Abstract:

Rice straws and cotton stalks were selected as raw materials. After torrefaction pretreatment, the fixed-bed combustion experiment and HSC Chemistry thermodynamic equilibrium calculations were conducted to obtain the release and migration characteristics of alkali metal K during the combustion of torrefied biomass. The results showed that there was a small amount of water-soluble K release and its conversion to ammonium acetate dissolved K during torrefaction, and its conversion and release capacity was positively correlated with Cl/K. The ash formation rate of torrefied biomass decreased with the increase of combustion temperature, while the release rate of K changed with the temperature on the contrary; K was released in the form of water-soluble K, ammonium acetate dissolved K and acid-soluble K,and its main release form was K chloride and KOH. In addition, water-soluble K and ammonium acetate dissolved K were mainly converted to char-K at 600℃, and mainly converted to K silicate at 700—900℃. As the temperature rose, its conversion volume continued to increase. Compared with the raw biomass, torrefied biomass had a higher ash formation rate; in addition, torrefaction promoted the conversion of ammonium acetate dissolved K to acid-soluble K or potassium silicate during the combustion of biomass, and at the same time inhibited the release of water-soluble K. Therefore, the release rate of K during the combustion of torrefied biomass was lower. The inhibition of K release during the combustion of biomass by torrefaction is positively correlated with the release rate of Cl during the torrefaction.

Key words: torrefied biomass, combustion, fixed bed, alkali metal K, chemical fractionation, thermodynamic equilibrium calculations

摘要:

选取稻秆和棉秆为原料,在烘焙预处理后,通过固定床燃烧实验结合HSC Chemistry热力学平衡计算,获得了烘焙生物质燃烧过程中碱金属K的析出和迁移规律。结果表明:烘焙过程中存在着少量水溶性K的释放及其向醋酸铵溶态K的转化,而其转化和释放能力与Cl/K呈正相关。烘焙生物质的成灰率随着燃烧温度的升高而下降,而K的释放率随温度的变化则相反,其主要释放形式为K的氯化物和KOH;此外,600℃时,水溶性K和醋酸铵溶态K主要转化为char-K,700~900℃时其主要转化为K的硅酸盐,随着温度的上升,其转化量不断增加。相比于原生生物质,烘焙生物质有更高的成灰率;此外,烘焙促进了生物质燃烧过程中醋酸铵溶态K向酸溶态或残渣态K转化,同时抑制了水溶性K的释放,这些使得烘焙生物质燃烧过程中K的释放率更低,而烘焙对生物质燃烧过程中K释放的抑制与烘焙过程中Cl的释放率呈正相关。
