Abstract:
Morphological characterization of chars from coal and bagasse plays an important role in both the burning efficiency and intrinsic reactivity of chars, during a combustion process [1], [2]. In this work, abundant data on the morphology of chars produced from coal and bagasse blends are presented. Char synthesis was performed varying the temperature (900, 1000 and 1100 °C) and bagasse proportion feeding (0, 25, 50, 75 and 100% w/w) in the pyrolysis reaction. Proximate, ultimate, petrographic and vitrinite reflectance of raw coal and bagasse are presented. Char morphology is classified into three groups -- thin walls, thick walls, and solid particles--, and results are exhibited. The data set is a comprehensive source for advancing in a further understanding of char's morphology from coal-bagasse blends.
