Pyrolysis/gasification have proved to be promising conversion techniques to convert biomass into fuels. The current research work focuses on impregnation of Ru and Fe into banana pseudo-stem to study kinetics, pyrolytic behaviour and their impact during pyrolysis through thermogravimetric analyser (TGA). Samples weight loss were analyzed by TGA at four different heating rates (5-20 °C min) over the temperature range of 30-900 °C. Isoconversional models such as Flynn-Wall-Ozawa (FWO), Kissinger-Akahira-Sinose (KAS), and Kissinger's methods were employed to calculate the activation energy and pre-exponential factor for Ru-impregnated (FWO: E = 73.32 kJ mol, KAS: E = 68.23 kJ mol and Kissinger's: E = 165.94 kJ mol) Fe-impregnated biomass (FWO: E = 86.78 kJ mol, KAS: E = 82.34 kJ mol and Kissinger's: E = 192.37 kJ mol) and compared with raw biomass (FWO: E = 116.22 kJ mol, KAS: E = 113.39 kJ mol and Kissinger's: E = 194.86 kJ mol). Lower activation energy and reduced weight loss were observed for metal impregnated biomass over the raw biomass.
热解/气化已被证明是一种很有前途的转化技术,可以将生物质转化为燃料。目前的研究工作集中在将 Ru 和 Fe 浸渍到香蕉假茎中,通过热重分析仪(TGA)研究动力学、热解行为及其在热解过程中的影响。在 30-900°C 的温度范围内,通过 TGA 在四个不同的加热速率(5-20°C/min)下分析样品的失重。采用 Flynn-Wall-Ozawa(FWO)、Kissinger-Akahira-Sinose(KAS)和 Kissinger 等等转化率模型来计算 Ru 浸渍(FWO:E=73.32 kJ/mol,KAS:E=68.23 kJ/mol 和 Kissinger 的:E=165.94 kJ/mol)Fe 浸渍生物质(FWO:E=86.78 kJ/mol,KAS:E=82.34 kJ/mol 和 Kissinger 的:E=192.37 kJ/mol)和原始生物质(FWO:E=116.22 kJ/mol,KAS:E=113.39 kJ/mol 和 Kissinger 的:E=194.86 kJ/mol)的活化能和指前因子,并进行了比较。与原始生物质相比,金属浸渍生物质的活化能较低,失重减少。
