Catalytic　steam　gasification　kinetics　of　Fujian　anthracite　using　black　liquor　(BL)　as　catalyst　was　investigated　in　an　isothermal　thermo-gravimetric　analyzer　under　ambient　pressure　in　the　conditions　of　eliminating　both　inner　and　outer　diffusion　effects.　The　relationships　of　coal　conversion　versus　reaction　time　with　different　catalyst　concentrations　(0-10%)　were　determined　from　850°C　to　950°C.　The　research　showed　that　BL　could　greatly　improve　the　gasification　rate　and　carbon　conversion,　and　the　loading　saturation　level　(LSL)　of　the　BL　catalyst　under　the　experiment　conditions　was　determined.　The　shrinking-core　model　(SCM)　was　used　to　correlate　catalytic　steam　gasification　parameters　to　obtain　the　reaction　rate　constants　at　different　temperatures.　Further　kinetic　analysis　indicated　that　the　catalytic　gasification　exhibited　clear　compensation　effects.　A　kinetic　equation　including　compensation　effects　for　the　catalytic　steam　gasification　of　Fujian　anthracite　using　BL　catalyst　was　finally　presented.　©　All　Rights　Reserved.
