Kinetic Study of Biomass Pyrolysis at Moderate and High Heating Regimes
نویسندگان
چکیده
In practical terms, the description of biomass pyrolysis kinetics by rationally-based models, that do not represent the detailed physicochemical mechanism of the process, but predict the overall yield, might be extremely useful. The mechanisms of global decomposition (by means an irreversible, single step, and first order reaction) have only been validated under dynamic regime at slow heating rates.

متن کاملKinetic models for biomass pyrolysis
Biomass is a versatile material. It can be directly combusted to produce heat; however, by first subjecting it to a thermal or biological degradation, it can also be converted to products with a higher heating value or to materials with properties superior to those of the raw material [1]. When heated in the absence of oxygen, biomass decomposes into a range of products; including char (solid),...
