Abstract: The pulverized coal char from the byproduct of China's coal coking industry has high yield and low activity, which is difficult to be directly recycled. The conventional thermochemical utilization method has harsh reaction conditions, catalyst deactivation and kinetic limitations. By using the alkali lignin from paper-making as a disposable catalyst, an alkali lignin enhanced chemical looping gasification method was constructed to treat coal coke powder, which can realize the collaborative resource utilization of industrial by-products. In this study, the reaction process of alkali lignin and coal char powder was studied by thermogravimetry and kinetic analysis. The thermal transformation experiment and kinetic analysis showed that alkali lignin could strengthen the chemical looping gasification process of pulverized coal char and promote the pyrolysis peak to move to low temperature. When the mass ratio of pulverized coal char to alkali lignin was 1∶3, the activation energy was 87.56% lower than that of coal coke powder alone, indicating that there was a synergistic effect between the two in the co pyrolysis process. The experiments in fixed bed reactor verified that the carbon conversion rate and the selectivity of syngas increased as the increasing of temperature and the content of alkali lignin and oxygen carrier, which effectively promoted the gasification reaction. However, excessive oxygen loading led to combustion reaction between syngas and lattice oxygen and reduce syngas selectivity. Under the optimal reaction conditions of 950 ℃, the mass ratio of coal char powder to alkali lignin was 1∶2, and the mass ratio of oxygen carrier to pulverized coal char/alkali lignin was 1∶1, the selectivity of syngas of alkali lignin/coal char powder in chemical looping gasification was 82.85%. This study provides a scientific basis for the resource utilization of alkali lignin and coal char powder.
