Straw is considered to be a kind of low heating value biomass. A new entrained flow gasification process to utilize the straw was proposed and introduced fast pyrolysis as a straw pre-treatment unit for biomass entrained flow gasification process. This study was focused on the key factors influencing on the pyrolysis products of straw and optimized the pyrolysis condition based on the analysis results to meet the needs for biomass entrained flow gasification. Experiments were carried out at the temperature ranged from 300 to 600• C. Under certain particle size and optimized fluidization flow, the maximum liquid product yield was 43.1% at the temperature of 400• C and the maximum solid product yield was 65.6% at the temperature of 300• C. The characteristics of both liquid and solid products relevant to the gasification applications were analyzed. The results showed that the energy density of the products was far more higher than that of the crude straw. Finally, an optimal pyrolysis condition was proposed, which was considered to be a suitable feedstock solution for the biomass-slurry entrained flow gasification.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
