The influence of fine structure on the pyrolysis of cellulose. I. Vacuum pyrolysis

The effects of crystallinity, orientation and degree of polymerization on the vacuum pyrolysis of cellulose have been investigated. Natural, modified and manmade celluloses were characterized and the kinetics of their pyrolysis at 251°C studied. The high-temperature pyrolysis of these samples was also investigated by means of DSC and TGA. At 251°C all of the samples showed a rapid, initial weight loss followed by a linear (weight loss)^1/2 versus time dependency. Both the initial weight loss and the subsequent reaction rate were dependent upon the crystallinity of the sample. The reaction rate was shown to be inversely proportional to (DP)^1/2 and related to the orientation. Effects of crystallinity and orientation could also be seen in the DSC thermograms and in the apparent energies of activation. Results are interpreted in terms of probable mechanisms of the uncatalyzed pyrolysis of cellulose.     

不同彬县焦的水蒸气气化反应动力学研究

在常压,900℃～1050℃考察了彬县煤的三种焦样（常规方法制焦、快速热解焦和脱灰快速热解焦）在热天平上的水蒸气气化反应。考察了温度和焦种对水蒸气气化反应的影响。对比了三种焦的动力学参数和比表面积。结果表明,气化温度是影响煤焦气化反应速率的主要因素,提高50℃,反应速率增加一倍。快速热解焦的反应速率在相同反应条件下明显大于慢速焦。三种焦的表观活化能以快速焦最大,因而反应速率受温度的影响也最大,快速脱灰焦次之,慢速焦最小。     

Kinetic Study on Pyrolysis of Extracted Oil Palm Fiber. Isothermal and non-isothermal conditions

Pyrolysis of extracted oil palm fibers under isothermal and non-isothermal conditions was carried out in a thermogravimetric analyzer. Isothermal curves showed that increasing pyrolysis temperature resulted in a faster pyrolysis and a higher conversion of oil palm fibers into gaseous products. Raw material sizes (below 1.0 mm) had insignificant effects on the isothermal pyrolysis, but the fibers with a size fraction of 1.0 to 2.0 mm resulted in a lesser conversion. Two-step reactions were found in the non-isothermal pyrolysis as evidenced by the presence of two peaks in the derivative thermogravimetry curves. Raw material sizes had no obvious effects on the temperature at which the maximum rate of pyrolysis occurred, but affected the rate of sample mass loss. For the low and high temperature regimes, a three-dimensional diffusion mechanism and a first-order of reaction mechanism respectively were used to describe the non-isothermal pyrolysis kinetics of extracted oil palm fibers. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

The influence of fine structure on the pyrolysis of cellulose. II. Pyrolysis in air

The pyrolysis of purified celluloses in air at 251°C was studied. The pyrolysis was found to obey first-order kinetics, and the rate constants correlated with the crystallinities, orientations and accessibilities of the samples. The results are interpreted in terms of an oxygen-catalyzed decomposition, with the accessibility of oxygen to the cellulose determining the rate of pyrolysis. The production of levoglucosan under conditions approaching combustion was shown to be a function of the crystallinity and orientation of cellulose. Some levoglucosan appears to be produced from the less ordered regions.

Pyrolysis of textile wastes: I. Kinetics and yields

Thermal behavior of textile waste was studied by thermogravimetry at different heating rates and also by semi-batch pyrolysis. It was shown that the onset temperature of mass loss is within 104–156 °C and the final reaction temperature is within 423–500 °C. The average mass loss is 89.5%. There are three DTG peaks located at the temperature ranges of 135–309, 276–394 and 374–500 °C, respectively. The first two might be associated with either with decomposition of the hemicellulose and cellulose or with different processes of cellulose decomposition. The third peak is possibly associated to a synthetic polymer. At a temperature of 460 °C, the expected amount of volatiles of this waste is within 85–89%. The kinetic parameters of the individual degradation processes were determined by using a parallel model. Their dependence on the heating rate was also established. The pyrolysis rate is considered as the sum of the three reaction rates. The pyrolysis in a batch reactor at 700 °C and nitrogen flow of 60 ml/min produces 72 wt.% of oil, 13.5 wt.% of gas and 12.5 wt.% of char. The kinetic parameters of the first peak do not vary with heating rate, while those of the second and the third peak increase and decrease, respectively, with an increasing heating rate, proving the existence of complex reaction mechanisms for both cases.     

