High-temperature gasification kinetics of biomass pyrolysis

The rate of gas formation from wood pyrolysis has been experimentally measured at temperatures from 300°C to 1000°C. The formation rate of specific product gases has been measured rather than the rate of solid weight loss. Even for very fine particles, the rate becomes heat transfer limited a: high temperatures. The product gases also approach thermodynamic equilibrium rapidly at high temperatures. The results are corrected using the experimental residence time distribution.     

Particle size limitations due to heat transfer in determining pyrolysis kinetics of biomass

A simplified heat transfer model is analyzed in order to determine an upper bound for biomass particle size in conducting experimental pyrolysis kinetics. In determining intrinsic kinetic rates, it is desirable that the entire particle be at reactor temperature for the duration of the chemical reaction. By comparing characteristic times for reaction rates versus heat-up rates, an approximate boundary for particle size can be constructed as a function of temperature; above this boundary, the reaction rate is strongly heat transfer dominated, and below the boundary the reaction rate is kinetically controlled. Using parameters for cellulose pyrolysis, it is estimated that a 200 μm particle will be heat transfer limited due to internal heat transfer at temperatures above 500°C. This boundary applies for conditions where the surface of the particle is brought to reactor temperature instantaneously. Using our specific experimental conditions, it is found that the limitations imposed by external transfer are reached before those predicted by assuming that only internal heat transfer is limiting. In examining wood pyrolysis, where a global reaction rate approximation is insufficient, it is experimentally shown that the decomposition for hemicellulose can be transport limited, while cellulose remains in the kinetic controlled regime.     

Energy potential and thermogravimetric study of pyrolysis kinetics of biomass wastes

The use of agricultural wastes for energy conversion has been widely studied as renewable and carbon neutral energy sources. This paper aims to evaluate the energetic potential of six agricultural wastes—sugarcane bagasse, bean pods, corn stover, pineapple crown leaves, white cotton and natural coloured cotton stalks, through their characterization and pyrolysis kinetic study. The energetic potential of biomasses was evaluated by ultimate and proximate analysis, higher heating value (HHV), apparent density, and kinetic parameters of conversion and apparent activation energy (E_a) determined by Model-Free kinetics though thermogravimetric analysis data. The results indicate energetic density for dry basis biomasses, such as moisture content less than 7%, volatiles higher than 77% and moderate ash content. The HHVs were higher for the biomass with low O:C ratio. The E_a values increased with increasing O:C ratio and were also influenced by the biomass ash content. Among the studied biomasses, PCL are less explored for energy application, although the results confirm its potential for application in thermochemical processes such as pyrolysis or combustion.

Effect of the ion-exchange-membrane/solution interfacial characteristics on the mass transfer at severe current regimes

In the electrodialysis of dilute solutions, performed at intense current regimes, the membrane electrical conductance and diffusion permeability are no more crucial. Of more importance become the membrane properties that control increase in the overlimiting mass transfer of salt ions, as well as H⁺ and OH^? ions in membrane systems. In this work different methods of the improving of mass-exchange characteristics of commercial ion-exchange membranes intended for operation at intense current regimes are discussed. They are based on modern concepts of mechanisms of the electroconvection (which proceeds as electroosmosis of 2nd kind), as well as mechanisms of H⁺ and OH^? ions generation at the membrane/solution interface. Influence on the membrane electrochemical and mass-exchange characteristics is possible via (a) control of chemical nature of fixed groups at membrane surfaces, in order to weaken their catalytic activity with respect to water dissociation reaction, (b) increase in the surface hydrophobicity, and (c) design of electrical inhomogeneity of the membrane/solution interface; the purpose is the facilitating of intense development of electrical convection.

Heat and mass transfer in membrane distillation

Equations for heat and mass transfer in membrane distillation (MD) have been developed and tested experimentally. The concept of temperature polarisation is introduced and shown to be important in the interpretation of experimental results. Vapour transport through the membranes tested is reasonably described by combined Knudsen and molecular diffusion. The significance of temperature polarisation in the design and operation of large-scale MD modules is discussed, and hollow fibre and tubular systems shown to be potentially the most effective.     

The effects of sample preparation,pyrolysis and pyrolyzate transfer conditions on pyrolysis mass spectra

Two different biopolymers, bovine serum albumin and glycogen, were examined by pyrolysis-mass spectrometry under various experimental conditions. The parameters tested include the method of cleaning the pyrolysis wire, the choice of the sample solvent, the sample size, the temperature-time profile and the temperature of the mass spectrometric inlet system.In order to determine quantitatively the effects of changes in experimental conditions on reproducibility of the spectra, the differences observed between the pyrolysis mass spectra represented as numerical dissimilarity values.It is concluded that the long-term differences observed are only partly explained by fluctuations in the conditions studied. However, it appears feasible to define a set of standard conditions with respect to the production of the pyrolyzate which should afford a reasonable degree of interlaboratory reproducibility.     

