Abstract

A typical Chinese coal was employed for this research, and the char was oxidized to five conversion degrees (0.21, 0.34, 0.40, 0.53 and 0.63). With the application of high temperature programmed desorption (TPD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), the chemical structure of surface complexes on different samples was investigated. Results showed that in the oxidation process, the number of active sites on particle surface decreased with the increase of conversion ratio. The specific chemicals of oxygen-containing complexes on particle surface are hydroxyl, carboxyl, ether, quinone, lactone and anhydride. Anhydride, lactone and quinone were the precursors of CO, and ether and quinone were the precursors of CO2.
