Investigation into char structure using Raman and petrographic techniques to assess combustion reactivity

Coal petrography, micro Raman spectroscopy (MRS) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) were employed to obtain further inside into the evolution of char structure and its reactivity during heat treatment in the temperature range of 300-1400°C on inertinite-rich South African coals. The lack of pub...