Heat and mass transfer in a solar regenerator

Chemical dehumidification of air in an important industrial process. Solar energy can be used effectively in such processes for regenerating the absorbent solution. An analytical study of a gas-phase controlled solar regenerator in which the absorbent solution flows as a thin film and air flows cocurrent to it has been made. The governing equations which admit similar solutions for air streams have been solved, the independent parameter being the ratio of liquid to air velocities. The profiles of velocity, temperature and concentration, as well as their gradients, are presented. The normal convective velocity of water evaporating from the moving absorbent liquid surface is always present and has been taken into consideration in the present analysis. As the solution velocity increases, the mass transfer coefficient increases for a given air velocity. The results have been compared with those already reported for cases in which the resistance to mass transfer stems from the liquid phase as well. The analysis also includes the effect of free convection, an effect which is present in solar devices which use relatively low stream velocities, such as those encountered in practical solar regenerators.     

Study of the mass transfer kinetics in a monolithic column

The purpose of this work is to investigate the mass transfer kinetics of butylbenzoate on a monolithic RPLC column, with methanol-water (65:35, v/v) as the mobile phase. We used the perturbation method, measuring the height equivalent to a theoretical plate (HETP) of the peaks obtained as the response to small pulses of solute injected on a concentration plateau. The equilibrium isotherm of butylbenzoate was previously determined by frontal analysis. It is well accounted for by a liquid-solid extended multilayer BET isotherm model. The equilibrium data derived from the pulse method are in excellent agreement with those of frontal analysis in the accessible concentration range of 0 to 8 g/dm3. Plots of the HETP of small pulses. injected on eight different plateau concentrations, were acquired in a wide range of mobile phase flow velocities. The axial dispersion and the mass transfer kinetic coefficients were derived from these data. The validity of these measurements is discussed. The mass kinetics of butylbenzoate depends strongly on the plateau concentration. Processes involving adsorptive interactions between the solute and the stationary phase, e.g. surface diffusion and adsorption-desorption kinetics, combine in series to the external mass transfer kinetics and to effective pore diffusivity.     

Electron transfer kinetics at polarized nanoscopic liquid/liquid interfaces

Rapid kinetics of electron transfer (ET) reactions across the interface between water and 1,2-dichloroethane were measured by steady-state voltammetry at nanopipet electrodes (50- to 400-nm orifice radius). The origins of previously reported imperfect voltammetric responses of ET reactions at micropipets were investigated. Several new experimental systems were explored, and two of them yielded high-quality voltammograms suitable for kinetic experiments. The determined standard rate constants were compared to those measured previously at polarized and nonpolarized liquid/liquid interfaces. The effect of the interfacial dimensions on the magnitude of the apparent ET rate constant is discussed. A new approach to ET kinetic measurements based on the use of the scanning electrochemical microscope with a nanopipet tip and a metallic substrate has been developed and employed to check the validity of determined kinetic parameters.     

Study of the mechanism of polysulfone decomposition by pyrolysis/gas chromatography and pyrolysis/gas chromatography/mass spectrometry

Both co- and terpolysulfones have been flash-pyrolyzed at high temperature followed by separation and identification of the products by gas chromatography and/or gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. As expected, most of the products were the corresponding olefin and SO₂. Additionally, higher molecular weight products, including aromatics, and olefin isomerization products, were produced. Mechanisms for initiation and formation of the higher molecular weight products are presented which include the back reaction of intermediate free radicals to abstract hydrogen or to form C? C bonds followed by expulsion of SO₂. The free-radical intermediates formed by the SO₂ expulsion undergo transformations to give the aromatic products. No breakdown products were found with either O or S present, nor was SO₂H found.     

New approximations of the temperature integral for nonisothermal kinetics

The accuracy and scope of application of previously reported approximations of the temperature integral were evaluated. The exact solution was obtained independently by solving the temperature integral numerically be Simpson's rule, the trapezoidal rule and the Gaussian rule. Two new approximations have been proposed: $$\begin{gathered} P(X) = e^{ - x} (1/X^2 )(1 - 2/X)/(1 - 5.2/X^2 ) \hfill \\ P(X) = e^{ - x} (1/X^2 )(1 - 2/X)/(1 - 4.6/X^2 ) \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$ whereX=E/RT. The first equation gives higher accuracy, with a deviation of less than 1% and 0.1% from the exact solution forX≥7 andX≥10, respectively. The second equation has a wider scope of application, with a deviation of less than 1% forX≥4 and of less than 0.1% forX≥35.
