Gasification kinetic studies of low volatile weakly caking coal

Abstract Present investigation focuses on the fractional conversion of low volatile weakly caking coal (LVWC) under standard set operating conditions for gasification. For this purpose, samples LVWC different ash content have been collected from Kusunda Area Bharat Coking Coal Ltd. Gasification results were validated using Homogenous and Shrinking Core kinetic models suitability selected gasification was assessed by estimating activation energy. The values energy obtained in range 25.17–44.09 kJ/mol. Further, empirical developed to correlate response interest with input variables (temperature, residence time CO 2 flow rate). significance these checked analysis variance (ANOVA).
