简介：Investigationsonthepyrolysisandkineticbehaviorsduringpyrolysisoffossilfuelsamples,suchascoal,arefundamentalfordevelopingtherelatedtechnologyandpracticalapplication.Inthiswork,pyrolysisbehaviorandkineticsinthepyrolysisprocessofacoalsamplewereinvestigatedbythethermogravimetricanalyzerataheatingrateof10,40,70,100,200,and500°C/min,respectively.ThepyrolysisprocesscouldbedividedintofourstagesaccordingtotheTG/DTGcurves.Thefirststagewasmainlyattributedtotheremovalofvolatiles,andthesecondpeakwasthepolycondensationreactionbetweenthevolatilecomponents.Itwasfoundthatmorevolatilescouldbereleasedfromcoalduringpyrolysisathigherheatingrateandthehigherpyrolysistemperaturewasnecessaryforarapidpyrolysisprocess.Kineticanalysisrevealedthatboththemodel-free(KASandFWO)andtheCoats-Redfernmethodsweresuitabletodescribingthepyrolysisprocess,andthevariationofactivationenergy(E)withthetwotypesofkineticmodelswasconsistentduringthewholepyrolysisprocess.Furthermore,theheatingratedidnotalterthereactionsequenceofthewholepyrolysisprocess,buthigherheatingratecouldmaketheEvalueoftheinitialpyrolysisstagesmaller.
