“…. Yimin lignite has the characteristics of high moisture, high volatility, low calorific value, large porosity, spontaneous combustion, easy weathering and fragmentation, easy oxidation, etc. − If these properties of lignite can be comprehensively utilized, it will create a higher economic value and reduce environmental pollution . At present, the pyrolysis of coal is a key step in the classification process, widely used in coal gasification, liquefaction, combustion, and carbonization. − In China, how to reasonably use coal resources and economically and effectively improve coal utilization technology is particularly important. − Yimin lignite is one of the typical coals suitable for pyrolysis conversion. , During the pyrolysis process, the composition and structure of lignite changes, and the products include tar, combustible gas, and char products. , Research in recent years has shown that char can be used as a new type of tar cracking catalyst or catalyst carrier.…”
