The co-gasification of coal and cyanobacteria is an important approach to achieve the resource utilization of cyanobacteria. The TG-FTIR combined technology was used to explore the co-gasification characteristics of different blending ratio mixtures under CO2 atmosphere
which provided a theoretical basis for the application of chemical chain combustion technology. It is difficult to distinguish the drying stage and depolymerization stage in cyanobacteria
the polysaccharide of which was depolymerized in a low temperature of 100℃. During the pyrolysis stage
two weightlessness peaks were found in mixture samples corresponding to cyanobacteria and coal pyrolysis
respectively. The carbonyl and aromatics were the main gaseous products of cyanobacteria pyrolysis
and CO
CO2 and hydrocarbons were mainly produced from coal pyrolysis. The pyrolysis and carbonization stages can be described by the homogeneous model. The kinetic parameters of gasification stage were fitted well by the shrinking core model. The influence of synergy effect was found limited in pyrolysis stage. However
a significant synergistic effect was observed in char gasification. The reactive activity of coal gasification was intensified by blending cyanobacteria.
