Effect of pine sawdust on the behavior of arsenic and sulfur during slow heating pyrolysis of Shanxi Tuanbo-2 coal
Effect of pine sawdust on the removal of arsenic and sulfur during Shanxi Tuanbo-2 coal pyrolysis was investigated. Results showed that adding pine sawdust could increase the removals of arsenic and sulfur during Shanxi Tuanbo-2 coal pyrolysis, and when the ratio of the pine sawdust was 50%, the arsenic removal was the highest; at this ratio, the total sulfur removal also was the highest. Adding pine sawdust also increased pyritic sulfur and organic sulfur removal. Furthermore, results also indicated that adding pine sawdust made arsenic associated with sulfates and monosulfides and arsenic in stable forms escape more easily.
