Overall process involves several steps: • Heating of reactants • Pyrolysis reactions (many) Retort family of reactions • Gasification reactions (many) • Hydrogen based reduction (many) • Combustion reactions (generation
Slide 29: CO2 impacts – Reduction Chemistry
CO2 impacts – Reduction Chemistry Lignite – complex organic structures, e.g. COOH O Pyrolysis: Releasing Light tars O CH4 CH3 HO H2 etc Beneficial Reduction: Hydrogen Fe2O3 + 3 H2 -> 2 Fe + 3 H2O recycling Drying decreases Gasification of chars: overall CO2 2 C + O2 -> 2 CO emissions C + H2O -> H2 +
Slide 30: Ellingham Diagram
Ellingham Diagram An Ellingham Diagram is a plot of ∆G versus Temperature. From this diagram, conclusions are: 1. Hydrogen based reduction occurs at significantly lower temperatures 2. Hydrogen reductant is better than CO when temperatures are less than 1000 degC 2H2 + O2 = 2H2O [30]