熔盐热裂解大豆油的特性研究

以大豆油为原料,在ZnCl₂-KCl熔融盐体系中考察了进料速量、载气流量、反应温度及进料量对其热裂解的影响。采用气相色谱-质谱联用仪(GC-MS)表征生物油组成。结果表明,进料速量和载气流量主要通过改变大豆油的反应停留时间影响裂解效果。当进料速率为1.2 g/min及不通载气时,大豆油停留时间较长,裂解较充分;随着温度升高,生物油得率增大,含氧化合物含量及酸值上升;随着进料量增大,生物油得率稳定在70%左右,但脱羧效果有所下降。经过催化加氢,生物油性质得到了明显的改善,组分分布与0^#柴油分布大体相似。     

油浆高温快速裂解过程的气固相产物研究

采用高频炉快速热解装置研究油浆的高温快速热解特性,考察了热解温度、氮气流量对气固相产物的组成和产率的影响。温度是影响气相产物产率的关键因素,气相产物主要为甲烷、氢气和乙烯,升高温度可提高甲烷和氢气的产率,而乙烯产率受高温下二次反应的影响在800℃到达最大值后逐渐降低,乙烷、丙烯产率较小且受二次反应的影响在700℃到达最大值后逐渐降低,温度高于800℃时会有少量乙炔生成且升温可提高乙炔产率。增加氮气流量可降低甲烷、氢气分压,缩短乙烯、丙烯等在高温区的停留时间,从而增加气相产物的产率。积炭产率随热解温度升高迅速增加,氮气流量的增加能够削弱二次反应从而降低积炭产率。

Study of cellulose pyrolysis using an in situ visualization technique and thermogravimetric analyzer

A technique has been developed to study cellulose pyrolysis by in situ visualization of cellulose transformation in a quartz capillary under a microscope using a CCD camera monitoring system and Raman spectroscopy. The processes and temperature of cellulose transformation during pyrolysis reaction can be observed directly. In situ visualization of reaction revealed that how oil is generated and expulsed concurrently from cellulose during pyrolysis. The in situ visualization result is the first direct evidence to show cellulose pyrolysis transformation. Pyrolysis characteristics were investigated under a highly purified N₂ atmosphere using a thermogravimetric analyzer from room temperature to 500 °C at the heating rate of 5 °C/min. The results showed that three stages appeared in this thermal degradation process. Kinetic parameters in terms of apparent activation energy and pre-exponential factor were determined.     

Kinetic study of decomposition of wheat distiller grains and steam gasification of the corresponding pyrolysis char

Thermal characteristics of wheat distiller grains (WDGs) and steam gasification kinetics of the corresponding pyrolysis char were studied by thermogravimetric analysis. The pyrolysis process of WDGs can be divided into three stages including the drying, devolatilization, and carbonation. The heating rate and final temperature are the most important factors influencing the WDGs decomposition. The ultimate mass loss increases with increasing final temperature while the mass loss rate and the characteristic temperature for the maximum reaction rate increase with the increasing heating rate. For the pyrolysis of WDGs, the average activation energy was calculated as 77.45 kJ mol⁻¹ by Coats–Refern method. While for the steam gasification of the pyrolysis char, the shrinking-core model fits the gasification behavior better than the volumetric reaction one and the activation energy, and the pre-exponential factor were calculated to be 199.19 kJ mol⁻¹ and 7.21 × 10⁶ s⁻¹, respectively, with the former model.

马瑞原油在空气和氮气中的热解-氧化性能

低温氧化是注空气采油及原位燃烧采油技术中的重要化学反应,为深入认识原油在有氧环境下复杂热反应过程中的低温氧化特性,我们采用热重/差热分析法(TG/DTA)研究了线性升温和等温条件下马瑞(Merey)原油的热反应行为。 结果表明,Merey原油在空气及线性升温条件下的受热过程分4个阶段:气化段、低温氧化段、热解段和高温氧化段;相邻阶段的物理、化学主导过程的重叠增加了分析原油热反应特征的难度。 升温速率提高,气化段和低温氧化段的终止温度不变;热解段和高温氧化段的终止温度以及热解段的峰温随升温速率的增加而升高。 N₂气与空气下Merey原油的热重/微分热重(TG/DTG)数据对比表明,升温速率越高,空气下的高温氧化段与热解段重叠程度越大,这有利于燃烧但会降低原油采收率。 空气下等温时的TG/DTA结果表明随升温速率增加,升温至300 ℃时的失重率降低,不利于原油轻组分的气化。 反应温度越高,气化过程时间越长,失重分数越大。 Merey原油在低于300℃时低温氧化反应不是主导反应。     

