Release of chlorine during combustion of raw biomass in boilers is detrimental as it contributes to slagging, fouling, and corrosion. Combustion of torrefied biomass can alleviate such issues, as it contains less chlorine than its raw biomass precursor. This work assessed the effect of the furnace temperature on the chlorine content of generated torrefied biomass and the released gaseous species during the torrefaction process (a mild pyrolysis). The selected biomass was corn straw, which was torrefied at furnace temperatures in the range of 250-400 degrees C under atmospheric pressure in an inert nitrogen flow. Upon torrrefaction, corn straw lost 32-50% of its original mass to the gas phase, accompanied by more than half of its original mass of chlorine in nearly all cases. The major chlorinated species in the evolving pyrolysis gas (torgas) were identified as CH3Cl and HCI. The former was more prevalent at the lower temperatures (<350 degrees C), whereas the latter dominated at the highest temperature (400 degrees C). Finally, emissions of other released gases, such as CO, CO2, C2H6, NOx, HCN, and NH3, were also monitored and reported herein.
