Fuel production from microwave assisted pyrolysis of coal with carbon surfaces

In this study, coal solids were subjected to Microwave (MW) pyrolysis conditions. Coconut Activated Carbon (CAC) solids used as a MW absorber was distributed uniformly over coal solids to reduce hotspots. Three process parameters; CAC loading, MW power and N2 flow rate were studies on pyrolysis heat...
