Elemental Analysis<br />

From Tables A.7 and A.8, it can be seen that the chars made in fuel-lean<br />

conditions have lower H/C mole ratio than those chars made in fuel-rich conditions, as<br />

shown in Figure A.15. This may explain the higher reactivities of the chars made in fuel-<br />

rich conditions, since char reactivity has been correlated with hydrogen content<br />

(Charpenay et al., 1992).
