The pyrolysis process was sub- divided into four stages at a rate of 10℃.min-1, varying from 30 to 650℃. Below 180℃, a mass loss occurred for drying and preheating the sample and the onset temperature of pyrolysis ranged between 180-260℃. A significant mass loss 3f 61.4 wt.% occurred between 260-380℃, followed by a slow and continuous mass change with lignin devolatilization. The analysis of kinetic reactions showed that the activation energy (78.29 kJ.mol-1) in the low-temperature section was much larger than that (6.40 kJ-mol-1) in the high-temperature section. The evolved gases formed by thermal degradation 3f poplar wood were simultaneously analyzed by FTIR. It was observed from the main peaks that the emissions evolved during poplar wood pyrolysis were acetic acid, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, methane, water, some volatile com- 3ounds of esters, alcohols and aldehydes. The emissions gradually increased with rising temperatures before a strong 3eak around 360℃ and then decreased. Most gaseous products were emitted in the 320-380℃ range, while CO2 was =ontinuously emitted in a wide range from 140-550℃.展开更多
