    Abstract

    Gasification-based technologies are at the core of many low emission technologies for the utilisation of low-rank fuels, such as brown coal and sub-bituminous coal. This study focuses on the evolution of char structure and its reactivity during the gasification of low-rank fuels. The kinetic parameters and the volatilisation of inherent metallic species are examined as well to provide further insights into the gasification mechanisms.
