In this paper, coal tar from flash pyrolysis of Ping Zhuang lignite with solid heat carrier was used as raw material, which was directly synthesized a new type of additive for coal water slurry (CWS) in the laboratory. The wetting heat between the lignite and distilled water and solution of additive has been determined. It is evident that the wetting heat between the lignite and distilled water is very high, up to 44.56 J/g, which is harmful to preparing CWS. The wetting heat between the lignite and a solution of additive is reduced, which is related to its characteristics such as surface properties, oxygen functional groups and structure. The effect of coal properties on preparing CWS has also been analyzed systematically. It is suggested that the concentration of CWS is regularly changed with oxygen content of coal based on moisture and ash content. It is emphasized that when the influence of macerals on slurriability of coal is observed, inherent properties of each maceral such as pore structure, porosity, oxygen functional groups, grindability must be tightly combined to evaluate comprehensively. The structural characteristics of the additive matches well the molecular structure and surface properties of the coal. It is seen by synthetic experiments that suitable a degree of sulphonating and condensation are beneficial to preparing CWS. The rheology and stability of CWS have also been investigated. The result indicates that the stability of CWS using the new type of additive is improved, and the production cost of the additive synthesized from low temperature pyrolysis coal tar can be reduced.
