The　CO2　gasification　of　Fuijian　anthracite　using　black　liquor　(BL)　as　a　catalyst　was　performed　in　a　thermogravimetry　analyzer　(TGA)　under　temperatures　ranging　from　750　°C　to　950　°C　at　ambient　pressure　to　evaluate　the　catalytic　effect　of　3%,　5%,　8%,　10%　Na-BL-Loading　on　carbon　conversion.　Better　catalytic　activity　was　found　with　8%　Na-BL-Loading　than　those　of　other　concentrations.　Under　the　reaction　control　conditions,　the　relationships　of　coal　conversion　vs　reaction　time　of　three　kinds　of　Fuijian　high-metamorphous　anthracites　were　measured　within　temperature　range　from　750　°C　to　950　°C.　Both　homogeneous　model　(HM)　and　shrinking-core　model　(SCM)　were　applied　to　correlate　the　relations　between　conversion　and　time　and　to　determine　the　reaction　rate　constants　(k)　under　different　temperatures,　then　the　reaction　activation　energy　(Ea)　and　the　pre-exponential　factor　(A)　of　the　three　anthracites　were　predicted　by　using　Arrhenius　equation　k　=　A·exp(Ea/RT).　The　Ea　ranged　from　76.18　kJ/mol　to　104.22　kJ/mol　at　8%　Na-BL-Loading　condition　was　detected,　which　is　less　than　that　from　150.93　kJ/mol　to　185.44　kJ/mol　at　non-catalyst　case,　clearly　demonstrating　that　the　BL　could　be　the　source　of　inexpensive　and　effective　catalyst　for　coal　gasification.　©　2007　Institute　of　Coal　Chemistry,　Chinese　Academy　of　Sciences.
