Catalytic Cracking of Pyrolytic Vapors of Low-Rank Coal over Limonite Ore

Abstract: Low-grade natural iron ore, limonite, is proposed as an inexpensive catalyst to increase the light liquid production from coal pyrolysis. Experiments were conducted at a pyrolyzer combined with gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (Py− GC/MS). It is found that limonite favors the formation of light aromatic hydrocarbons, while the aliphatics and oxygenated compounds in tar are significantly reduced. Tests with model compounds (C 19 alkane and o-cresol) indicate that the increased light aromatics could result f… Show more

“…The SiO 2 /Al 2 O 3 molar ratio of 25 was confirmed with excellent ability for the volatiles-to-aromatics reaction because of its large specific surface and adequate acid sites . However, some macromolecules in pyrolysis volatiles, which account for 60–70% in tar, could not enter the channels of microporous H5 and would polymerize on the surfaces to block the channels. , The treatment with alkali solution is considered as an efficient method to enlarge the pores. In previous work, a series of hierarchical H5 was prepared by desilication and dealumination with different alkali and acid solutions, respectively. , Appropriate basicity could create new mesopores and decrease acid amounts .…”

“…For example, when the amount of SLA added is increased from 0% to 10%, the MAHs content in the tar increases from 21.19% to 31.04%, the AHs content increases from 2.31% to 10.74%, the PAHs content decreases from 11.85% to 7.23%, the Phenols content decreases from 31.96% to 26.87%, and the NOCs decreases from 33.19% to 24.12%. The reason is that Fe 2 O 3 promotes the breakage of C-O and C-C bonds, which can convert NOCs as well as PAHs into lighter components and promote the production of AHs and MAHs 34,35 while generating CO, H 2 , and CH 4 gases. In addition, Fe 2 O 3 promotes the occurrence of dephenolization of hydroxyl groups, leading to a decrease in the content of Phenols.…”

“…Light aromatics, such as benzene, toluene, xylene, and naphthalene (BTXN), are important industrial chemicals, widely used as fuel additives, solvents, and the feedstock for production of pesticides, plastic products, and synthetic fibers. 55 The nature and quantity of BTXN are depicted in Figure 10 expressed as integrated intensity per milligram of coal. Compared with SD, the amount of benzene, toluene, xylene, and naphthalene released from SD-DE increased by 9.40%, 6.03%, 2.14%, and 5.91%, respectively.…”
