Abstract

The study of the processes occurring in the temperature range of the main decomposition of the organic mass of coal (OMC) makes it possible to understand both the general patterns and the specifics of the decomposition of solid fuels. This temperature interval is used to calculate the kinetic parameters of the process, which carry important information both about the nature of the structural-chemical transformations and about the structure and direction of thermal destruction of OMC. In this article, to study the kinetics of pyrolysis of coal, the method of thermogravimetric analysis was used, in which heating of coal samples was carried out in ceramic crucibles in the temperature range of 25-900 °C at different heating rates (5-25 deg/min) in nitrogen and oxygen media. Coal from the Kenderlyk deposit was chosen as the object of study. Based on the constructed differential DTG curves (dependence of the sample mass change rate on time) at different heating rates, the kinetic parameters of pyrolysis of coal were calculated using the equations of non-isothermal formal kinetics. The effect of the rate and temperature of coal heating on the kinetic parameters of pyrolysis of coal has been studied. The main stages of OMC decomposition are revealed. It has been found that the heating rate of coal samples significantly affects the temperature and process rate corresponding to the main decomposition maxima on the differential DTG curves. The dependence between the kinetic parameters of pyrolysis of coal in the temperature range of the main decomposition of OMC on the rate and temperature of heating, as well as between the kinetic parameters at different stages of the main decomposition of coal, is analyzed.
