Catalytic Pyrolysis of Wood by Presence of Clay Minerals

摘要

Devonian and Quaternary clays of Latvia with a sawdust additive after plastic moulding of pellets were used. Partial oxidation of sawdust and formation of active carbon after thermal shock at 800 °C was determined. The main mineral of the clays used was hydromica with slight differences in the structure. Obtained materials with bulk density of 1.1 g/cm~3 as a sorbent for different chemicals such as iodine and methylene blue were used. Dependence of sorption ability of the pellets on the type of the used clays (clay minerals) was determined. XRD for the determination of phase composition, nitrogen absorption for the pore size distribution, SEM for the analysis of structure and nano scale Zetasizer for the determination of surface charge were used.
