Catalytic　steam　gasification　kinetics　of　Fujian　Youxi　anthracite　using　viscose　liquor　as　catalyst　was　investigated　in　an　isothermal　thermo-gravimetric　analyzer　under　ambient　pressure.　Coal　conversions　versus　reaction　time　with　different　viscose　liquor　concentrations　(0~12%　NaOH)　were　measured　at　the　temperature　range　from　850C　to　950C.　The　research　shows　that　the　viscose　liquor　can　greatly　improve　the　gasification　rate　and　carbon　conversion.　The　Loading　Saturation　Level　(LSL)　of　the　viscose　liquor　within　the　experimental　conditions　was　also　determined.　The　catalytic　steam　gasification　reaction　can　be　well　fitted　by　a　shrinking-core　model　(SCM)　and　the　reaction　rate　constants　are　obtained.　The　kinetic　analysis　indicates　that　the　catalytic　gasification　exhibits　a　prominent　compensation　effect　between　the　activation　energy　and　the　pre-exponential　factor.　The　kinetic　equation　including　the　compensation　effects　for　the　catalytic　steam　gasification　of　Fujian　Youxi　anthracite　using　viscose　liquor　as　catalyst　is　presented.
