On the basis of laboratory and industrial experiments it was found that rubber can be treated by co-gasification with brown coal, namely in the process of the oxygen-steam pressure gasification in a moving bed (Lurgi gasification process). Considering the very low reactivity of the residual char from rubber, the optimal content of the rubber particles in the mixture being gasified should probably not exceed 10 wt.-%, but short-term increases in the proportion of these particles (up to 20 wt.-%) will not cause technological problems or significant economic losses., Pavel Straka, Vlastimil Kříž and Zdeněk Bučko., and Obsahuje bibliografii
Mixtures of coal/waste tires, coal/waste plastics and coal/waste cotton were pyrolyzed in the laboratory pyrolytical unit built in IRSM AS CR Prague. Non-caking hard coal (mine Lazy) and its mixtures with some organic wastes were pyrolyzed in a quartz reactor inserted in a vertical tube furnace. The main product yields (coke, tar, gas and reaction water) documented exhibit entirely different influence of added waste. Results demonstrated that co-pyrolysis is meaning full in case of waste tiers and plastics. However, in case of co-processing with waste cotton (natural textile), the results are not promising., Vlastimil Kříž and Zuzana Brožová., and Obsahuje bibliografii
The two stage co-pyrolysis method for obtaining of hydrogen is described. In the course of the heating of the mixture of bituminous coal with polyisoprene and styrene-butadiene polymers (co-pyrolysis), a considerable amount of hydrogen and hydrocarbons is released in dependence on the process conditions. The experiments proved that the amount of hydrogen increased already with slightly increased heating rate (5 K min-1 ) in comparison with the amount obtained at a common heating rate (3 K min-1) and, further, with the addition of the second (cracking) stage for further thermal splitting of release d hydrocarbons into hydrogen (and carbon), preferably at a temperature of 1200 ºC., Pavel Straka and Vlastimil Kříž., and Obsahuje bibliografické odkazy
