“…Conventional pyrolysis is commonly conducted by slow pyrolysis or fast pyrolysis. Slow pyrolysis uses a slow heating rate (about 2-5 C per minute) and a temperature of 300-900 C, so it needs a longer residence time of about 1-8 hours [10][11][12]. Fast pyrolysis uses heating rates of 5-40 C per minute and a temperature range of 700-900 C, so it needs a shorter residence time of only 30 minutes to 3 hours [13][14][15].…”

The plasma-assisted pyrolysis process is a powerful treatment for converting wood biomass to graphitic carbon. In order to make this process more precise and effective in time, the rate of graphitization data is needed, especially for predicting the effective time of treatment. In this study, numerical analysis is conducted to predict the rate of graphitization. An explicit finite difference method is applied for the numerical analysis. Some initial parameters used are the wood thickness (5 mm), coefficient of diffusivity (0.082 mm2/s), input plasma temperature (4,000 C), initial wood temperature (35 C), and room temperature (27 C). The analysis was conducted with a variation of time differences of 1 s, 2 s, 3 s, 4 s, and 5 s. The assumption used in this analysis is that the minimum temperature for graphitic carbon conversion is 2,000 C. The result of this study is the values of graphitization rates and exposure times summarized in TABLE 1. Therefore, this numerical analysis can successfully be used to predict the rate of graphitization and plasma exposure time for different wood biomass thicknesses.
