Experimental Study on Biomass Char Combustion in O₂/CO₂ Atmosphere

Abstract:

Experiments of biomass char combustion in 10%O₂/90%CO₂, 21%O₂/79%CO₂, 10%O₂/90%N₂ and 21%O₂/79%N₂ atmospheres were performed in the fixed-bed reactor system at the temperature of 800°C-1200°C. The results show that at the same temperature, NO emission is higher in O₂/N₂ atmosphere than that in O₂/CO₂ atmosphere. The higher the O₂ concentration is, the higher the NO yield is. As the temperature rises, the NO yield rises at first and then decreases at the same O₂ concentration and atmosphere.
