A Research on Microwave and Conventional Pyrolysis for Low Rank Coal

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, conventional pyrolysis (CP) and microwave pyrolysis (MWP) for three types of low rank coal in western China was studied. The effects of pyrolysis methods and temperature etc on product yields were also discussed. Pyrolysis products were characterized by IR, Gas analysis meter and GC-MS. Results showed that the tar and gas yields in microwave pyrolysis is about 3%-5% higher than those in the conventional pyrolysis. H2 and CO proportions in gas are above 55%. The contents of benzene, aromatic hydrocarbon and phenolic compound in microwave pyrolysis tar are higher than those in the conventional pyrolysis, in addition, C5~C10 substance content in tar is about 5 times as that in the conventional, so the microwave pyrolysis can prompt tar converting to light fraction.
