主 题:Biomass combustion torrefaction particulate matter
摘 要:Typical biomass torrefaction is a mild pyrolysis process under conditions of ordinary pressure,low temperature(200–300°C)and inert *** is considered to be a competitive technology for biomass pretreatment,but its impacts on the emissions of particulate matter from biomass combustion are worthy of further *** this paper,three kinds of biomass,i.e.,bagasse,wheat straw and sawdust were selected for torrefaction pretreatment and the impacts of torrefaction on the emission characteristics of PM_(10) from biomass combustion were *** combustion experiments were carried out on a drop tube *** combustion-generated particulate and bulk ash samples were collected and subjected to analyses by various *** results show that torrefaction tends to result in a reduction of PM_(1)(particulates with an aerodynamic diameter less than 1μm)emissions from combustion,but the extent of reduction is dependent on biomass *** reduction of PM_(1) from the combustion of torrefied biomass is mainly because that the torrefaction process removes some Cl and S from the biomass,thereby suppressing the release of alkali metals and the emissions of PM_(1) during the combustion *** for PM_(1–10)(particulates with an aerodynamic diameter within 1–10μm),its emissions from combustion of torrefied biomasses are consistently reduced,compared with their untreated *** observation is primarily accounted for the enhanced particle coalescence/agglomeration in combustion of torrefied biomasses,which reduces the emissions of PM_(1–10).
