Abstract:
The fir char gasification with CO
2 and H
2O were investigated with a fixed-bed apparatus, and the pore structure characteristics and the CO
2 gasification reactivity of the partially gasified char were examined. The results of pore structure analysis indicate that during gasification the pore properties are affected by gasification agent, which means that during CO
2 gasification mainly micropores are produced and the pore diameter is mainly in the range of 0.4nm~0.9nm, while during H
2O gasification the micropores are produced at the beginning and then the mesopores are developed. The correlation between CO
2 gasification reactivity and BET surface area shows that the char reactivity is affected not only by BET surface area but also by pore properties.
