The density of alkyl chains and cross-linking reactions affected the yield of tar. The aromaticity of char increased with an increasing pyrolysis temperature. The abundance of C═O and COOH structures decreased drastically with increasing temperature. A lower concentration of active sites on high-temperature chars resulted in lower combustion reactivity compared to low-temperature chars. The C–O and C═C groups decreased as the temperature increased possibly because of the aromatic condensation. The extent of aromatic substitution decreased up to 650 °C. At temperatures above 650 °C, the degree of aromaticity was strengthened and larger condensed aromatic nuclei were formed. Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) surface area analysis revealed that high-temperature chars have significantly higher surface area compared to chars produced at low temperatures. However, the concentration of active sites was lower in high-temperature chars. Therefore, it can be concluded that diffusion was the main reaction mechanism in high-temperature chars.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:05:45 AEDT ]]> An experimental study on binderless briquetting of Chinese lignite: effects of briquetting conditions https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:19069 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:05:19 AEDT ]]> Experimental study on microwave pyrolysis of an Indonesian low-rank coal https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:21484 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:03:36 AEDT ]]> Thermogravimetric study and modeling for the drying of a Chinese lignite https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:18735 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:02:46 AEDT ]]> Coal oxidation under mild conditions: current status and applications https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:20359 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:58:13 AEDT ]]> Low-temperature oxidation characteristics of lignite chars from low-temperature pyrolysis https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:20358 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:58:07 AEDT ]]> A kinetic study of microwave and fluidized-bed drying of a Chinese lignite https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:18400 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:52:34 AEDT ]]> Pyrolysis and combustion behavior of coal gangue in O₂/CO₂ and O₂/N₂ mixtures using thermogravimetric analysis and a drop tube furnace https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:28829 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:38:24 AEDT ]]> Products distribution of tar from microwave pyrolysis of lignite: a potential pathway of coal to chemicals https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:28934 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:31:26 AEDT ]]> An experimental study on binderless briquetting of low-rank coals https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:23540 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:16:58 AEDT ]]> A review on water in low rank coals: the existence, interaction with coal structure and effects on coal utilization https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:23468 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:13:01 AEDT ]]>
