The pyrolysis volatiles generated during the pyrolysis process are condensed and collected through a cold trap (-20 ℃) ​​containing methanol at the rear end of the reaction tube to obtain liquid tar product, and the pyrolysis gaseous products are collected through a gas bag. The solid product obtained after pyrolysis is semi-coke.

[0035] Example 4: This example differs from Examples 1-3 in that the method for obtaining coal gas, tar, and semi-coke through impregnation and pyrolysis of long-flame coal includes: crushing and screening coal No. 8 from the No. 106 coal mine of China Coal Energy Xinjiang Tianshan Coal and Electricity Co., Ltd., weighing 100 g of the above-mentioned long-flame coal particles with a particle size of 16-40 mesh as raw material, impregnating them in 500 mL of a mixture of 1% sodium carbonate and 1% potassium acetate at room temperature for 12 h, then filtering, drying the impregnated long-flame coal at 60 ℃, and then transferring it into a tube furnace for pyrolysis at 600 ℃ for 60 min, followed by immediate cooling after pyrolysis.

Figure 4 The image shows the appearance of the tar solution collected with methanol after the long-flame coal impregnated in a mixture of 1% sodium carbonate and 1% potassium acetate by mass fraction in Example 4 was pyrolyzed at 600°C for 60 minutes. The image shows a brownish-yellow tar-methanol solution.

The uniformly mixed mixture is then fed into a press for mechanical pressing to form columnar carbon with a diameter of 4 mm using a columnar mold. The columnar carbon is then naturally dried at room temperature for 3 days. The columnar carbon is then cut to obtain novel columnar carbon with a length of 4-8 mm and a diameter of 4 mm. 50 g of the novel columnar carbon is transferred to a tube furnace. When the tube furnace is heated to 500 °C, distilled water is introduced. The volumetric flow rate of the distilled water is controlled at 2 mL / min using a peristaltic pump. The water is injected into the heating zone of the tube furnace through the peristaltic pump and rapidly vaporizes to generate water vapor under high temperature. The water vapor activation time is 1 h. After activation, the mixture is rapidly cooled to room temperature to obtain long-flame coal-based granular carbon.

[0038] Example 6: This example differs from Examples 1-5 in that the semi-coke obtained in Example 3 is first ground to 200 mesh. Then, 100 g of semi-coke ground to 200 mesh, 8 g of mesophase pitch, 6 g of CMC, and 30 mL (equivalent to 30 g) of distilled water are added to a stirred tank and mixed for 30 min. The uniformly mixed mixture is then fed into a press for mechanical pressing to form columnar carbon with a diameter of 4 mm using a columnar mold. The columnar carbon is then naturally dried at room temperature for 3 days. The columnar carbon is then cut to obtain novel columnar carbon with a length of 4-8 mm and a diameter of 4 mm. 50 g of the novel columnar carbon is transferred to a tube furnace.

The water vapor activation time is 3 h. After activation, the mixture is rapidly cooled to room temperature to obtain long-flame coal-based granular carbon.

[0039] Example 7: This example differs from Examples 1-6 in that the semi-coke obtained in Example 4 is first ground to 200 mesh. Then, 100 g of semi-coke ground to 200 mesh, 12 g of mesophase pitch, 4 g of CMC, and 30 mL (equivalent to 30 g) of distilled water are added to a mixing vessel and stirred for 30 min. The uniformly stirred mixture is then fed into a stamping press for pressing and mechanical stamping to form columnar carbon with a diameter of 4 mm using a columnar mold. The columnar carbon is then naturally dried at room temperature for 3 days. The columnar carbon is then cut to obtain novel columnar carbon with a length of 4-8 mm and a diameter of 4 mm. 50 g of the novel columnar carbon was transferred into a tubular furnace. When the furnace reached 500 °C, distilled water was introduced, with a peristaltic pump controlling the flow rate at 0.7 mL / min. The water was injected into the heating zone of the furnace via the peristaltic pump, rapidly vaporizing to generate steam at the high temperature. The steam activation time was 1.5 h.

[0040] Example 8: This example differs from Examples 1-7 in that the semi-coke obtained in Example 4 is first ground to 200 mesh. Then, 100 g of semi-coke ground to 200 mesh, 12 g of mesophase pitch, 12 g of ramie powder, 4 g of CMC, and 30 mL (equivalent to 30 g) of distilled water are added to a mixing vessel and stirred for 30 min. The uniformly stirred mixture is then fed into a stamping press for pressing, mechanically stamped to form columnar carbon with a diameter of 4 mm using a columnar mold.

The columnar carbon is then cut to obtain novel columnar carbon with a length of 4-8 mm and a diameter of 4 mm. 50 g of the novel columnar carbon was transferred into a tubular furnace. When the furnace reached 500°C, distilled water was introduced, with a peristaltic pump controlling the flow rate at 0.7 mL / min.

Figure 6 As shown, its iodine value was 1028 mg / g, which is higher than that of granular charcoal A and commercially available granular charcoal with an iodine value of 800 mg / g. This indicates that the addition of ramie powder can effectively improve the pore structure of granular charcoal and increase its iodine value. Figure 7 This is the XRD pattern of particulate carbon B. The broad peaks observed at 2θ of about 24 and 43 degrees correspond to the diffraction peaks of the (002) and (100) crystal planes of the porous carbon material, respectively, indicating its amorphous morphological characteristics.

The columnar carbon is then cut to obtain novel columnar carbon with a length of 4–8 mm and a diameter of 4 mm. 50 g of the novel columnar carbon was transferred into a tube furnace. When the tube furnace was heated to 500°C, distilled water was introduced. The volumetric flow rate of the distilled water was controlled at 0.5 mL / min using a peristaltic pump.

[0043] Example 11: A long-flame coal-based granular charcoal is used for indoor air purification and industrial waste gas treatment. The long-flame coal-based granular charcoal can effectively adsorb VOCs such as formaldehyde and benzene. The iodine value of the long-flame coal-based granular charcoal can be as high as 1028 mg / g. The higher the iodine value, the stronger the ability to adsorb formaldehyde and other substances.
