| Abstract
| - A bituminous coal was pyrolyzed in a nitrogen stream in an entrained flow reactor at varioustemperatures from 700 to 1475 °C. Char samples were collected at different positions along thereactor. Each collected sample was oxidized nonisothermally in a TGA for reactivity determination.The reactivity of the coal char was found to decrease rapidly with residence time until 0.5 s,after which it decreased only slightly. On the bases of the reactivity data at various temperatures,a new approach was utilized to obtaining the “true” activation energy distribution function forthermal annealing without the assumption of any distribution function form or a constantpreexponential factor. It appears that the “true” activation energy distribution function consistsof two separate parts corresponding to different temperature ranges, suggesting differentmechanisms in different temperature ranges. Partially burnt coal chars were also collected alongthe reactor when the coal was oxidized in air at various temperatures from 700 to 1475 °C. Thecollected samples were analyzed for the residual carbon content and the specific reaction ratewas estimated. The characteristic time of thermal deactivation was compared with that ofoxidation under realistic conditions. The characteristic times were found to be close to each other,indicating the importance of thermal deactivation during combustion of the coal studied.
