High temperature pyrolysis of novolac resin biomass composites

Composites of novolac resin (N.R.) and biomass derived from olive stones (OL.B.), in various proportions, were cured with hexamethylenetetramine (HTA) and pyrolyzed up to 900°C. The pyrolysis mechanism was monitored using TGA and gas chromatography. The pyrolysis regions, as well as important pyrolysis parameters of the materials used, were determined. Cured and pyrolyzed composites of N.R./OL.B. varied from 20/80 to 75/25, exhibiting at temperatures up to approx. 600°C lower weight losses than expected by the rule of mixtures, owing to additional cross linkages of lignin with HTA. This stabilization effect vanished during pyrolysis at higher temperatures because of the breaking of other chemical bonds, e.g. cross linkages. The release of CH₄ during the pyrolysis of OL.B. is derived from the lignin contained in OL.B. The other gases, CO, CO₂ and H₂, could be formed from celluose, hemicellulose and lignin which are the main components of OL.B. The use of N.R. in the initial mixture with OL.B. reduces the weight losses during pyrolysis compared with OL.B. alone. A heating rate of 10°C/min was necessary for the carbonization processes of OL.B. and its mixtures with N.R. in order to promote minimum weight loss of material and minimum pyrolysis time.     

Pattern Search Method for Determination of DAEM Kinetic Parameters from Nonisothermal TGA Data of Biomass

The most accurate and up-to-date approach to modeling biomass pyrolysis is to adopt the distributed activation energy model (DAEM). In this study, a pattern search method to be used for the determination of DAEM kinetic parameters from the nonisothermal thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) data of biomass has been introduced. The method has been applied to the nonisothermal TGA data of peanut shell sample, and DAEM kinetic parameters of biomass samples have been determined. Calculated model results from determined kinetic parameters have been compared with nonisothermal TGA data of biomass.     

Thermogravimetry/mass spectrometry analysis of energy crops

The aim of this work was to study the thermal decomposition of different plant species obtained from energy plantations. Thermogravimetry/ mass spectrometry (TG/MS) experiments have been performed with two herbaceous crops (Miscanthus sinensis, pelletized energy grass) and two wood samples (willow, water locust) in inert and oxidative atmospheres. Owing to the large number of data obtained in the experiments, a chemometric tool, principal component analysis (PCA) has been used to help the interpretation of the results. It has been found that the thermal decomposition of the studied wood species is similar, whereas that of the studied herbaceous samples exhibits significant differences. PCA has been found to be useful for finding correlations between the various experimental data.     

生物质热解、加氢热解及其与煤共热解的热重研究

在加压热天平上用非等温热重法进行生物质（锯末、稻壳）在Ｎ２气氛下的热解和加氢热解研究。考察了升温速率（５～２５℃／ｍｉｎ）和压力（０．１～７ＭＰａ）的影响，求取了热解动力学参数，并研究了生物质与煤在常压Ｎ２气下的共热解过程。研究结果表明：生物质在４００℃左右即完成热解反应，总失重率大于７０％（Ｗ％，ｄａｆ．），热解时仅一个峰位于３００℃左右；与煤热解行为相同，随升温速率及压力的升高，转化率下降，ＤＴＧ峰移向高温，但由于热解反应在较低温度下进行，氧气的存在对生物质热解ＴＧ和ＤＴＧ的影响远小于煤热解。证明生物质热解以其内部氢对自由基的饱和及分子重排反应为主。生物质热解可用一级反应动力学处理，主要热解阶段及表现活化能分别为：锯末，２６７～３１４℃，６９．６６ｋＪ／ｍｏｌ；稻壳，２８３～３１０℃，５３．４５ｋＪ／ｍｏｌ；生物质由于与煤的热分解温度相差很大，因而在其共热解过程中无协同作用。     

Pretreatment of bagasse by UCT-Solvent for the enzymatic hydrolysis

A thermochemical pretreatment of bagasse for the enzymatic hydrolysis has been carried out, in which pretreatment bagasse was autoclaved with binary solvent, composed of Water and organic solvent having upper critical temperature (UCT) on the mutual solubility curve. The pretreatment was named “UCT-solvent pretreatment.” The hydrophobic decomposition products from lignin and hemicellulose, that dissolved in organic phase at room temperature, could be easily separated from the solid and sugars in the aqueous phase. By using UCT-solvent instead of only water, the sugar recoveries from bagasse through the pretreatment and the enzymatic hydrolysis were much improved. There exists an optimal mixing ratio between organic solvent and water to maximize the effect of the pretreatment for enzymatic hydrolysis. The optimal ratio can be explained by the competitive effect between the ability of water as a reagent for the hydrolysis and the ability of solvent for the extraction of the decomposition product, and furthermore by the competitive effect between affinities of the solvent to hydrophilic hemicellulose and hydrophobic lignin. Decomposition of hemicellulose at lower temperature than 190°C was decreased, and hence the degradation of xylose during the pretreatment decreased. These favorable effects of UCT-solvent pretreatment are significantly attributed to the formation of the homogeneous single phase of organic solvent and water at high temperature and the phase separation at room temperature.
