Zeolites could be used for industrial desulfurization owing to their high thermal stability and regenerability. However, further analysis on the kinetics of deep desulfurization using zeolites is necessary to provide relevant information for industrial design. In this study, the desulfurization breakthrough curves of faujasite (FAU) zeolite in COG were measured using a fixed bed reactor. The adsorption isotherm was investigated using the Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin, Dubinin-Radushkevich models. The adsorption saturated capacity of H_(2)S was inversely related to the temperature. The results show that the Langmuir model best fits the adsorption isotherm with a lower value of root-mean-square-error (RMSE) and Chi-Square (χ^(2)), and the calculated activation energy is 14.62 kJ·mol^(−1). The adsorption kinetics were investigated using pseudo-first-order (PFO), pseudo-second-order (PSO), Bangham and Weber-Morris models. The Bangham model fitted the kinetic data well, indicating that pore diffusion is an influential factor in the adsorption process. The Weber-Morris model suggests that the adsorption rate was not solely determined by the pore diffusion, but was also influenced by the active site on the FAU zeolite. The adsorption breakthrough curves under different gas flow rates were fitted using the bed depth service time (BDST) model, and it provides an accurate prediction of the breakthrough time with a small relative error. The results of thermodynamic analysis demonstrated the feasibility and spontaneity (ΔG<0) and exothermic (ΔH<0) nature of the adsorption process of the FAU zeolite for H_(2)S under COG.展开更多

However, the feature of high sulfur content, which can cause environmental pollution and poor quality of molten iron, restrains its utilization in coking industry. Coking experiments of high-sulfur coal with Fe2O3, La2O3 and CaO as additives were carried out in order to fix the sulfur in coke. The effects of additives on sulfur distribution, crystallite structure, surface morphology and properties of coke were investigated. The results indicate that CaO can be used as sulfur-fixing agent in coking process, and CaS is the main mineralogical phase of the sulfur-contained mineral constituents in coke. Fe2O3 and La2O3 facilitate the conversion of CaO to CaS. The additives mainly influence the crystallite height and the average interlayer spacing doo2 of coke. The addition of La2O3 increases the value of the crystallite height while the addition of CaO and Fe2O3 decreases it. CaO leads the pores of coke to increase with its physical action and agglomerating characteristic. Fe2O3 and C can form （Fe,C）, resulting in the pulverization and erosion of the pore wall. La2O3 makes the coke surface become more compact and thinner. The reactivity of coke increases with the decrease of crystallite height and crystallite layer number.展开更多

文摘The utilization of iron coke provides a green pathway for low-carbon ironmaking.To uncover the influence mechanism of iron ore on the behavior and kinetics of iron coke gasification,the effect of iron ore on the microstructure of iron coke was investigated.Furthermore,a comparative study of the gasification reactions between iron coke and coke was conducted through non-isothermal thermogravimetric method.The findings indicate that compared to coke,iron coke exhibits an augmentation in micropores and specific surface area,and the micropores further extend and interconnect.This provides more adsorption sites for CO_(2) molecules during the gasification process,resulting in a reduction in the initial gasification temperature of iron coke.Accelerating the heating rate in non-isothermal gasification can enhance the reactivity of iron coke.The metallic iron reduced from iron ore is embedded in the carbon matrix,reducing the orderliness of the carbon structure,which is primarily responsible for the heightened reactivity of the carbon atoms.The kinetic study indicates that the random pore model can effectively represent the gasification process of iron coke due to its rich pore structure.Moreover,as the proportion of iron ore increases,the activation energy for the carbon gasification gradually decreases,from 246.2 kJ/mol for coke to 192.5 kJ/mol for iron coke 15wt%.

文摘To explore the iron coke application in hydrogen-rich blast furnace,which is an effective method to achieve the purpose of low carbon emissions,the initial gasification temperature of iron coke in CO_(2) and H_(2)O atmosphere and its cogasification reaction mechanism with coke were systematically studied.Iron coke was prepared under laboratory conditions,with a 0-7wt%iron ore powder addition.The properties of iron cokes were tested by coke reactivity index(CRI)and coke strength after reaction(CSR),and their phases and morphology were evolution discussed by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis.The results indicated that the initial gasification temperature of iron coke decreased with the increase in the iron ore powder content under the CO_(2) and H_(2)O_((g))atmosphere.In the 40vol%H_(2)O+60vol%CO_(2) atmosphere,CRI of iron coke with the addition of 3wt%iron ore powder reached 58.7%,and its CSR reached 56.5%.Because of the catalytic action of iron,the reaction capacity of iron coke was greater than that of coke.As iron coke was preferentially gasified,the CRI and CSR of coke were reduced and increased,respectively,when iron coke and coke were cogasified.The results showed that the skeleton function of the coke can be protected by iron coke.

