Kj. Huttinger et C. Nattermann, CORRELATIONS BETWEEN COAL REACTIVITY AND INORGANIC MATTER CONTENT FORPRESSURE GASIFICATION WITH STEAM AND CARBON-DIOXIDE, Fuel, 73(10), 1994, pp. 1682-1684
Six brown coals and two hard coals were gasified in a fluidized bed at
2.5 MPa with steam or CO2 at different partial pressures. The reactio
n rate was determined as a function of carbon and partial pressure, an
d correlations were derived between overall reaction rate and contents
of catalytically active elements (Ca, Fe) in the coals.
