The combustion characteristics and kinetics of high- and low-reactivity metallurgical cokes in an air atmosphere were studied by thermogravimetric instrument. The Coats–Redfern, FWO, and Vyazovkin integral methods were used to analyze the kinetics of the cokes, and the kinetic parameters of high- and low-reactivity metallurgical cokes were compared. The results show that the heating rate affected the comprehensive combustion index and combustion reaction temperature range of the cokes. The ignition temperature, burnout temperature, combustion characteristics, and maximum weight-loss rate of low-reactivity coke (L-Coke) were better than high-reactivity coke (H-Coke). Low-reactivity coke had better thermal stability and combustion characteristics. At the same time, it was calculated via three kinetic analysis methods that the combustion activation energy gradually decreased with the progress of the reaction. The coke combustion activation energy calculated by the Coats–Redfern method was larger than the coke combustion activation energy calculated by the FWO and Vyazovkin methods, but the laws were consistent. The activation energy of L-Coke was about 4~8 kJ/mol more than that of H-Coke.
Blast furnace slag, which is the main by-product of the ironmaking process discharged at 1450 °C, contains high-quality sensible heat, while oily sludge is the main solid waste produced in the process of gas exploration, storage, and transportation. The energy and resource utilization of blast furnace slag is complementary to the environmentally friendly treatment of oily sludge, which has provided a new idea for the multi-factor synergistic cycle and energy transformation of the two wastes. The pyrolysis of the oily sludge with the molten blast furnace slag was conducted in the current paper. Results showed that the oily sludge was rapidly pyrolyzed, and the heavy metal elements in the oily sludge were solidified. The solidification rate of the heavy metals exceeds 90%, except for vanadium. The reconstituted water-quenched blast furnace slag still has good activity, and it will not affect the further use of the slag after pyrolysis (BFS-P).
Through thermodynamic calculation and high-temperature

fraction was studied, and the evolution of the coke carbon structure
and the pore structure was analyzed. The results show that the reaction
rate of the two cokes increases with the increase in temperature after
the coupling reaction, and the strength after drumming decreases with
the increase in temperature. The strength of low-reactivity coke after
the reaction is higher than that of high-reactivity coke, and the
reduction degree of sintering ore after the coupling reaction with
low-reactivity coke is higher than that with high-reactivity coke.
At high temperatures and high hydrogen-rich atmospheres with φ(H

) of 25%, the strength of high-reactivity coke after drum
rotation is greater than 60.4%. The graphitization degree and carbon
structure order of low-reactivity coke are higher than those of high-reactivity
coke.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
