In this paper, a model is presented which describes the coupled drying and devolatilization of low rank coals in fluidized beds. Experiments are also performed in a three inch ID fluidized bed unit using alumina as bed particles to obtain data for drying and devolatilization of Mississippi lignite. The model predictions are then compared with the experimental data obtained.
