摘要
A thermogravimetric system, previously developed for solid fuel degradation, has been modified to examine liquids obtained from conventional pyrolysis and updraft gasification of beech wood. Thermogravimetric curves in air show two main reaction stages. The first (temperatures less than or equal to 600 K) concerns evaporation, formation and release of gases and formation of secondary char (coke). Then, at higher temperatures, heterogeneous combustion of secondary char takes place. A reliable procedure has been developed to carry out the first stage under assigned temperature using a PID controller and the applied heat flux as the manipulated variable. It has been found that the pyrolysis temperature does not affect significantly weight loss dynamics and amount of secondary char (approximately equal to 20% of the liquid on a dry basis). The thermogravimetric curves are well predicted by a global mechanism consisting of three parallel first-order reactions (activation energies of 66, 32 and 36 kJ/mol, respectively). Due to strong physico-chemical transformations (sample swelling and solidification) associated with secondary char formation, it is not possible to avoid ignition during heterogeneous combustion. Therefore, this reaction stage should be investigated separately after collection and adequate re-preparation of the charred sample. (C) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All riahts reserved.
