Abstract
To explore the effects of low-temperature torrefaction on physicochemical properties and energy–mass co-benefit of corn straws, the products obtained after torrefaction at different low temperatures were studied. Through proximate analysis, ultimate analysis, scanning electron microscopy, and higher calorific value, the effects of different low-temperature torrefaction on physicochemical properties of corn straws and energy–mass co-benefit were studied. The results showed as follows: After low-temperature torrefaction pretreatment, with the decrease of volatile matter, the H/C ratio decreased by 21.59%, the O/C ratio decreased by 19.05%, and the higher calorific value increased by 14.78% from 19.42 to 22.29 MJ·kg−1. Therefore, low-temperature torrefaction pretreatment can promote the volatilization of light components in corn straws, significantly increase the fixed carbon content, and then improve the mass density and energy quality into high-grade fuels. The improvement of mass density is convenient for storage and transportation, and the improvement of energy–mass is convenient for improving the calorific value of combustion.
期刊介绍:
Energy Science & Engineering is a peer reviewed, open access journal dedicated to fundamental and applied research on energy and supply and use. Published as a co-operative venture of Wiley and SCI (Society of Chemical Industry), the journal offers authors a fast route to publication and the ability to share their research with the widest possible audience of scientists, professionals and other interested people across the globe. Securing an affordable and low carbon energy supply is a critical challenge of the 21st century and the solutions will require collaboration between scientists and engineers worldwide. This new journal aims to facilitate collaboration and spark innovation in energy research and development. Due to the importance of this topic to society and economic development the journal will give priority to quality research papers that are accessible to a broad readership and discuss sustainable, state-of-the art approaches to shaping the future of energy. This multidisciplinary journal will appeal to all researchers and professionals working in any area of energy in academia, industry or government, including scientists, engineers, consultants, policy-makers, government officials, economists and corporate organisations.
