Abstract:

Based on the deficiencies of the researches on duckweed pyrolysis, the effects of duckweed pyrolysis and phosphorus on the characteristics of pyrolysis gas products were explored. Pickling and phosphoric acid impregnation were used to treat duckweed,and their treatment effects on the pyrolysis characteristics and gas product characteristics of duckweed were investigated by TG-FTIR. It was found that pickling significantly reduced the ash content of duckweed and changed its ash components. In addition, pickling increased the contents of C, H, N and O, and increased the calorific value of the samples. Thermogravimetric results showed that duckweed pyrolysis was mainly divided into four stages. Pyrolysis reaction mainly occurred between 145 and 520 ℃, and the pyrolysis DTG curve showed bimodal distribution. Pickling resulted in a 10 ℃ initial temperature rise, drops of solid product yield after duckweed pyrolysis and the maximum weight loss temperature, and an increase of the maximum weight loss rate. Phosphoric acid impregnation significantly increased the yield of solid products of duckweed pyrolysis, and decreased the maximum weight loss temperature and the maximum weight loss rate. Pickling increased the content of CH4, while phosphoric acid impregnation significantly facilitated the production of CH4, CO2 and NH3, and greatly widened the release range of NH3.

Key words: duckweed, acid pickling, phosphoric acid, impregnation, pyrolysis, thermogravimetry, CH4, CO2, NH3
