Thermogravimetric Analysis of Plastic and Biomass under Different Oxygen Concentration

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper simulates the plastic and biomass pyrolysis and ignition characteristics in different atmosphere, by thermogravimetric analysis polypropylene and plane wood at different oxygen concentrations. Experiments show that, increase the concentration of oxygen can accelerate the pyrolysis reaction rate of biomass and plastics, and can also reduce the ignition temperature of them. But for high volatile substances, such as plastic, the increase of oxygen concentration make a smaller effect on the pyrolysis and ignition, and for relatively high fixed carbon content substances, such as plane woods, the increase of oxygen concentration make a larger effect on pyrolysis and ignition.
