Thermal Conversion of the Peat to Combustible Gases

Abstract

Abstract. Presented thermal characteristics of the peat and semi-coke derived on its basis. Presented the results of studies of the pyrolysis and catalytic conversion of peat and semi-coke at temperatures of 300-450 °C. According to the results of experiments to determine the composition and calorific value of combustible gases, obtained as the result of peat thermal conversion and semi-coke based on it. Presented the structure and analyzed the material balance and the energy distribution of derived products by the thermal conversion.
