In order to master the combustion kinetic characteristics
of semi-coking
dust in the early pyrolysis stage of lignite combustion explosion,
a vacuum tube furnace was used to prepare semi-coking dust with different
pyrolysis degrees, and the experimental samples were studied by a
synchronous differential thermal analyzer. By means of theoretical
analysis, the reaction mechanism of lignite and semi-coking dust was
revealed. The results show that when the final pyrolysis temperature
rises to 920 °C, the percentage of volatile matter decreases
by 94.6%. The reaction in this process also causes the original pores
to be cross-linked and collapsed, and a large number of new pores
are generated, and the original pore structure is significantly enlarged.
With the increase of the final temperature of pyrolysis, the ignition
temperature (
T
b
) of the dust increased
from 354 to 455 °C, the fastest reaction temperature (
T
c
) increased from 399 to 495 °C, and the
ember temperature (
T
d
) increased from
558 to 658 °C. The maximum combustion rate decreased by 65.97%,
and the average combustion rate decreased by 84.67%. The apparent
activation energy increased by 4.7 times from 45.219 to 257.665 kJ/mol,
and the combustion kinetics of semi-coke became worse. The thermal
reaction of lignite and semi-coking dust conforms to the diffusion
mechanism of the three-dimensional spherical symmetry model. The research
results provide a new idea for discussing the mechanism of coal dust
explosion and the development of explosion suppression technology.
