In a slagging entrained-flow coal gasifier, a large portion of the inorganic matter will form liquid slag that may have strong physical and chemical interactions with char. Understanding the char-slag interaction is important for improving the modeling and design of gasifiers. This paper reports the characteristics of residual carbon in both coarse and fine slag from a typical entrained-flow coal water slurry gasifier. The surface characteristics of slag and residual carbon in slag were evaluated by scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The reactivity of the residual carbon in slag was compared through thermal gravimetric analysis. It was …