文摘Hydrogen-enriched ironmaking presents a promising approach to mitigate coke consumption and carbon emission in blast furnace(BF)operations.This work investigated the relationship between the structural features of cokes and their reactivity towards solution loss(SL),especially under hydrogen-enriched atmospheres.Six cokes were characterized,and their SL behaviors were examined under varying atmospheres to elucidate the effects of hydrogen enrichment.The results indicate that an increase in fixed carbon content leads to a decrease in the coke reactivity index(CRI)and an increase in coke strength after reaction(CSR),in the CO_(2) atmosphere,the CSR of coke increases from 35.76%−62.83%,while in the 90CO_(2)/10H_(2) atmosphere,the CSR of coke increases from 65.67%−84.09%.There is a good linear relationship between CRI and microcrystalline structure parameters of coke.Cokes with larger crystalline size,lower amorphous content,and smaller optical texture index(OTI)values show enhanced resistance to degradation and maintain structural integrity in BF.Kinetic analysis performed with the shifted-modified-random pore model(S-MRPM)reveals that alterations in pore structure and intrinsic mineral composition significantly influence the reaction rate.The introduction of a small amount of water vapor raises SL rates,whereas a minor addition of hydrogen(<10%)decelerates SL due to its incomplete conversion to water vapor and the reduced partial pressure of the gasifying agent.Thermodynamic calculations also indicate that the introduced hydrogen does not convert into the same fraction of water vapor.The shift from chemical reaction control to gas diffusion control as the rate-determining step with rising temperatures during SL process was confirmed,and the introduction of hydrogen does not notably alter SL behavior.This result demonstrated that introducing a small amount of hydrogen(<10%)can mitigate SL rates,thereby enhancing coke strength and reducing coke consumption and carbon emissions.

文摘Pursuing green,low-carbon ironmaking technology primarily aims to reduce fuel ratios,especially coke ratios.Simultaneously,the reduction in coke ratios causes the coke layer in the blast furnace(BF)to become thinner,deteriorating the gas and liquid permeability of the burden column.This exacerbates coke degradation,significantly impacting the smelting process and increasing the demand for high-quality coke.To investigate the existence state of coke in the hearth,a 2500 m3 BF in China was taken as the research object,and three sets of samples at different heights of the hearth were obtained during planned outage.The results indicate that coke undergoes a significant degradation upon reaching the hearth.The proportion of coke particles smaller than 50 mm ranges from 81.22%to 89.50%.The proportion of coke particles larger than 20 mm decreases as the distance from the centerline of the tuyere increases,while the proportion of particles smaller than 10 mm increases with this distance.Additionally,the closer the bottom of the furnace is,the smaller the coke particle size becomes.The composition of slag filling the coke pores is similar to that of the final slag in the blast furnace,and the graphitization of coke is comparable to that of the final slag.The graphitization of coke starts from the surface of coke and leads to the formation of coke fines,and the graphitization degree of−74μm coke fines is the highest.The temperature has an effect on the reaction rate of coke solution loss,and the higher the temperature is,the faster the reaction rate is.
文摘Coke formation is the primary cause of zeolite deactivation in industrial catalysis,yet the structural identity,spatial location and molecular routes of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons(PAHs)within confined zeolite pores remain elusive.Here,by coupling matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization Fourier-transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry with multi-dimensional chemical imaging,we unveil a channel-passing growth mechanism for PAHs in ZSM-5 zeolites during methanol conversion through identifying the molecular fingerprints of larger PAHs,pinpointing and visualizing their 3D location and spatiotemporal evolution trajectory with atomic resolution and at both channel and single-crystal scales.Confined aromatic entities cross-link with each other,culminating in multicore PAH chains as the both thermodynamically favorable and kinetically trapped host-vip entanglement wrought and templated by the defined molecular-scale constrained microenvironments of zeolite.The mechanistic concept proves general across both channel-and cage-structured zeolite materials.Our multiscale deactivating model based on the full-picture coke structure-location correlations—spanning atom,molecule,channel/cage and single crystal scales—would shed new light on the intertwined chemical and physical processes in catalyst deactivation.This work not only resolves long-standing puzzles in coke formation but also provides design principles for coke-resistant zeolites.The methods and insights would rekindle interest in confinement effects and host-vip chemistry across broader chemistry fields beyond catalysis and carbon materials.

