Abstract:

The thermal decomposition characteristics of four limestones with different particle sizes were investigated by using thermal synchronous analyzer under pure carbon dioxide atmosphere with heating rate of 10~30 K/min.A modified double extrapolation method was used to solve the kinetic parameters of the thermal decomposition reaction of limestone.The results of data analysis showed that:the limestone particle size was proportional to the activation energy required for its decomposition,the smaller the particle size,the smaller the activation energy required,and vice versa.The faster the heating rate,the higher the corresponding reaction temperature,and the shorter the time required to reach the same conversion rate,indicating the faster the reaction process.The thermal decomposition of limestone with four different particle sizes under pure carbon dioxide atmosphere was followed the random nucleation and subsequent growth model,and different the reaction rate of limestone thermal decomposition under different heating rates was different,and reaction order range was 1/2~2.The thermal decomposition reaction rate of limestone was different at different heating rates,the thermal decomposition reaction rates of limestone with particle size of 38~250 μm were controlled by interfacial chemical reaction.

Key words: limestone, particle size, pyrolysis reaction kinetics, improved double extrapolation method