热解压力对生物质焦结构及气化反应性能的影响

利用加压固定床反应器、吸附仪、X射线衍射仪、元素分析仪、电感耦合等离子原子发射光谱仪等考察了热解压力对生物质半焦(以下简称半焦)产率、物化结构、元素组成的影响规律。同时,利用热天平对不同热解压力下所制半焦的气化行为进行了考察。结果表明,随热解压力升高,半焦产率增大,当压力升至1.0 MPa后,半焦产率基本不变;半焦中C元素含量随热解压力的升高而增加,而H元素含量和BET比表面积则减小;此外,随热解压力升高,玉米秸秆焦和锯末焦的石墨化程度增强,而稻壳焦的石墨化程度则基本不受热解压力影响。气化反应的研究表明,玉米秸秆焦及锯末焦的平均气化反应速率随热解压力的提高而减小,而稻壳焦的平均气化反应速率基本不受热解压力的影响。热解压力对半焦BET比表面积及碳微晶结构的影响规律与气化反应速率变化规律的对比研究表明,热解压力引起半焦微晶结构的变化是造成热解压力对半焦气化反应速率影响的主要原因。     

Pyrolysis reaction of carpronium chloride and its structurally related compounds. 1—electronic and steric effects on the orientation of the pyrolysis reaction

The pyrolysis reaction of carpronium chloride and its structurally related compounds, which were trimethyl-aminoalkyl acid alkyl esters involving two, three or four skeletal methylene groups, have been investigated by pyrolysis gas chromatography mass spectrometry. The results indicated that the reaction modes of these ammonium compounds were essentially dependent on the number of skeletal methylene groups, and secondarily on the length of the carbon chain of the ester group. These phenomena have been interpreted in terms of electronic and steric contributions for the ionic elimination reaction. The electronic and steric effects on the orientation of the reaction are discussed on the basis of the atomic population calculated by the CNDO/2 method.     

Crystallization Behavior and Properties of B-Doped ZnO Thin Films Prepared by Sol-Gel Method with Di erent Pyrolysis Temperatures

Boron-doped zinc oxide transparent (BZO) films were prepared by sol-gel method. The effect of pyrolysis temperature on the crystallization behavior and properties was systematically investigated. XRD patterns revealed that the BZO films had wurtzite structure with a preferential growth orientation along the c-axis. With the increase of pyrolysis temperature, the particle size and surface roughness of the BZO films increased, suggesting that pyrolysis temperature is the critical factor for determining the crystallization behavior of the BZO films. Moreover, the carrier concentration and the carrier mobility increased with increasing the pyrolysis temperature, and the mean transmittance for every film is over 90% in the visible range.     

煤焦吸附和还原NO的动力学研究

利用固定床反应器研究了煤焦吸附和还原NO的动力学,分析了热解温度(500℃～900℃)和矿物质对煤焦脱除NO的影响。结果表明,在程序升温反应(TPR)和等温反应中,随着温度的升高(30℃～600℃),煤焦-NO经历了从化学吸附到还原反应的转变。低温时煤焦脱除NO的动力学符合Elovich方程,原煤焦的起始吸附速率随着温度的升高而增大,脱灰煤焦的起始吸附速率先增大后减小,等温吸附过程中煤焦的活化能随着吸附量的增大而增大。随着热解温度的升高,TPR中煤焦的NO转化率降低,等温还原反应的速率常数减小,高温热解导致煤焦脱除NO的活性降低。矿物质对煤焦-NO的吸附和还原反应存在催化作用。     

稻秆半焦与CO2气化反应特性的研究

利用三种热解炉装置,分别在热解终温550℃～950℃、加热速率0.1K/s～500K/s下热解制取稻秆半焦。采用等温热重法,在STA409综合热分析仪上进行了稻秆半焦与CO₂的气化实验,考察了热解终温、热解速率以及气化温度对半焦气化反应性的影响。研究表明,热解条件对稻秆半焦的反应性影响很大。在热解终温为550℃～950℃时,随着热解温度的提高,其气化反应性呈下降趋势;热解速率越高,其气化反应性越好。在850℃～950℃,提高气化温度能提高稻秆半焦与CO₂的反应性。采用扫描电镜技术观测了0.1K/s和500K/s 两种热解速率下半焦的表面形貌。结果显示,后者具有更加丰富的孔隙结构,且大孔结构明显多于前者。采用混合反应模型描述了稻秆半焦与CO₂的气化反应过程,求取了反应动力学参数。     

升温速率对胜利褐煤热解过程中N迁移转化的影响

在固定床/流化床管式石英反应器中进行了胜利褐煤的快速热解和慢速热解实验,考察了升温速率对N迁移转化及对半焦内部N化学形态变化的影响。研究结果表明,快速升温热解气相N(NH₃和HCN)生成量明显高于慢速热解时的生成量,且随着温度的升高,两者差值均逐渐增大。在多数情况下,NH₃或HCN的产率在973 K左右并不随温度的升高而增加,这与高温下的半焦热缩聚反应以及挥发分的二次反应有关。快速热解条件下,半焦N的释放速率要快于半焦炭本身失重速率。X射线光电子能谱(XPS)分析认为,热解使得吡咯型N(N-5)部分转化为吡啶型N(N-6)和季氮型N(N-Q),快速热解有利于生成N-6,而慢速热解下半焦中N-Q含量较高。