文摘The gasification behaviors of coke were investigated under conditions simulating a hydrogen-rich blast furnace atmosphere,composed of N_(2),CO,CO_(2),H_(2),and H_(2)O.Systematic experimental studies were conducted to examine the effects of gasification temperature and H_(2)O content on the microstructural and macroscopic properties of coke.The results indicated that increasing temperature and H_(2)O content enhanced the gasification and dissolution loss of coke,with temperature having a more significant impact.Pore structure analysis of the gasified coke revealed that small pores and micropores predominated at 900 and 1000℃.However,at gasification temperatures above 1100℃,oversized holes formed,some of which extended into the coke's interior.The compressive strength of the coke was also assessed,showing that higher gasification temperatures or increased H_(2)O content reduced this property.This reduction is primarily due to the increased coke porosity and the degradation of the pore wall structure.X-ray diffraction analysis results suggested that higher gasification temperatures and H2O content could improve the degree of order in the carbon microcrystals of the gasified coke.

文摘Coke is the only solid charge component in the lower part of the blast furnace,and its strength is crucial to its production.Si and Al are the two most abundant elements in coke ash.The influences of these oxides on the tensile strength of the coke matrix were studied by splitting tests.According to the Weibull analysis,with increasing Si and Al oxide concentrations,the fracture stress range of the coke widened,the upper and lower limits decreased,the probability of fracture under the same stress conditions increased,and the randomness and dispersion of strength increased.These results can be attributed to the inhibitory effect of ash during coal pyrolysis.Ash impedes the growth and contact of mesophase,leading to a decrease in graphitic carbon structures and an increase in edge carbon and aliphatic carbon structures in the resulting coke.Consequently,the overall ordering of the carbon structure is reduced.Moreover,SiO_(2)and Al_(2)O_(3)promoted the development of coke pores,thinned the coke pore wall,and significantly increased the proportion of large pores(>500μm).Moreover,Al_(2)O_(3)had more significant influences on the coke strength,carbon structure and stomatal ratio than SiO_(2).In addition,the position where the ash particles bonded to the carbon matrix easily produced cracks and holes,and the sharp edge of the matrix was likely to produce stress concentration points when subjected to an external force,leading to structural damage.Therefore,controlling the concentration of ash could effectively reduce the number of structural defects inside coke,which is conducive to improving the strength.

文摘Forestry waste(FW)is a significant renewable energy source in China.The substitution of coal blends(BC)with forestry waste to produce metallurgical coke was investigated aiming at expanding alternative resources and reducing CO_(2)emissions in ironmaking process.The BC with different ratios of FW were carbonized in a fixed bed reactor,and the physicochemical structure of the coke derived from FW/BC co-carbonization was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy,X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy,solid-state^(13)C nuclear magnetic resonance,optical microscopy,and scanning electron microscopy.The results reveal that the suitable incorporation of FW in BC is 10 wt.%,and the index of coke quality exhibits a good correlation with the optical anisotropy index and the aromaticity of the as-obtained cokes.The partial substitution of BC with FW exhibits potential benefits for colloid formation,owing to the higher hydrogen in FW.However,as the substitution ratio of BC with FW increases,it inhibits coke agglomeration due to more tortuous stacked structures formation during volatile releasing process.Moreover,it was identified that the substitution of higher BC ratios with FW results in the partial replacement of aromatic carbons by oxygenlinked carbons and aliphatic carbons.This substitution leads to a reduction in the aromaticity of the as-obtained coke.

文摘This study systematically investigated the catalytic gasification of two distinct petroleum coke(PC)using magnesium-based tailings(MT)as the catalyst.The research objectives focused on comparative analysis of gasification reactivities and elucidation of carbon microstructure evolution during PC gasification.Experimental results demonstrate that PC-B(derived from Liaohe Oilfields delayed coking)exhibited significantly higher gasification activity than PC-A(from Karamay Oilfields delayed coking),with aromatic C–H content and polycondensation index showing stronger correlations with reactivity than graphitization parameters.Notably,the MT catalyst exhibited material-dependent catalytic behaviors during gasification.MT catalyst enhanced structural ordering in PC-B by:(i)developing denser aromatic carbon layers,(ii)improving microcrystalline alignment,and(iii)elevating graphitization degree.These structural modifications contrasted sharply with PC-A’s response,where MT introduction generated active MgO species in the ash phase,boosting gasification reactivity.Conversely,in PC-B ash systems,MgO preferentially reacted with Al_(2)O_(3) to form inert MgAl_(2)O_(4) spinel,effectively deactivating the catalyst.Kinetic investigations validated the shrinking core model(SCM)as the dominant mechanism,with calculated activation energies of 172.12 kJ/mol(PC-A+5%MT)and 137.19 kJ/mol(PC-B+5%MT).

