摘要
Rice straws and cotton stalks were selected as raw materials. After torrefaction pretreatment, the fixed-bed combustion experiment and HSC Chemistry thermodynamic equilibrium calculations were conducted to obtain the release and migration characteristics of alkali metal K during the combustion of torrefied biomass. The results showed that there was a small amount of water-soluble K release and its conversion to ammonium acetate dissolved K during torrefaction, and its conversion and release capacity was positively correlated with Cl/K. The ash formation rate of torrefied biomass decreased with the increase of combustion temperature, while the release rate of K changed with the temperature on the contrary; K was released in the form of water-soluble K, ammonium acetate dissolved K and acid-soluble K, and its main release form was K chloride and KOH. In addition, water-soluble K and ammonium acetate dissolved K were mainly converted to char-K at 600℃, and mainly converted to K silicate at 700-900℃. As the temperature rose, its conversion volume continued to increase. Compared with the raw biomass, torrefied biomass had a higher ash formation rate; in addition, torrefaction promoted the conversion of ammonium acetate dissolved K to acid-soluble K or potassium silicate during the combustion of biomass, and at the same time inhibited the release of water-soluble K. Therefore, the release rate of K during the combustion of torrefied biomass was lower. The inhibition of K release during the combustion of biomass by torrefaction is positively correlated with the release rate of Cl during the torrefaction. © 2021, Editorial Board of CIESC Journal.
