The Influence of Inorganic Materials on the Thermal Deactivation of Fuel Chars

摘要

The influence of inorganic material on the thermal deactivation of a biomass fuel an a coal was investigated. Reactivity experiments were performed for chars from wheat and leached wheat straw pyrolyzed at a wide range of heat treatment temperatures (HTT) in a thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA) and entrained flow reactor (EFR). The HTT were varied from 973 to 1673 K in the TGA, and 973 to 1613 K in the EFR.
