Abstract: Pyrolysis kinetics is an important tool for studying the coal pyrolysis process. In this study, a large-capacity thermogravimetric instrument was used to investigate the co-pyrolysis behavior of coking coal and semicoke. The effect of adding different proportions of semicoke on the kinetic and thermodynamic parameters of coal pyrolysis was calculated using the isoconversional method. In addition, XRD and Raman spectroscopy were used to investigate changes in the microcrystalline structure of the co-pyrolyzed char, providing guidance for the application of semicoke in the coking industry. Kinetic analysis indicates that at high degree of conversion (α > 0.5), semicoke has a higher activation energy than coking coal, while at low degree of conversion (α < 0.5), semicoke has a lower activation energy. This is primarily because semicoke is a product of low-temperature pyrolysis, featuring a higher fixed carbon content and lower volatile matter content. Additionally, semicoke has a higher specific surface area than coking coal, enabling it to adsorb more water and gas molecules. The activation energy required for the thermal decomposition and release of water and low-molecular-weight gases is lower; At high degree of conversion, the main process involves the release of large-molecule tar. Since semicoke is a product of low-temperature pyrolysis, further release of volatile matter requires higher activation energy. XRD and Raman spectroscopy studies show that as the proportion of semicoke increases, the microcrystalline structure of pyrolysis char develops in a more orderly direction. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
