Under the guidance of the "dual carbon" target, the biomass chemical looping gasification technology has attracted many attentions for its ability to achieve negative carbon emissions, and its promotion and appli-cation are expected to promote carbon reduction in the energy sector. This research applied pine sawdust as biomass fuel and iron-containing sludge ash as waste-based oxygen carrier, and the effects of different preparation conditions and experimental operating parameters on the chemical looping gasification per-formances and cycling stability of iron-containing sludge ash were studied through a fixed bed reactor coupled with a gas chromatography (GC). The experimental results showed that, the iron-containing sludge ash had the ability to provide lattice oxygen, which could promote the pyrolysis conversion of pine saw-dust. The sludge ash prepared at a calcination temperature of 800℃ had the best catalytic performance, and the highest calorific value of syngas was obtained, reaching 11.63MJ/Nm3. By water washing and acid washing on the iron-containing sludge, the Fe2O3 content in the ash increased from 53.37% to 61.38% and 64.46%, respectively, improving the supply capacity of lattice oxygen. Furthermore, different ratios, tem-peratures, and cycling experiments were conducted on the sludge ash after water washing and acid washing, and it was found that the chemical looping gasification reaction performances of pine sawdust were im-proved to some extent. The optimal gasification temperature for water washing sludge ash was 800℃, and the calorific value of syngas reached 13.89MJ/Nm3. The optimal gasification temperature for acid washing sludge ash was lower at 750℃. The sludge ash treated with water washing and acid washing exhibited rela-tively stable reaction performance during the chemical looping gasification process, and it had been exper-imentally proven that the reduction of Fe2O3 follows a stepwise reaction process of Fe2O3 → Fe3O4 → FeO/Fe. This study aimed to explore the influence of preparation conditions and experimental operating parameters of iron-containing sludge on the chemical looping gasification process of pine sawdust, in order to achieve the goals of solid waste resource utilization, efficient biomass conversion, and waste treatment, and provide useful references for its promotion and application in the energy field and assistance in carbon reduction. |
