De-HCl rate was calculated by determining the emission fraction of HCl in the flue gas and the fraction of Cl left in the pyrolysis residue. The results show that Cl in the d-RDF releases primarily in the form of HCl during the pyrolysis, and the initial releasing temperature of HCl enhances with the increase of heating rate. Meanwhile, the higher the end temperature of pyrolysis, the more the Cl released. De-HCl rate is about 70% when the end temperature of pyrolysis is around 600℃. Besides, mechanism of Cl release is dis-cussed.展开更多

More than 150 years ago, wood, which is one form of biomass, supplied up to 90 percent of our energy needs. Today, we are looking again at renewable resources to find new ways to use them to help meet our energy needs. Overall consumption from renewable sources in the United States totaled 6.8 quads BTU （quadrillion Btu） in 2007 or about 7 percent of all energy used nationally. Consumption from renewable sources was at its highest point in 1997, at about 7.2 quads. Over half of renewable energy goes to producing electricity. Renewable energy plays an important role in the supply of energy. Even with the current fluctuating prices for fuel, U.S. residents and businesses pay a significant price for their utilities. Emissions from the evaporation and combustion of these traditional fossil fuels contributing to a range of environmental and health problems, causing poor air quality, and emitting greenhouse gases caused global warming. The method of producing alternative energy from municipal solid waste plastic is considered an effective way to meet the demand of energy need and save the environment at the same time.展开更多

The variation of oil yield for different biomass feedstock with reactor bed temperature and feed size is presented in this paper. A maximum liquid yield of 55 wt% of dry feedstock is obtained at an optimum temperature of 500℃ for a feed size of 300-600μm with a running time of 55 min for nutshell as the feedstock while the minimum liquid oil yield is found to be 30 wt% of feedstock at an optimum temperature of 400℃ for a feed size of 2.36 mm with a running time of 65 min for linseed residue as the feedstock. A comparison on the product yields is highlighted in this study. The pyrolysis liquid products are characterized and compared for some of the fuel properties like HHV （higher heating value）, viscosity, density and specific gravity.展开更多
