr+itatcd from aqueous solutions, combined with alumina to form m uratcd pcllcts is shown to hold promise of being a highly-effective, inexpensive, rcgenerable sulphur sorbcnt for hot fuel gases. Although the thcrmod namits for sulphur removal by manganese predicts somewhat higher hy d;o gen sulphide ovc ressures than can be accomplished with zinc-based sorbcnts, zinc tends to ‘gc reduced to the metallic state under coal gasification conditions resulting in loss of capacity and activity by vola&atin of reactive surfaces. The paper addresses the physical and chemical behaviour of several sorbcnt formulations fabricated from manganese and alumina.

(Ill ckrmlul) The kinetics of gasification with water vapour and CO, at 2.5 Mpa total pressure, with the variation of partial pressures, were studied in a batchoocrated laboratorv-scale fluidlzed-bed reactor at 800-900 ’ for eight coals (r&$ng from lig& and brown coal to bituminous coals). For alicoals. a partial pressure dependence of the reaction rate was analo~us to pure carbon. Reaction rates related to a specific carbon convemon inc~cssed only partially with increased conversion, which cantlot exclusively be cxplamed by an increase of the inner surface area.
