A global free-radical mechanism and an associated rate equation for the evolution of light gas nitrogen during coal devolatilization are presented. The light gas nitrogen rate equation was used to ...

Hemicellulose was the most reactive material in the process of devolatilization by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The degradation temperature of cellulose occurred at 270–360 and 250–345 °C for ...

The volatiles released from charcoal fines would enhance the surrounding coal (Barbieri et al, 2016) and petroleum coke devolatilization. The combustion behavior of fuels also depends on the fuel ...
