摘要

Fe species were loaded by two different loading ways (absorption method and addition method) to investigate their effect on thermal properties of coke. The particulate coke reactivity of coke samples indicated that the added sample showed higher catalytic activity than the adsorbed sample at first, owing to the decreased structure and properties of coke and more catalytic active sites caused by the strong interaction between Fe species and coke. The presence of Fe species in the added sample weakened the microstructure of coke, and the Fe species were easier to be reduced than those in the absorbed sample due to its different existence form in coke. With further increased loading of Fe species, the different existence positions of Fe species caused more decrease in surface active sites in the added sample than in the adsorbed sample, leading to lower catalytic activity of added sample when the total iron content exceeded 1%. The catalytic mechanism implied that there may be a catalytic dominant factor change in the reaction between the catalytic effect of iron species and carbon surface active sites in coke; the catalytic effect of iron species is dominant in the reaction at first, but the catalytic effect of carbon surface active sites is dominant in the reaction with the further increased loading amount of Fe species.
