Kinetic analyses of biomass pyrolysis using the distributed activation energy model
The pyrolysis behaviors of several agricultural residues have been investigated by using thermogravimetric analysis. The evolving rates of the gaseous products during the pyrolysis such as H 2, CH 4, H 2O, CO and CO 2 were also measured by the TG-MS techniques. Without any assumption and mathematica...

Zusammenfassung: | The pyrolysis behaviors of several agricultural residues have been investigated by using thermogravimetric analysis. The evolving rates of the gaseous products during the pyrolysis such as H
2, CH
4, H
2O, CO and CO
2 were also measured by the TG-MS techniques. Without any assumption and mathematical fitting, we could obtain the very proper kinetic parameters (the distribution curve of activation energy,
f(
E), and the activation energy dependent frequency factor,
k
0(
E)) of biomass pyrolysis by utilizing the distributed activation energy model (DAEM) proposed by Miura and Maki [Miura K, Maki T. Energ Fuel 1998;12:864]. The peaks of
f(
E) curve for rice straw, rice husk, corncob and cellulose were found to be 170,
174,
183, and 185
kJ/mol, respectively. The
k
0 value increased from an order of 10
11 to an order of 10
18
s
−1, while
E increased from 120 to 250
kJ/mol. The catalytic effects of alkali and alkaline earth metals during the pyrolysis play a major role in the variation of
f(
E) curve among the different biomass species. |
