Abstract

It is known that the use of fossil fuels is still necessary for the global supply of energy. Various sources are used, such as mineral coal, which has several advantages like great abundance, different geographical distribution and low cost. Mineral coal is an efficient fuel in terms of energy. The objective of this study was to demonstrate the employability of Brazilian green petroleum coke as a possible substitute for mineral coal in the generation of thernal energy. Several characterization and analytical identification tests were performed for both solid fuels, obtaining favorable results for green petroleum coke. Parameters such as high calorific value (13% higher), high fixed carbon content (16.5% higher), low ash content (0.35% for coke and 7.5% for coal), lower volatiles content (38.5% lower) and humidity (0.49% for coke and 1.59% for coal) are the main facilitators in the energy generation process corroborating the favorable characteristics of applicability of green petroleum coke as fuel.

绿色石油焦 (GPC) 和矿煤 (MC) 作为热能来源的表征

摘要

众所周知，全球能源供应仍然需要使用化石燃料。其来源多样，如矿产煤，具有储量丰富、地域分布不同、成本低廉等优点。就能源而言，矿煤是一种高效的燃料。本研究的目的是证明巴西绿色石油焦在热能生产中作为矿煤替代品的可行性。对两种固体燃料进行了多项表征和分析鉴定测试，获得了绿色石油焦的良好结果。高热值（高13%）、高固定碳含量（高16.5%）、低灰分含量（焦炭0.35%，煤7.5%）、低挥发分含量（低38.5%）和湿度（0.49%）等参数用于可乐和 1。
