Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or

Introduction
Coal gasification is an important technology for clean coal conversion, which involves many factors.
The chemical reactivity of coal is one of the essential parameters for the gasification industry and its
relevant coal trade.
The chemical reactivity of coal with CO (carboxyreactivity of coal) is a measurement of the coal’s ability
to reduce CO to CO, which is an important parameter of evaluating the coal quality for gasification and
combustion industry. The level of carboxyreactivity of coal is directly related to other characteristics
of the coal in the gasification or combustion furnace like the reactive extent, the reaction speed and
efficiency, the consumption of coal and oxygen, the effective compositions of the coal gas, so it is not
only used for evaluating the applicability of coal for gasification, combustion, indirect liquefaction, etc.,
but also for guiding users to select coal used for above technologies.

This document integrates and modifies GB/T 220 to specify a method for determining the reactivity
of coal with carbon dioxide (carboxyreactivity). It can also be applied to determine the reactivity of
coke for the purpose of gasification and combustion.

4 Principle
A coal sample with the size fraction of 3 mm to 6 mm is carbonized in a dry distillation furnace to
remove the volatile matter (this is not necessary for coke samples). Sieve and collect a portion of the
carbonized products (coke residue) with the designated size. Put them into the reaction tube and heat
to the specified rates. When the required temperature is achieved, pass CO gas through the reaction
tube at a uniform flow rate. Determine the volume fraction of residual CO in the gases by a gas analyser
at the specified time of passing CO gas. Calculate the ratio α (%) of CO gas being reduced to CO and
2 2
take it as the index of the carboxyreactivity at the specified temperature.
