利用傅里叶变换红外光谱仪(FT-IR)、扫描电子显微镜(SEM)和X射线衍射仪(XRD)研究了炭化程度对核桃壳焦孔隙及微晶结构的影响,并使用热重-差示扫描量热仪(TG-DSC)对核桃壳焦及其原料的燃烧特性进行了分析。结果表明,合适的炭化程度(焦炭挥发分含量为6%-15%)使焦炭内乱层石墨变得无序,碳质微晶结构中缺陷增多,导致焦炭内孔隙结构相对发达;热解温度为500℃时,核桃壳焦的比表面积最大,为374.60 m~2/g;热解温度为600℃时,核桃壳焦的燃烧特性最优,其燃烧特性指数为7.16×10~6;合适的炭化程度可使焦炭内的挥发分含量减少,从而使得核桃壳焦的高位热值升高,且由于相对发达的孔隙使焦炭在燃烧时与空气的接触面积增大,导致焦炭的燃烧速率加快。     

稻壳生物油的燃烧及污染物排放特性研究

对稻壳生物油在空气气氛下进行了热重分析,并计算得到生物油的挥发、降解和残炭燃烧的活化能分别为63.11kJ/mol、81.01kJ/mol和161.29kJ/mol。在自砌的小型工业窑炉上开展了生物油燃烧实验,研究了生物油的点火工艺和燃烧污染物的排放规律。通过调整喷雾速度和喷嘴结构,在炉膛预热并使用明火点火源的情况下,生物油可以顺利点火。生物油燃烧容易生成CO,提高过量空气系数能有效地控制CO的生成,但同时会生成更多的NOx。在生物油中添加甲醇和乙醇助剂后,点火容易,燃烧温度提高,尾气中CO和NOx含量都一定程度的下降。

生物质和废塑料混合热解协同特性研究

选取聚丙烯(PP)和竹屑作为废塑料与生物质的典型代表,在热重分析仪和固定床台架上研究了塑料掺混比例对混合热解失重特性、动力学机理、产物分布行为等特性的影响,并分析了混合热解时生物质和废塑料间的协同作用机制。结果表明,随着塑料掺混比例的增加,混合热解终止温度由501℃降低至471℃,主要热解温度区间缩短;混合热解所需活化能呈现先减小后增大的趋势,在塑料掺混比例为0.25时取得最小值。通过对比实验数据和理论数据发现,生物质与废塑料混合热解具有很强的协同作用:该协同作用降低了生物质反应所需能量,增加了废塑料反应所需能量,降低了混合热解过程的总活化能;此外,协同作用促进大分子挥发分转化为小分子气体,促进芳烃、烷烃等烃类生成,抑制CO_2、苯酚、羧酸、呋喃和酮类等含氧物质生成。

Comparison between the “one-step” and “two-step” catalytic pyrolysis of pine bark

In this study, one-step and two-step pyrolysis systems were compared in the pyrolysis of pine bark. One-step pyrolysis was performed in a fixed bed reactor with and without catalyst. Two-step pyrolysis was carried out in a dual reactor system over catalyst; the first reactor containing no catalyst whereas the second reactor containing catalyst to upgrade the thermally cracked products. The catalysts used in the pyrolysis systems were ReUS-Y, red mud and ZSM-5. In thermal pyrolysis, the pyrolysis system mainly affected the relative amount of bio-oil. The bio-oil yields obtained from two-step thermal pyrolysis were higher than the yields from one-step thermal pyrolysis. In the catalytic runs, ReUS-Y catalyst slightly decreased the char formation with a consequent increase in aqueous phase yield in the case of one-step pyrolysis. However, the catalysts decreased the bio-oil yield with a consequent increase in the gas yield in the case of two-step pyrolysis. The general compositions of bio-oils obtained from both two pyrolysis systems were affected by using catalysts. In the case of one-step pyrolysis, the formation of water and water soluble compounds were reduced by using ReUS-Y catalyst. In the case of two-step pyrolysis, both ZSM-5 and red mud increased the formation of water soluble compounds while they decreased water formation. In contrast, ReUS-Y decreased the formation of water soluble compounds and increased the amount of pyrolytic lignin compounds in bio-oil. Fuel characteristics of pyrolysis products (gas, bio-oil and char) for both two pyrolysis systems were also investigated comparatively.     

