Catalytic Fast Pyrolysis of Tar-Rich Coal with a Bauxite Residue for Upgrading High-Value Products: Product Distribution and Kinetic Analysis.

Fast pyrolysis technology can reduce the secondary reactions, improve the volatile product yield, and reduce the semicoke yield. Still, the high proportion of heavy tar components affects the development of fast pyrolysis industrialization. Therefore, this paper put forward a catalytic upgrading method of coal based on the solid waste bauxite residue (BR) as a catalyst.

Thermodynamic Analysis of Underground Pyrolysis of Tar-Rich Coal: Primary Reactions.

underground pyrolysis of tar-rich coal is significant for alleviating the scarcity of oil and gas resources and realizing the green and efficient development and utilization of coal in China. Tar-rich coal is often subjected to high axial pressure, surrounding pressure, and pore pressure in the underground pyrolysis environment. Consequently, laboratory simulation conditions are difficult to meet the actual needs.

Thermodynamic Analysis on Underground Pyrolysis of Tar-Rich Coal: Secondary Reactions.

To develop the underground pyrolysis process of tar-rich coal more scientifically, the effect of temperature and pressure on the distribution of pyrolysis products should be clarified. This paper selected the typical components in five distillates of light tar, phenol tar, naphthalene tar, washing tar, and anthracene tar as the main reaction products. 32 typical secondary reactions were constructed.
