  Abstract

Mild pyrolysis of four different coals (two bituminous coals and two Korean antracite) was investigated. Desulfurization characteristics, weight loss and variation of heating values were studied. As operating variables of experiment, pyrolysis temperature(350 ℃~550 ℃), pyrolysis time(5~20 min.) and particle size(0~3.55mm) were examined. The maximum sulfur removal rate of bituminous coal and anthracite were 38% and 28%, respectively. The optimum mild pyrolysis conditions were 10~15 min for pyrolysis time and 450 ℃~550 ℃ for pyrolysis temperature. The mild pyrolysis was effective to reduce organic sulfur content. Heating values of char per mass after pyrolysis increased about 5% compared to raw coal. The effect of coal particle size on the desulfurization was not observed.
