Abstract:

The thermogravimetric analyzer and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (TG-FT-IR) were used to experimentally study rice straw, husks, different nitric acid washed samples and alkali metal ion impregnated samples, which analyzed the effect of external alkali metals impregnation on biomass pyrolysis characteristics. The pyrolysis TG/DTG curves and gas-generating components of the original sample, acidly washed sample and alkali metal solution impregnated sample were compared, it was found that the impregnation of alkali metal solution greatly increased the content of alkali metal elements in the sample and promoted the formation of active cellulose. Thus, the main weight loss interval of the pyrolysis of the sample was moved forward, and the maximum weight loss rate of pyrolysis was reduced; the pyrolysis yields of K+, Na+ impregnated rice stalks and rice hulls were increased by 5.3%, 7.89%, and 10.95%, 11.59%, the order of pyrolysis coke yields was sodium chloride immersion sample > potassium chloride immersion sample > original samples > acidly wased sample, and K+ pyrolysis catalytic ability was stronger than Na+; K+, Na+ immersion sample were good for biomass ring-opening reaction, promoted the decarboxylation and decarbonylation reactions, and increased the production of CO2, CO, and hydroxyketones.

Key words: biomass, alkali metal, acidly washing, impregnation, pyrolysis characteristics
