Under the guidance of the "3060" strategic goal, energy-saving and carbon reduction actions have pene-trated into various industries, and municipal green biomass, as an important renewable carbon based ener-gy, can be used as an alternative fuel to achieve energy-saving and carbon reduction effects. The paper has selected the Platanus Orientalis L. leaves as the raw material to study effects of acid washing and torrefac-tion on the physi-cochemical properties of chemical compositions, torrefaction mass and energy yields, microstructure, as well as their pyrolysis characteristics. The acid washing and torrefaction results showed that, the contents of ash and sulfur in the sample reduced after the acid washing pretreatment, and the con-tents of carbon and hydrogen in the samples from the combined pretreatments of acid washing and torre-faction would increase with the temperature growing, but reduced oxygen content, and mass ratios of H/C and O/C. The combined pretreatments would destroy the crystallization zone of cellulose, and decrease crystallization coefficients of samples. The thermogravimetric analyzer was employed to study the effects of combined pretreatments of acid washing and torrefaction on the pyrolysis characteristics and kinetic mechanisms. It was found that the pyrolysis reactions would delay, and the weight loss rate of hemicellu-lose decreased, while the maximum weight loss rates of cellulose and lignin respectively increased from 6.87 and 2.73 wt. %/min for PL to 8.32 and 4.44 wt. %/min for TSPL300. The acid washing and torrefac-tion cannot change the kinetic equations of various pyrolysis stages, but can make an increase of activation energies for the pyrolysis of hemicellulose, cellulose and lignin, but decreased the values for the decompo-sition of inorganic minerals. The horizontal tube furnace tests showed that, with the temperature growing, the CO content from the pyrolysis of samples from the acid washing and torrefaction would increase first and then decrease, the CO2 content gradually decreased, while the contents of H2 and CH4 increased slight-ly. The XRD analysis results indicated that the main components in the pyrolysis residues were Ca(OH)2, C, and CaCO3. This study aims to reveal the impact of acid washing baking pretreatment on the pyrolysis process of municipal green biomass, and provide scientific guidance for the efficient utilization of biomass energy in the field of energy conservation and carbon reduction. |
