Resumo:
This work presents comparisons between the reactivity with CO2, measured at 1100 Celsius degrees, for Coals, Biomass and Cokes, shaped as cylindrical pellets, tested without volatilization and devolatilized. A brief historical review is presented for these carbonaceous materials together with their reactivity behavior. The experimental runs for the materials were made in a Tubular Furnace, Thermogravimetric Balance and the characterizations, as porosity, using a SEM, following the experimental procedure and parameters suggested in the bibliography. The obtained results showed that the carbonaceous material with the lowest reactivity was the Green Petroleum Coke, 65.89 per cent and 46.77 per cent , for samples without devolatilization and devolatilizated, respectively. The Charcoal, on the other hand rated 98.05 per cent and 95.96 per cent, also for samples without devolatilization and devolatilizated, respectively. In the case of new biomass used, Elephant Grass, its reactivity was superior to that of the Green Petroleum Coke, similar to the Metallurgical Coke but far greater than the Charcoal. As for the porosity, the devolatilized materials, after the reaction with CO2 became more porous than the virgin material, presenting also residues that tended to clump together forming small beads on the material’s surface, these were observed with increases at 1800x. The analyses TGA confirmed that Charcoal, submitted to CO2, lost more weight than the other tested carbonaceous materials and the GPC lost the least. The kinetic model, continuous reaction, showed good correlation, about 99 per cent , for every material. The apparent activation energies for the biomasses showed lower values than for the coals and cokes.
