“…Due to the exhaustion of fossil resources and the increasing emissions of polluting, many studies are now being directed towards the exploitation of alternative renewable fuel [1][2][3]. Biodiesel, defined as the fatty acid methyl esters, has attracted great attentions in recent years as one of the most potential substituted energy resources [4].…”

“…Biomass is also a versa tile energy source, which can be used for power generation [2] and to produce liquid biofuels [3,4], synthesis gas [5], chemicals [6], or charcoal [7,8], via thermochemical processes such as combustion, gasification and liquefaction. Biomass pyrolysis takes place during these thermochemical processes.…”

Abstract:The thermal decomposition of biomass (pine pellets) and sewage sludge was studied using thermogravi metric analysis under an inert atmosphere and the Distributed Activation Energy Model (DAEM) was employed. The activation energy and the frequency factor that characterize the kinetics were determined for both samples. A simplification of the process for prediction of devolatilization curves was proposed, evaluating its validity for both cases. The simplified method was found to combine both simplicity and low deviations with experimental data.

“…There are growing interests of developing efficient biomass thermal conversion technologies worldwide to combat climate change and provide the solutions for current energy crisis. Biomass thermochemical conversion processes including combustion, gasification and liquefaction are employed for power generation [2] and production of liquid biofuels [3][4][5], chemicals [6,7] and charcoal [1,[8][9][10][11] which can be used as activated carbon [12] for absorbent as well as domestic fuels. A good understanding of the decomposition of biomass during thermochemical conversion is important for developing efficient processing technology.…”

a b s t r a c tThe purpose of this work is to gain knowledge on kinetics of biomass decomposition under oxidative atmospheres, mainly examining effect of heating rate on different biomass species. Two sets of experiments are carried out: the first set of experiments is thermal decomposition of four different wood particles, namely aspens, birch, oak and pine under an oxidative atmosphere and analysis with TGA; and the second set is to use large size samples of wood under different heat fluxes in a purpose-built furnace, where the temperature distribution, mass loss and ignition characteristics are recorded and analyzed by a data post-processing system. The experimental data is then used to develop a two-step reactions kinetic scheme with low and high temperature regions while the activation energy for the reactions of the species under different heating rates is calculated. It is found that the activation energy of the second stage reaction for the species with similar constituent fractions tends to converge to a similar value under the high heating rate.
