Journal ArticleDOI
Chemical model of coal devolatilization using percolation lattice statistics
Journal ArticleDOI
Chemical percolation model for devolatilization. 3. Direct use of carbon-13 NMR data to predict effects of coal type
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a chemical percolation devolatilization (CPD) model for rapidly heated coal based on the chemical structure of the parent coal, which can predict the effects of pressure on tar and total volatiles yields observed in heated grid experiments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Progress in coal pyrolysis
TL;DR: In coal pyrolysis, a number of new experimental and theoretical approaches have been proposed to shed new light on the subject as mentioned in this paper, such as kinetics, the formation of volatile products, network models, cross-linking, rank effects, and the two-component model of coal structure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chemical percolation model for devolatilization. 2. Temperature and heating rate effects on product yields
TL;DR: In this article, a chemical percolation devolatilization (CPD) model is used to describe the effects of heating rate and temperature on tar and gas release from coal.
Journal ArticleDOI
Soot in coal combustion systems
TL;DR: In this paper, the formation, agglomeration and properties of coal-derived soot, including pyrolysis experiments and combustion experiments, are reviewed, as well as the types of experiments performed, the soot yields obtained, the size of the coal particles, the optical properties, the relationship between coal derived soot and soot from simple hydrocarbons, and attempts to model soot in coal flames.
