RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN VOLATILE YIELD AND PETROGRAPHICANALYSIS DURING PYROLYSIS OF SHENMU MACERALS
The mass loss in pyrolysis of macerals from Shenmu coal wa s systematically investigated by using TG-151 pressurized thermobalance at differ ent final temperatures and heating rates.The volatile yield was related to petr ographic composition.The results of ΔW,the difference of coal volatile yie lds between experimental and theoretical ones, indicated that vitrinite and iner tinite had significant synergistic effect during pyrolysis. With increasing tem perature, the synergism of vitrinite and inertinite during pyrolysis increased. The heating rate had different effect on the synergism which depended on the fin al temperature.
