Elemental Analysis 120 From Tables A.7 and A.8, it can be seen that the chars made in fuel-lean conditions have lower H/C mole ratio than those chars made in fuel-rich conditions, as shown in Figure A.15. This may explain the higher reactivities of the chars made in fuel- rich conditions, since char reactivity has been correlated with hydrogen content (Charpenay et al., 1992).
