Abstract
This study investigated how biomass pyrolysis varies with the different fractions of magnesite mixing into biomass. The pyrolysis occurred with simultaneous decomposition of magnesite without use of any gasification reagent, and was analyzed in terms of producer gas yield and quality. As magnesite fraction increased from 0 to 30 %, the yield of producer gas and its calorific value increased from 48.6 % to 66.3 % and 8.29 to 8.93 MJ/Nm3, respectively. The carbon and hydrogen conversion increased from 44.1 % to 60.7 % and 43.1 % to 66.2 %, respectively. The characterization results revealed that magnesite particles facilitated the conversion of fixed carbon and the thermal/catalytic cracking of tar to produce H-rich gas. The in-situ generated CO2 from magnesite decomposition could be reduced to CO/CH4 in the reductive atmosphere of the pyrolysis products. This study proposes the concept of converting low-energy–density biomass into gas without oxygen and provides a novel approach for producing H-rich gas from biomass.
期刊介绍:
Carbon Resources Conversion (CRC) publishes fundamental studies and industrial developments regarding relevant technologies aiming for the clean, efficient, value-added, and low-carbon utilization of carbon-containing resources as fuel for energy and as feedstock for materials or chemicals from, for example, fossil fuels, biomass, syngas, CO2, hydrocarbons, and organic wastes via physical, thermal, chemical, biological, and other technical methods. CRC also publishes scientific and engineering studies on resource characterization and pretreatment, carbon material innovation and production, clean technologies related to carbon resource conversion and utilization, and various process-supporting technologies, including on-line or off-line measurement and monitoring, modeling, simulations focused on safe and efficient process operation and control, and process and equipment optimization.
