The Effects of Pyrolysis Conditions on Combustion and Gasification Reactivities of Biomass Chars and the Quality of Their Ash

目前正在做出相当大的努力，通过利用生物质等可再生能源，将化石燃料对环境的影响降至最低。与生物质热转化相关的许多挑战与其焦炭特性有关。本项目的目的是对热解阶段的反应条件对生成的焦炭的结构和组成变化、燃烧和气化反应能力以及无机物的释放和灰分形成的影响有一个基本的了解。这种全面和综合的方法应该揭示支持现有和未来生物质利用所必需的基本科学。

Considerable efforts are being made to minimise the environmental impacts of fossil fuels by utilising renewable energy sources like biomass. Many of the challenges associated with the thermal conversion of biomass relate to its char characteristics. The aim of this project is to gain a fundamental understanding about the impact of reaction conditions during the pyrolytic stage on the structural and compositional transformations of the resultant char, its combustion and gasification reactivities, and the release of inorganic matter and ash formation. This holistic and integrated approach should reveal the underlying science necessary to support existing and future biomass use.