文摘Transition metal cobalt exhibits strong activation capabilities for alkanes,however,the instability of Co sites leads to sintering and coke deposition,resulting in rapid deactivation.Hierarchical zeolites,with their diverse pore structures and high surface areas,are used to effectively anchor metals and enhance coke tolerance.Herein,a post-treatment method using an alkaline solution was employed to synthesize meso-microporous zeolite supports,which were subsequently loaded with Co species for propane dehydrogenation catalyst.The results indicate that the application of NaOH,an inorganic base,produces supports with a larger mesopore volume and more abundant hydroxyl nests compared to TPAOH,an organic base.UV-vis,Raman,and XPS analyses reveal that Co in the 0.5Co/SN-1-0.05 catalyst is mainly in the form of tetrahedral Co^(2+),which effectively activates C-H bonds.In contrast,the 0.5Co/S-1 catalyst contains mainly Co_(3)O_(4)species.Co^(2+)supported on hierarchical zeolites shows better propane conversion(58.6%)and propylene selectivity(>96%)compared to pure silica zeolites.Coke characterization indicates that hierarchical zeolites accumulate more coke,but it is mostly in the form of easily removable disordered carbon.The mesopores in the microporous zeolite support help disperse the active Co metal and facilitate coke removal during dehydrogenation,effectively preventing deactivation from sintering and coke coverage.

文摘In this study,a string of Cr-Mnco-modified activated coke catalysts(XCryMn1-y/AC)were prepared to investigate toluene and Hg^(0) removal performance.Multifarious characterizations including XRD,TEM,SEM,in situ DRIFTS,BET,XPS and H_(2)-TPR showed that 4%Cr0.5Mn0.5/AC had excellent physicochemical properties and exhibited the best toluene and Hg^(0) removal efficiency at 200℃.By varying the experimental gas components and conditions,it was found that too large weight hourly space velocity would reduce the removal efficiency of toluene and Hg^(0).Although O_(2) promoted the abatement of toluene and Hg^(0),the inhibitory role of H_(2)O and SO_(2) offset the promoting effect of O_(2) to some extent.Toluene significantly inhibited Hg^(0) removal,resulting from that toluene was present at concentrations orders of magnitude greater than mercury’s or the catalyst was more prone to adsorb toluene,while Hg^(0) almost exerted non-existent influence on toluene elimination.The mechanistic analysis showed that the forms of toluene and Hg^(0) removal included both adsorption and oxidation,where the high-valent metal cations and oxygen vacancy clusters promoted the redox cycle of Cr^(3+)+Mn^(3+)/Mn^(4+)+Cr^(6+)+Mn^(2+),which facilitated the conversion and replenishment of reactive oxygen species in the oxidation process,and even the CrMn_(1.5)O_(4) spinel structure could provide a larger catalytic interface,thus enhancing the adsorption/oxidation of toluene and Hg^(0).Therefore,its excellent physicochemical properties make it a costeffective potential industrial catalyst with outstanding synergistic toluene and Hg^(0) removal performance and preeminent resistance to H_(2)O and SO_(2).

文摘The self-reforming of coke oven gas(COG)in a gas-based shaft furnace was investigated,employing metallized iron as a catalyst.Thermodynamic analyses,supported by FactSage 8.3 calculations and regression modeling,were used to investigate the effects of temperature(700–1100℃),CO_(2)(3%–10%),and H_(2)O(1%–9%)concentrations on CH_(4) conversion efficiency.Results indicate that CH_(4) conversion exceeds 90%at temperatures above 1000℃,with CO_(2) and H_(2)O concentrations at 9%and 5%,respectively.During the reforming process,introducing CO_(2) provides additional oxygen,facilitating the oxidation of CH_(4),while H_(2)O enhances H_(2) production through the steam reforming pathway.Experimental findings reveal a CH_(4) conversion of 85.83%with a H_(2)/CO ratio of 5.44 at 1050℃.In addition,an optimal H_(2)O concentration of 6%yields the highest CH_(4) conversion of 84.24%,while CO_(2) exhibits minimal effects on promoting the reforming process.Increasing the metallization rate of pellets from 43%to 92%significantly enhances CH_(4) reforming.This is mainly due to the fact that metallized iron is vital in promoting CH_(4) dissociation and improving syngas yield by providing active sites for the redox cycle of CO_(2) and H_(2)O.

