摘要
Devolatilization of five coals having volatile matter in the range of 31 to 41% was studied in argon and in air under fluidized bed conditions. The diameter of the coal particles varied between 4 and 9.5 mm. The variation of devolatilization time with particle diameter was expressed by the correlation, t(v)=Ad(v)(n). The superficial gas velocity was found to have a significant effect on the rate of devolatilization. The devolatilization rate increased with the increase in the oxygen concentration in the fluidizing gas. The correlations developed in this study fitted the mass versus time profiles of the coal particles satisfactorily. The same correlations were found to be appropriate for predicting devolatilization of a batch of coal particles. The correlations developed in the present study will be useful for the design of fluidized bed combustors. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
