“…Practice shows that the effectiveness of pyrolysis in desulfurization depends largely on the types of coal and the nature of sulfur compounds, as well as the conditions of pyrolysis process, including temperature, heating rate, atmospheres, pressure, residence time, mineral matters, and type of reactor. Over the years, various measures have been taken to reduce the sulfur content of coal pyrolysis char by changing the pyrolysis parameters such as increasing temperature, employing various atmospheres, − demineralizing prior to pyrolysis, , extending residence time, and adding various sulfur adsorbents or catalysts. − Some of the measures are effective in enhancing the removal of sulfur from coal.…”