二苯乙烯对秸秆纤维素超临界乙醇裂解转化液化产物的影响

以1,1-二苯乙烯(DPE)为阻聚剂,采用高压反应釜对玉米秸秆纤维素进行超临界乙醇液化,探究DPE浓度(用量)和反应温度对纤维素裂解碎片转化成液化产物的影响。结果表明,DPE浓度增加,挥发分收率降低了25.4%,生物油收率增加了19.9%,收率最高达39.8%,纤维素转化率有所下降;反应温度升高,纤维素转化率迅速增加到85.5%,挥发分也急剧升高,生物油收率最高为34.6%。GC-MS结果显示,生物油主要包括酮类、酯类、烃类等平台化合物以及较多的联苯化合物。DPE浓度过高,结合大量的纤维素裂解片段(乙基、羟基、甲基、氢等)形成联苯类化合物产生较强的空间位阻效应,使得纤维素裂解及活性片段转化成平台化合物的反应受到抑制,两者之间是一个竞争过程;温度升高,乙醇自由基活性增强,其对纤维素裂解的促进作用逐渐超过DPE对纤维素裂解的抑制作用,平台化合物收率有所升高。     

The effects of temperature on product yields and composition of bio-oils in hydropyrolysis of rice husk using nickel-loaded brown coal char catalyst

Hydropyrolysis of rice husk was performed using nickel-loaded Loy Yang brown coal char (Ni/LY) catalyst in a fluidized bed reactor at 500, 550, 600 and 650 °C with an aim to study the influence of catalyst and catalytic hydropyrolysis temperature on product yields and the composition of bio-oil. An inexpensive Ni/LY char was prepared by the ion-exchange method with nickel loading rate of 9 ± 1 wt.%. Nickel particles which dispersed well in Loy Yang brown coal char showed a large specific surface area of Ni/LY char of 350 m²/g. The effects of catalytic activity and hydropyrolysis temperature of rice husk using Ni/LY char were examined at the optimal condition for bio-oil yield (i.e., pyrolysis temperature 500 °C, static bed height 5 cm, and gas flow rate 2 L/min without catalyst). In the presence of catalyst, the oxygen content of bio-oil decreased by about 16% compared with that of non-catalyst. Raising the temperature from 500 to 650 °C reduced the oxygen content of bio-oil from 27.50% to 21.50%. Bio-oil yields decreased while gas yields and water content increased with increasing temperature due to more oxygen being converted into H₂O, CO₂, and CO. The decreasing of the oxygen content contributed to a remarkable increase in the heating value of bio-oil. The characteristics of bio-oil were analyzed by Karl Fischer, GC/MS, GPC, FT-IR, and CHN elemental analysis. The result indicated that the hydropyrolysis of rice husk using Ni/LY char at high temperature can be used to improved the quality of bio-oil to level suitable for a potential liquid fuel and chemical feedstock.     

