A new experimental device for pyrolysing coal particles under controlled conditions over a wide range of heating rates

CSIRO has designed and built a new device for pyrolysing coal under closely controlled conditions over a range of heating rates from 10 −1 to 10 4 °C/s. The coal is placed in a stainless-steel mesh which is heated electrically in a cell under a controlled atmosphere. The heating rate is precisely re...

Description
Summary:CSIRO has designed and built a new device for pyrolysing coal under closely controlled conditions over a range of heating rates from 10 −1 to 10 4 °C/s. The coal is placed in a stainless-steel mesh which is heated electrically in a cell under a controlled atmosphere. The heating rate is precisely rectilinear even at the highest or lowest heating rates. The terminal temperature (up to 1000 °C) can be held on a selected plateau for 10 −2 to 10 2 s before the sample cools by simple heat dissipation.
