Abstract:
Coal gangue as the research object of this study, the effects of Na
2CO
3 and K
2CO
3 on the gasification reactivity and the dissolution behavior of Al from catalytic gasification were compared. At the same time, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) were used to analyze the thermal-conversion process of mineral in coal gangue with different catalysts and at different temperatures. The results show that compared with K
2CO
3, Na
2CO
3 can react more easily with the kaolinite in coal gangue to form nepheline, which can achieve effective separation of aluminum and silicon by acid leaching. Moreover, using Na
2CO
3 as catalyst, the Al extraction rate of gasification ash treated by hydrochloric acid can reach 92.3%, while it can only reach 83.7% using K
2CO
3 as catalyst. Therefore, Na
2CO
3 has better selectivity for the coal gangue catalytic gasification coupled with aluminum extraction from gasification ash.
