Rapid pyrolysis of pulverized coal is an essential procedure of the coal upgrading process, but still faced with the problem of high content of heavy components in the tar. The CPD model is a kinetic model that can effectively predict the distribution of coal pyrolysis gasliquid-solid products, but incapable of achieving a detailed description of the specific composition of the tar. Therefore, based on the fundamental assumptions of the molecular structure of coal in original CPD model, a more detailed tar cutting method is carried out. For the tar component only contains one aromatic unit, the aromatic core is divided as 2 types and the yield of tar with less molecular weight can be calculated. By adopting the modifications above, a more accurate prediction of the tar product distribution can be achieved. This study can provide theoretical guidance for the intensification of the pyrolysis process.
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.