文摘The removal of H_(2)S from coke oven gas (COG) is an important issue for the further utilization of COG. Zeolites could be used for industrial desulfurization owing to their high thermal stability and regenerability. However, further analysis on the kinetics of deep desulfurization using zeolites is necessary to provide relevant information for industrial design. In this study, the desulfurization breakthrough curves of faujasite (FAU) zeolite in COG were measured using a fixed bed reactor. The adsorption isotherm was investigated using the Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin, Dubinin-Radushkevich models. The adsorption saturated capacity of H_(2)S was inversely related to the temperature. The results show that the Langmuir model best fits the adsorption isotherm with a lower value of root-mean-square-error (RMSE) and Chi-Square (χ^(2)), and the calculated activation energy is 14.62 kJ·mol^(−1). The adsorption kinetics were investigated using pseudo-first-order (PFO), pseudo-second-order (PSO), Bangham and Weber-Morris models. The Bangham model fitted the kinetic data well, indicating that pore diffusion is an influential factor in the adsorption process. The Weber-Morris model suggests that the adsorption rate was not solely determined by the pore diffusion, but was also influenced by the active site on the FAU zeolite. The adsorption breakthrough curves under different gas flow rates were fitted using the bed depth service time (BDST) model, and it provides an accurate prediction of the breakthrough time with a small relative error. The results of thermodynamic analysis demonstrated the feasibility and spontaneity (ΔG<0) and exothermic (ΔH<0) nature of the adsorption process of the FAU zeolite for H_(2)S under COG.

文摘The wetting behavior of slag–coke is a crucial factor influencing the permeability of the lower part of the blast furnace.However,a systematic understanding of the wetting behavior and underlying mechanisms between titanium-containing slag and tuyere coke remains lacking.The sessile drop method was employed to explore the effects of temperature,binary basicity,FeO,and TiO_(2) contents on the wetting behavior of titanium-containing slag and tuyere coke.The results indicate that increasing the temperature enhances the adhesion and wettability of the droplet,reducing the contact angle.Meanwhile,it accelerates the chemical reactions between slag and coke,leading to faster equilibrium.Conversely,increasing slag basicity elevates the contact angle by inhibiting chemical reactions at the slag–coke interface.This inhibition reduces both contact area and depth,thereby hindering slag droplet spreading on the coke surface.The contact angle decreases as the FeO content in the slag increases.Notably,the increase in TiO_(2) content has a dual effect on slag–coke wettability.Initially,it promotes wetting by reducing surface tension and lowering the contact angle.While the TiO_(2) content exceeds 20 wt.%,Ti(C,N)forms a barrier layer at the slag–coke interface,hindering the contact between slag and coke and resulting in an increased contact angle.

文摘RP-3 is a kind of aviation kerosene commonly used in hypersonic and scramjet engines due to its superior thermal stability,high energy density,and ability to act as a coolant before combustion.However,it is known that coke can be generated during the cooling process as a carbonaceous deposition on metal walls and its effects on the cooling performance are still largely unknown.To explore the influence mechanism of porous coke on heat transfer characteristics of supercritical RP-3 in the regenerative cooling channel,a series of computational simulations were conducted via a three-dimensional CFD model considering solid wall,porous media and fluid simultaneously.The results show that the porous coke leads to the heat transfer deterioration,but when the coke layer thickness exceeds 1 mm,the weakening influence of coke on heat transfer becomes less important.The effect of porous coke on heat transfer under different inlet flow rates and wall heat fluxes was also analyzed and it was found that the heat exchange between channel wall and RP-3 is more detrimentally affected at large inlet mass flow rate.In a smooth channel,the heat transfer coefficient has a sudden rise along the flow direction,but the presence of porous coke mitigates the abrupt change.Furthermore,the variation of heat flux made a subtle difference in the effect of porous coke on the heat transfer of RP-3.

