Abstract

The combustion of brown coal chars, obtained at different pyrolysis temperatures, have been investigated using TG, DTG and DTA thermal analysis methods. The burning profiles and the kinetic parameters derived from TG and DTA data show that all the chars are less reactive than the parent coal. The higher temperature chars have lower overall reactivity. From the corresponding infrared spectra, the chars obtained at 800 °C and 1000 °C appear to have graphitic structures.

Zusammenfassung

Mittels TG-, DTG- und DTA-Methoden wurde die Verbrennung von unter verschiedenen Pyrolysetemperaturen erhaltenen Braunkohlenschwelkoksen untersucht. Das Verbrennungsprofil und die kinetischen Parameter, erhalten aus TG und DTG, zeigen, daß die Schwelkokse eine geringere Aktivität haben, als die ursprüngliche Braunkohle. Die Schwelkokse höherer Temperatur besitzen eine niedrigere resultierende Aktivität. Aufgrund der entsprechenden IR-Spektren besitzen die bei 800 °C und 1000 °C erhaltenen Schwelkokse eine Graphitstruktur.

Резюме

Методом ТГ, ДТГ и ДТА из учено горение обожженных образцов лигнита, полученных при разли чных температурах пи ролиза. Профили их горения и к инетические параметры, установле нные из данных ТГ и ДТГ показали, что все обожженные об разцы обладали меньшей реа кционной способност ью по сравнению с исходным углем. Образцы, обожженные при более высоких температура х, обладали еще более низкой реак ционной способностью. Как пок азали ИК спектры, обра зцы, полученные при 800 и 1000°, об ладают структурой графита.
