摘要

The pyrolysis characteristics of three lignocellulosic biomasses (fir wood, eucalyptus and pine bark) and a marine biomass (Nannochloropsis gaditana microalgae) were investigated by thermogravimetric analysis coupled with mass spectrometry (TGA-MS). Thermal degradation of lignocellulosic biomass was divided into four zones, corresponding to the decomposition of their main components (cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin) and a first step associated to water removal. Differences in volatile matter and cellulose content of lignocellulosic species resulted in different degradation rates. Microalgae pyrolysis occurred in three stages due to the main components of them (proteins), which are greatly different from lignocellulosic biomass. Heating rate effect was also studied. The main gaseous products formed were CO₂, light hydrocarbons and H₂O. H₂ was detected at high temperatures, being associated to secondary reactions (char self-gasification). Pyrolysis kinetics were studied using a multiple-step model. The proposed model successfully predicted the pyrolytic behaviour of these samples resulting to be statistically meaningful.