文摘Octahedral Fe_(3)O_(4)-modified coke Fenton catalyst(Fe_(3)O_(4)/PCWQ)was prepared via in-situ one-pot oxidation method inspired by grapefruit peel,and characterized by SEM,EDS,XRD,XPS,FTIR,BET,VSM,and Raman,respectively.Fe_(3)O_(4)crystals was predominantly in octahedral morphology with an average particle size of 60 nm.Fe_(3)O_(4)/PCWQ exhibited graphene-like structure.The synergistic effect between oxygen functional group and Fe^(2+)/Fe^(3+)cycle in Fe_(3)O_(4)/PCWQ enhances the degradation performance of p-nitrophenol(P-NP).Under the optimal conditions(1.0 g/L catalyst,30 mmol/L H_(2)O_(2),pH 3.0,25℃),Fe_(3)O_(4)/PCWQ exhibits high degradation efficiency of P-NP(91.25%in 30 min and 98.21%in 180 min)and stability(90.72%after 6 cycles)with low iron leaching(<0.528 mg/L),following the quasi-first-order degradation kinetics.Fe_(3)O_(4)/PCWQ has better catalytic performance than pure Fe_(3)O_(4)under the action of H_(2)O_(2),and is an efficient,stable and repeatable green catalyst.

文摘High-sulfur coal, as an alternative coal source, has a relatively high proportion in coal reserves. However, the feature of high sulfur content, which can cause environmental pollution and poor quality of molten iron, restrains its utilization in coking industry. Coking experiments of high-sulfur coal with Fe2O3, La2O3 and CaO as additives were carried out in order to fix the sulfur in coke. The effects of additives on sulfur distribution, crystallite structure, surface morphology and properties of coke were investigated. The results indicate that CaO can be used as sulfur-fixing agent in coking process, and CaS is the main mineralogical phase of the sulfur-contained mineral constituents in coke. Fe2O3 and La2O3 facilitate the conversion of CaO to CaS. The additives mainly influence the crystallite height and the average interlayer spacing doo2 of coke. The addition of La2O3 increases the value of the crystallite height while the addition of CaO and Fe2O3 decreases it. CaO leads the pores of coke to increase with its physical action and agglomerating characteristic. Fe2O3 and C can form （Fe,C）, resulting in the pulverization and erosion of the pore wall. La2O3 makes the coke surface become more compact and thinner. The reactivity of coke increases with the decrease of crystallite height and crystallite layer number.

文摘The pore structure of coke under CO2 atmosphere was investigated by the carbon solution-loss reaction experiment.The results show that the pore size distribution of coke gradually changes from dispersion to relative concentration with the increase in carbon loss rate,but it tends to be dispersed again in the late stage of the reaction,and the pore volume and specific surface area also increase first and then decrease with the increase in carbon loss rate.Scanning electron microscopy results show that the evolution of coke pores is from the formation of micropores to the expansion of micropores,and finally the micropore and mesopores collapse to form a large number of string holes.The chemical bonds and functional groups of different reacted cokes were analyzed by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy.Furthermore,the microstructure of reacted cokes was analyzed by optical microscopy,and then the ordering of the affinity of different microstructures with CO2 was given.The volume hypothesis which was the theory about energy size of comminution was adopted to analyze the degradation behavior of reacted cokes.The breakage energy of reacted cokes was calculated by volume hypothesis,and the power consumption coefficient CK of different reacted cokes was determined by drum experiment,and then the degradation behavior of reacted cokes under different power consumptions was predicted.

文摘The Chinese standard method of GB/T 4000e2017 was unable to accurately measure the coke thermal properties in the large blast furnace.Therefore,the coke compressive strength(CCS)test at a high temperature was designed to examine the coke thermal properties.Then,the large-scale coke model(sp^(2)C_(17421)sp^(3)C_(6579))was established.After,the ReaxFF molecular dynamics simulations were implemented to mimic the coke solution loss(CSL)and the CCS at the high temperature.It was found that the adsorption energy and the diffusion energy of micropores were greater than those of mesopores and macropores,indicating that the CSL reaction mainly happened in the coke micropore.It was discovered that the CSL reaction mechanism was the sp^(3)C oxidization mechanism with the transient state of ketene structure.And,it was detected that the CCS process was divided into the plastic deformation,the instantaneous fracture and the elastic deformation and yield,which was caused by the local reconstruction,the overall folding and the center stretching of carbon layer,respectively.By comparing simulated results with experiments,it was proved that obtained mechanisms were valid.The proposed experimental and simulated methods provided a novel method to measure and understand the coke thermal properties.
