• RPM involving intraparticle diffusion was applied to the reaction of coke with CO 2 and H 2 O. • The model was validated using experimental gasification tests of coke lumps. • Reaction rate and effective diffusivity of H 2 O were significantly greater than CO 2. • Reaction with H 2 O and higher temperatures shifts the reaction to diffusion controlled. • H 2 O gasification promotes coke degradation at the surface, while CO 2 reacts volumetrically. The reduction of CO 2 emissions from blast furnace operations is critical to meet decarbonisation targets in the steelmaking sector. Introducing hydrogen gas into the blast furnace displacing pulverised coal or coke is a promising solution to decrease the carbon usage of blast furnace ironmaking because it generates H 2 O instead of CO 2 by reducing the ferrous burden. However, replacing pulverised coal and coke with hydrogen can increase the concentration of H 2 O and change the thermal and chemical conditions in the furnace. These changes impact the gasification reaction rate and degradation mechanism of coke. In this research, a modified Random Pore Model (RPM) incorporating the processes of internal diffusion and interfacial chemical reaction was developed to investigate the rate and mechanism of coke lump gasification under conditions relevant to conventional and H 2 -enriched blast furnace conditions. High-temperature thermogravimetric analysis was used to evaluate the gasification of coke lumps with coke reactivity index (CRI) values of 39.5 and 25.3. These experiments were conducted isothermally at temperatures between 1173 K to 1473 K. The results showed that both the diffusion coefficient of the reacting gas and the reaction rate increase with temperature, but these two factors compete to dominate the reaction mechanism. At higher temperatures, the enhanced local carbon reactivity improved conversion near the outer surface of coke lumps. Coke gasification with H 2 O showed reaction rate constants and effective diffusion coefficients up to 4.7 and 6 times higher, respectively, compared to CO 2. Moreover, carbon conversion across the coke lump was more uniform during gasification with CO 2 compared with H 2 O, indicating gasification with CO 2 is a chemically controlled process across the temperature range investigated. However, gas diffusion was the dominant mechanism in coke gasification with H 2 O due to its higher local chemical reaction rate, leading to enhanced carbon conversion near the surface of the lumps.
