Effects of char chemical structure and AAEM retention in char during the gasification at 900 °C on the changes in low-temperature char-O2 reactivity for Collie sub-bituminous coal
This study investigates the low-temperature char-O2 reactivity of a sub-bituminous coal. The Raman-sensitive O-containing structures improve the retention of AAEM species during gasification. The relative ratio of small to large rings in char greatly affects the char-O2 reactivity.
