Abstract

Fossil fuel sources such as coal, crude oil and natural gas would eventually get exhausted and their price continuously fluctuates. During the past four decades, many researches have tried to find alternate fuel resources to satisfy the worldwide increasing energy demand as well as to minimize dependence on fossil fuels. Among many possible alter nate fuel sources, agriculture biomass residues exhibit most promising possibility due to their inherent characteristics in storing solar energy and amenability in subsequent con version into convenient solid, liquid and gaseous fuels. Torrefaction is a thermal method for the conversion of biomass operating in temperature range of 200–300°C under atmo spheric conditions in the absence of oxygen. Agricultural crop residues that are abun - dant in the Philippines such as coconut leaves, cogongrass and rice husk were utilized to produce solid fuel by torrefaction for use as alternative source of energy. The key tor - refaction products were collected and analyzed. Combustion characteristics of both torre fied and untorrefied biomass were investigated. Torrefaction of the biomass significantly improved the heating value, proximate compositions also improved and were compa rable to coal and combustion characteristics were superior making it more suitable for fuel applications. The design of the torrefaction process was researched and developed.
可再生生物质固体燃料焙烧技术的研究进展
煤炭、原油、天然气等化石燃料资源终将枯竭,其价格将持续波动。在过去的四十年中,许多研究都试图找到替代燃料资源,以满足全球日益增长的能源需求,并尽量减少对化石燃料的依赖。在许多可能的替代燃料来源中,农业生物质残留物表现出最有希望的可能性,因为它们具有储存太阳能的固有特性,并且易于随后转化为方便的固体、液体和气体燃料。焙烧是一种用于生物质转化的热方法,在无氧的大气条件下,在200-300℃的温度范围内操作。菲律宾丰富的农作物残留物,如椰子叶、香草和稻壳,被用来通过焙烧生产固体燃料,作为替代能源。对关键的反应产物进行了收集和分析。研究了碳化和未碳化生物质的燃烧特性。生物质焙烧显著提高了热值,近似成分也得到改善,与煤相当,燃烧特性优越,更适合用作燃料。对焙烧工艺设计进行了研究和开发。
