- Description
- A suite of carbon materials is prepared from biochar and coal at three different blending ratios with 10, 20, and 30% biochar by mass. These carbon materials are activated by steam to obtain porous structures. The effect of the inactivated and activated carbon materials on the cracking of coal pyrolysis volatiles is evaluated. The results indicate that the inactivated carbon materials are beneficial to improve the yield of light oil with a boiling point below 170 °C. The steam-activated carbon materials are more conducive to cracking tar pitch than the inactivated carbon materials due to the increased defects in carbon structure. However, it is also easy to form more coke deposits. More components rich in hydrogen are cracked to generate radicals that could combine with the phenols’ precursor over carbon materials, and the content of phenols in tar is increased. The carbon materials prepared from biochar and coal using this method show distinct advantages as filter media in the granular bed duster. It can improve the quality of tar along with reducing the dust content in tar.
