Self-ignition of coal during in-situ gasification. Thermoanalytical investigations. Selbstentzuendung von Kohlen bei der Untertagevergasung. Thermoanalytische Untersuchungen

Abstract

The underground gasification of deep coal strata via boreholes presupposes flow ways for the gasifying agent and the gasified media with a sufficiently high degree of permeability. Canal burning during countercurrent flow in low depths has been tested as a technical method for linking boreholes and enhancing gas permeability. For the execution of in situ gasification the control or prevention of the spontaneous ignition of the coal under high pressure should not be ignored, because of self-ignition resulting from canal burning in the linking phase. To investigate enthalpy change during the oxidation of coal under various conditions, a device for differential thermal analysis (DTA) was developed and constructed with which temperature development as a result of oxidation in a flowing pressure-gas atmosphere could be observed. A caloric calibration of the device permitted a direct inference of enthalpic difference from differential thermal potential as a measured value. With a regression model for reaction kinetics, the intensity of heat development was linked with kinetic data; this permitted a description of the dependence of the oxidation process on temperature and material concentration. From the interconnections discovered between the carbonization degree and enthalpy change during oxidation we may conclude that the oxidation process is  More>>

From the interconnections discovered between the carbonization degree and enthalpy change during oxidation we may conclude that the oxidation process is controlled by the emergence of thermal decomposition products. The heat tonality diagram of the DTA of coal oxidation can be divided into three phases and interpreted in connection with the different degrees of carbonization. The results of the investigation reveal that inactivation of the coal before the actual process of linking is of considerable importance. (MOS).}
