TPD study on SO{sub 2} gasification of coal char
- Gunma Univ. (Japan)
Elementary sulfur can be recovered from SO{sub 2}-containing gas by a gasification reaction between carbon and SO{sub 2}. Gasification of coal chars ranging from brown coal to anthracite was carried out in SO{sub 2} atmosphere using thermo-balance. The gasification temperature ranged from 923 to 1123 K. The SO{sub 2} concentration was 5.3 vol%. Yallourn coal, Australian brown coal, was impregnated with several catalysts. Potassium carbonate, sodium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide and iron nitrate were used as the starting materials for catalyst impregnation. The active site for SO{sub 2} gasification of coal char was evaluated with TPD technique. The gasification profile was strongly depended on the coal type. High reactivities were observed for low rank coal chars. The gasification rate was enormously enhanced by the addition of alkaline metal catalyst. TPD pattern was depended on the coal type and the catalyst addition. The amount of CO and CO{sub 2} desorbed during TPD procedure in fairly correlated to the reaction rate of sample.
