Formation, fates and roles of catalytic precursors generated from the ...
A study was carried out in both inert and CO 2 atmosphere to investigate the interaction mechanism of K 2 CO 3 with graphite and coal char during the catalytic gasification of coal char. The formation of K 2 CO 3 catalytic precursors was identified by using series of different techniques. The results obtained in an inert atmosphere show that the interaction between K 2 CO 3 and carbon readily ...
