Abstract
In order to obtain chemically meaningful and extendable kinetics for direct coal liquefaction (DCL) the experimental coal conversion (XC) and oil yield (YO) are correlated with coal constituents and the conditions. The coal is assumed to have three constituents mimicking its maceral constituents liptinite, vitrinite and inertinite. The quantities of them are estimated based on the TG curve of coal, and correlated with the XC and YO by non-linear regression. For Naomaohu (NMH) coal that is dominant with the vitrinite and Shangwan (SW) coal that has similar contents of vitrinite and inertinite, the three-constituent kinetics model is significantly better than that of traditional single-component kinetics model that requires the regression-determined maximum conversion XC,M and maximum oil yield YO,M. The k1 for the vitrinite-like component a1 is always much larger than k2 for the inertinite-like component a2, and k1 usually shows a better relationship with 1/T than k2. The Ea of NMH for XC and YO are close to each other, suggesting a high content of weak bonds in the structure; whereas the Ea of SW for YO is significantly larger than that of XC, suggesting that many oil originates from the secondary reaction rather than the primary covalent bond cleavage.
期刊介绍:
The objective of the International Journal of Hydrogen Energy is to facilitate the exchange of new ideas, technological advancements, and research findings in the field of Hydrogen Energy among scientists and engineers worldwide. This journal showcases original research, both analytical and experimental, covering various aspects of Hydrogen Energy. These include production, storage, transmission, utilization, enabling technologies, environmental impact, economic considerations, and global perspectives on hydrogen and its carriers such as NH3, CH4, alcohols, etc.
The utilization aspect encompasses various methods such as thermochemical (combustion), photochemical, electrochemical (fuel cells), and nuclear conversion of hydrogen, hydrogen isotopes, and hydrogen carriers into thermal, mechanical, and electrical energies. The applications of these energies can be found in transportation (including aerospace), industrial, commercial, and residential sectors.