N-叔丁基-α-苯基硝酮对纤维素超临界乙醇液化产物分布的影响

以N-叔丁基-α-苯基硝酮(PBN)为自由基结合剂,采用间歇式高温高压反应釜对玉米秸秆纤维素进行超临界乙醇液化,考察PBN用量(浓度)和反应温度(活性)对纤维素液化产物及生物油中主要化合物分布的影响。结果表明,在320℃,仅有超临界乙醇作用,生物油收率为37.17%,挥发分收率高达50.08%;随着PBN用量增加到0.4 g,生物油收率最高提升至48.35%,挥发分最低下降到35.65%。在超临界乙醇和PBN作用下,随着反应温度从250℃升高至340℃,纤维素转化率从23.10%急剧增加至88.92%,生物油收率从19.18%上升到最高48.35%(320℃)后略有下降,挥发分也从6.03%急剧上升至50.28%。GC-M S结果显示,酯类、酮类、烃类、醇类、酸类及苯类化合物是生物油的主要成分,各组分的最高相对含量分别为27.91%、15.77%、13.44%、12.42%、16.07%、19.81%。实验结果证实了PBN对纤维素超临界乙醇液化产物及生物油组分分布产生了较明显的影响,尤其能通过与含苯基、乙基等活性碎片结合促进挥发分与生物油之间的转化,且PBN用量及液化温度的改变可以促使生物油中主要化合物发生不同程度的相互转化。     

Thermochemical and Toxic Element Behavior during Co-Combustion of Coal and Municipal Sludge

The thermochemical and kinetic behavior of co-combustion of coal, municipal sludge (MS) and their blends at different ratios were investigated by thermogravimetric analysis. Simulation experiments were performed in a vacuum tube furnace to determine the conversion behavior of toxic elements. The results show that the combustion processes of the blends of coal and municipal sludge are divided into three stages and the combustion curves of the blends are located between those of individual coal and municipal sludge samples. The DTG_max of the sample with 10% sludge addition reaches a maximum at the heating rate of 20 °C/min, indicating that the combustion characteristics of coal can be improved during co-combustion. Strong interactions were observed between coal and municipal sludge during the co-combustion. The volatilization rates of toxic elements decrease with an increasing proportion of sludge in the blends during co-combustion, which indicates that the co-combustion of coal and sludge can effectively reduce the volatilization rate of toxic elements. The study reflects the potential of municipal sludge as a blended fuel and the environmental effects of co-combustion of coal and municipal sludge.

Effects of compatibility of poly(l‐lactic‐acid) and thermoplastic polyurethane on mechanical property of blend fiber

Blending poly(l ‐lactic‐acid) (PLLA) and thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) has been performed in an effort to toughen PLLA without compromising its biodegradability and biocompatibility. The mixing enthalpy calculation of PLLA and TPU predicted that the blend was a thermodynamic miscible system. The viscoelastic properties and phase morphologies of PLLA/TPU blends were investigated further by dynamic mechanical analysis and scanning electron microscopy. It was found that the blend was a partially miscible system. The dynamic mechanical analysis showed that T_g of PLLA and TPU shifted toward with TPU content increasing. Scanning electron microscopy photos showed that the morphologies of the blends changed from a sea island structure to a bicontinuous structure as an increment in TPU content, which suggested that the miscibility of PLLA and TPU was enhanced when the TPU increased. PLLA/TPU blend fibers were fabricated. With the TPU content increasing from 0 wt% to 30 wt%, the tensile strength and initial modulus of blend fibers decreased first then increased, while elongation at break and fracture work gradually increased. The change of tensile properties indicated the toughening effects of TPU on PLLA fibers, also suggested that the formation of blend fibers was influenced by the blend rheological behavior other than the compatibility.

Thermal and crystallization characteristics of poly(trimethylene terephthalate)/poly(ethylene naphthalate) blends

Poly(trimethylene terephthalate) (PTT)/poly(ethylene naphthalate) (PEN) blends were miscible in the amorphous state in all of the blend compositions studied, as evidenced by a single, composition-dependent glass transition temperature (T_g) observed for each blend composition. The variation in the T_g value with the blend composition was well predicted by the Gordon-Taylor equation, with the fitting parameter being 0.57. The cold-crystallization peak temperature decreased with increasing PTT content, while the melt-crystallization peak temperature decreased with increasing amount of the minor component. The subsequent melting behavior after both cold- and melt-crystallization exhibited melting point depression, in which the observed melting temperatures decreased with increasing amount of the minor component. During melt-crystallization, both components in the blends crystallized concurrently just to form their own crystals. The blend with 60% w/w of PTT exhibited the lowest total apparent degree of crystallinity.
