However, whether harmful trace elements (HTEs) could be effectively removed in coarse-size char by thermal fragmentation action demand for further study. Two high-sulfur low-rank coals were used to explore the distribution behavior of As, Cr, Cu, Mn, and Pb in thermal fragmentation char with different particle sizes obtained by the fixed-bed and rotary kiln pyrolysis. Combined with the occurrence forms of HTEs in raw coal and volatilization characteristics of HTEs obtained by thermodynamic simulation software, the distribution of HTEs in thermal fragmentation char was analyzed. The effectiveness of thermal fragmentation of HTEs components in fixed-bed pyrolysis was reliant on high temperatures, with poor distribution resulting in less than 20 % of As, Cu, and Pb components being allocated to pulverization char. The thermal fragmentation of Cu components in disulfide form, was severely hindered by the binding effect of metaplast. In contrast, rotary kiln pyrolysis facilitated a greater distribution proportion of HTEs components into pulverization char at lower temperatures. Under optimal conditions, the distribution of As, Pb, and Cr into pulverization char surpassed 70 %. The strengthening thermal fragmentation in the rotary kiln reduce the binding effects, effectively increasing the distribution of copper-rich components into pulverized char.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":345,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Analytical and Applied Pyrolysis","volume":"186 ","pages":"Article 106883"},"PeriodicalIF":5.8,"publicationDate":"2024-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142747817","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The composition of the valuable chemicals generated from the pyrolysis process were observed TG-FTIR and GC/MS.

The results demonstrate that CaO and Nb₂O₅ based catalysts reduced oxygenated compounds and enhanced the formation of lighter hydrocarbons. At 550 °C, the hydrocarbon relative yield increased from 2.4 % under non-catalytic conditions to 18 % with FeCaO catalyst. The inclusion of iron in the catalysts contributed to improved vapor quality and stability, leading to superior hydrocarbon conversion rates. An increase in hydrocarbon production was observed across all catalysts at various pyrolysis temperatures. Regarding oxygenated compounds, catalytic tests at 650 °C and 750 °C resulted in a slight decrease in oxygenate relative yields, with Nb₂O₅ exhibiting the most significant reduction, dropping from 59 % to 44 % and from 56 % to 40 %, respectively, compared to non-catalytic conditions. Conversely, at 550 °C, the catalyst's impact on oxygenate relative yields was minimal. A comparison between catalytic and non-catalytic tests at 550 °C revealed a reduction in the relative yield of oxygenated compounds with three or more oxygen atoms, from 32 % to below 12 %, while compounds containing one oxygen atom increased from 2 % to 31 % when using FeCaO catalyst. This trend persisted across all catalytic conditions, suggesting partial deoxygenation of oxygenated compounds. Increasing the pyrolysis temperature consistently contributed to deoxygenation across all catalysts.

The originality of the current study involves two directions: first, the use of <em>Chlorella</em> sp. microalgae, cultivated under simulated post-combustion gas, as a raw material for producing drop-in biofuel precursors; and second, an investigation of the catalytic activity of hierarchical zeolites in the deoxygenation and denitrogenation of volatile pyrolysis products, enhancing hydrocarbon content. To accomplish this, a micro-furnace-type temperature-programmable pyrolyzer coupled with chromatographic separation and mass spectrometry detection (Py-GC/MS) was utilized to assess the upgrading effectiveness of distinct zeolites (faujasite-type, MFI-type, and mordenite-type) on volatile pyrolysis products. All tested zeolites effectively reduced oxygenated and nitrogenated compounds in the volatile pyrolysis products, enhancing their suitability for producing renewable fuel. This supports sustainable development goals by promoting affordable, clean energy and climate action. HMor yielded the highest hydrocarbon content (98.5 %), followed by HZSM-5 (97.6 %) and HY (85.5 %). Catalytic upgrading significantly increased the concentration of aromatic hydrocarbons (at least 66.3 %), with MFI-type zeolites showing the highest selectivity for valuable BETX compounds (benzene, ethylbenzene, toluene, xylene). Hydrocarbons in the gasoline range, with up to 91.7 %, predominantly align with the needs of the transportation fuel market. The principal component analysis illustrates that using MFI-type zeolites promoted the lowest selectivity for PAHs, constituting precursors for coke formation, which is advantageous for ensuring a longer catalyst lifespan. Our results are promising and encourage the conversion of microalgal biomass into renewable fuel additives for formulating drop-in biofuels, as hydrocarbon-rich volatile pyrolysis products could be directly integrated into existing biorefineries.
