Popis: The reactivities of chars obtained by pyrolysis of Bursa Mustafa Kemal Pasa Alpagut lignite and Balikesir Dursunbey Cakirca lignite (Turkey) at different temperatures were determined by CO2 gasification and by combustion with O2. Catalytic effect of Na2CO3 on the CO2 and O2 gasification reactivity of chars was investigated. Gasification tests were performed in the fixed bed reactors operating at ambient pressure. Reactivity of chars during the CO2 gasification reactions was determined by calculating the reaction rate constants and reactivity of chars during the O2 gasification was determined by using ignition temperatures of the samples. Activation energies and Arrhenius constants of the chars on the CO2 gasification reactions were also calculated by the help of Arrhenius curves. The activation energy for CO2 gasification was generally decreased with pyrolysis temperature, due to the different surface characteristics and different nature of carbon atoms gasified as the gasification reactions proc...
