To evaluate the possibilities for biofuel and bioenergy production , which is an invasive plant available in Brunei Darussalam, was investigated. Proximate analysis of shows that the moisture content, volatile matters, fixed carbon, and ash contents were 9.56%, 65.12%, 21.21%, and 3.91%, respectively. Ultimate analysis shows carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen as 44.03%, 5.67%, and 0.25%, respectively. The thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) results have shown that maximum weight loss occurred for this biomass at 357 °C for pyrolysis and 287 °C for combustion conditions. Low moisture content (<10%), high hydrogen content, and higher heating value (about 18.13 MJ/kg) makes this species a potential biomass. The production of bio-char, bio-oil, and biogas from was found 34.45%, 32.56%, 33.09% for 500 °C with a heating rate 5 °C/min and 25.81%, 37.61%, 36.58% with a heating rate 10 °C/min, respectively, in this research. From Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy it was shown that a strong C-H, C-O, and C=C bond exists in the bio-char of the sample.
为评估文莱达鲁萨兰国一种入侵植物用于生物燃料和生物能源生产的可能性,对其进行了调查。近似分析表明,该植物的水分含量、挥发物、固定碳和灰分含量分别为9.56%、65.12%、21.21%和3.91%。元素分析表明,碳、氢和氮的含量分别为44.03%、5.67%和0.25%。热重分析(TGA)结果表明,该生物质在357℃热解和287℃燃烧条件下失重最大。低水分含量(<10%)、高氢含量和较高的热值(约18.13 MJ/kg)使该物种成为一种潜在的生物质。在本研究中,该植物在500℃、升温速率5℃/min时生物炭、生物油和沼气的产量分别为34.45%、32.56%、33.09%,升温速率10℃/min时分别为25.81%、37.61%、36.58%。傅里叶变换红外(FTIR)光谱表明,样品生物炭中存在较强的C-H、C-O和C=C键。
