The aim of this study was to provide information pertinent to the development of a coal/RDF pyrolysis process capable of economically creating valuable solid, liquid, and gaseous products from high sulfur Illinois coal. Herrin Illinois {number_sign}6 coal, various plastics, cellulose, and a high quality RDG were pyrolyzed and steam pyrolyzed at various conditions. Blends of coal with various RDF components were reacted under identical conditions. first, there is evidence of reactive intermediates which can coke or be stabilized by steam. Lower temperatures and shorter reaction time lead to larger conversions and increase heavy liquid yields. Gas and light liquid yield are favored at higher temperatures. Second, synergistic interactions obtained in the TGA can be duplicated at short reaction times in the microreactors.
