Pyrolysis Features of Larch Bark and Xylem

Abstract:

In this paper, the ultimate, proximate and component analyses of the Daxinganling larch bark and xylem were performed and intercompared respectively. The pyrolysis features of the bark and xylem were analyzed by using the differential thermal thermo-gravimetric analyzer (TG). The influences of heating rate on pyrolysis features were discussed. The results show: (i) the content of H is a little more in the xylem than the bark and the content of ash in the bark is two times of the xylem and the content of fixed carbon in the xylem is two times of the bark. The content of alcohol-benzene extract is significantly more in the bark than the xylem and the glarson lignin in the bark is two times of the xylem but the hemicellulose in the xylem is three times of the bark; (ii) the process of the bark pyrolysis has two pyrolysis areas, but the xylem has a only pyrolysis area, however, the main pyrolysis interval of temperature of the bark and xylem are between 420K to 720K, in which the weight-loss of bark is 87-91% of the full weight-loss and the xylem weight-loss is 91-95% of the full weight-loss. (iii) the DTG peak of the xylem is behind 25 K of bark, and the DTG peak of the bark is-0.47 but the xylem-0.93. (iv) the curves of the TG and DTG move to the side of the higher temperature a bit following the heating rate increased, while the main pyrolysis areas are wider.
