Driven by the demand for accurate intrinsic kinetics for the prediction of the combustion rate of purely fired Zhundong coal (ZDC) in a slag tapping boiler, the surface activation function (SAF) and intrinsic kinetic parameters of two types of rapid-pyrolysis ZDC chars were revealed via the isothermal and nonisothermal thermogravimetric analysis methods. The isothermal kinetic results show that the activation energy (E), reaction order and SAF of these two chars were the same, at 146 kJ/mol, 0.78 and X⁰.⁴⁴ (1 – X)⁻⁰.⁴⁸, respectively. Therefore, the difference in the intrinsic reaction rate between these two chars was caused only by the different pre-exponential factors, which are mainly influenced by the specific surface area and catalytic elements in char ash. Nonisothermal kinetic parameters were obtained via the isothermal model-fitting method (ISOM), thereby using the isothermal SAF to fit the nonisothermal data at different heating rates (βs). The results indicate that the E values of the two chars were 148.95 ± 3.12 kJ/mol and 146.16 ± 1.66 kJ/mol, indicating that β has little influence on E. These measured values are consistent with the isothermal E values, so the ISOM is suitable for the determination of the nonisothermal kinetics of rapid-pyrolysis char combustion.
