Co-firing combustion characteristics of different ages of Bambusa balcooa relative to a high ash coal

摘要

Bambusa balcooa samples of 1, 3 and 4 years old were subjected to torrefaction at 250 degrees C and 280 degrees C, and low temperature carbonization at 350 degrees C and 400 degrees C to establish their combustion, co-combustion and physicochemical properties. The combustibility of these raw and thermally treated bamboo materials was studied using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA).
