Experimental Study of Impact of Biomass Pellet Size on the Pyrolysis Products

Article Preview

Abstract:

In the present study, pyrolysis characteristics of corn straw pellet were studied in biomass pyrolysis test bench. The influence of pellet diameter on pyrolysis products was investigated. The results showed that: with the increase of pellet diameter, the yield of tar decreased ,and the yield of char and gas increased, and char density increased too. The results has significant theoretical guidance on the biomass gasification and preparation of char using biomass pellets.
