Interaction between Coal and Biomass during Co-Gasification: A Perspective Based on the Separation of Blended Char

Xiaoming Li et al.

Summary: Co-gasification of coal and biomass is an important method for reducing fossil fuel consumption and utilizing biomass resources efficiently. The structural properties and gasification reactivity of coal char were studied after co-pyrolysis with two different types of biomass. The results showed that K and Mg from biomass easily evaporated and deposited on coal char, leading to an increase in AAEMs content. The inhibition effect on the graphitization degree of coal char increased with increasing blend ratio, and the catalytic activity of inorganic mineral played a more important role in predicting gasification reactivity.

Influence of active alkali and alkaline earth metals on physicochemical structures of co-pyrolysis-gasification coupling char

Penghua Qiu et al.

Summary: This paper investigates the influences of active alkali and alkaline earth metals (Ac-AAEMs) on the physicochemical properties of chars during co-pyrolysis-gasification coupling. The experimental results demonstrate that Ac-AAEMs, especially those in OCS, significantly promote the development of mesopores and catalyze the specific surface area of chars. Additionally, Ac-AAEMs contribute to the destruction of highly graphitized carbon structures and the formation of disordered amorphous carbon.

Effect of active alkali and alkaline earth metals on the reactivity of co-gasification char from coal and corn straws

Zixin Jiao et al.

Summary: This study evaluates the effect of active alkali and alkaline earth metals on the co-gasification process. The results show that active alkali and alkaline earth metals promote the increase of char content during pyrolysis, but catalyze the reaction of char, resulting in a reduction of char content during gasification.

Volatile-char interactions during biomass pyrolysis: Effect of char preparation temperature

Bin Li et al.

Summary: This study experimentally investigated the effect of char preparation temperature on the interactions between cellulose volatiles and acid-washed sawdust char, revealing that changes in biochar chemical structure caused by different preparation temperatures significantly impacted the final products of cellulose pyrolysis. Lower temperature chars exhibited higher reactivities, and volatile-char interactions altered the product distribution.

Study on Reactivity and Synergy Behavior of Cogasification between Biomass Char and Coal Char

Zixin Jiao et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the cogasification reactivity of Shenmu bituminous coal (SM) char and corn straw (CS) char in CO2 and found that increasing the blend ratio of CS and gasification temperature can weaken inhibition and enhance synergy. The addition of CS volatiles, especially potassium (K), can promote the cogasification reaction, with the promotion effect increasing with temperature. The comparison between CS-SM blend char and CS char volatiles-SM char showed different effects on gasification reactivity depending on the presence of alkali and alkaline earth metals.

Deactivation mechanism of coal char gasification reactivity induced by cow manure biomass volatile-coal char interactions

Meng Ma et al.

Summary: Volatile-char interactions affect the chemical structure and reactivity of coal char, with O-containing functional groups playing an important role in char reactivity. The decrease in gasification reactivity due to volatile-char interactions is attributed to the decrease in aromatic C-O and C=O, and the increase in graphite carbon structures.

Co-pyrolysis of swine manure and pinewood sawdust: Evidence of cross-interaction of the volatiles and profound impacts on product characteristics

Qingyin Li et al.

Summary: The study investigates the co-pyrolysis of swine manure and pinewood sawdust, revealing the significant impact of cross-interaction of volatiles on the evolution of pyrolysis products. The interaction effect favors bio-oil and biochar formation while diminishing gas production. The bio-oil from co-pyrolysis is lighter and inhibits the generation of nitrogenous species, while the biochar becomes oxygen-rich and gains enhanced thermal stability.
