According to the transformation behaviors, chemical features and thermal features under different pyrolysis temperatures, the 44 elements can be categorized to 4 groups: light elements (Li and Be), nonmetal elements (Se, As, B, etc.), heavy metal elements (including 24 elements, Cu, V, Co, etc.) and rear earth elements (REE) (14 elements). The results showed that (1) the higher pyrolysis temperatures, the higher release ratio and release ratio of REE are very low; (2) the enrichment ratios of the elements in chars increase by the sequence of nonmetal elements < light elements < heavy metal elements < REE. The nonmetal elements, light elements and a few heavy metal elements will be emitted out from coal during coal pyrolysis and they will pollute environment.
