Abstract:

With the development of society and economy, the biosafety treatment of agricultural and forestry waste, household waste, municipal sludge and other organic solid waste has attracted wide attention in recent years. Traditional treatments such as landfill , incineration and crop residue burying are not eco-friendly. Since there are abundant carbon sources in solid wastes, traditional treatments will lead to carbon source loss. Microwave pyrolysis (MP) is an innovative biomass pyrolysis technology with advantages of fast heating rate, uniform heating on biomass and high heating efficiency. MP can affect the properties of biomass in a different way that conventional tube furnace heating does because their heat and mass transfer methods are different. This study summarizes the properties of the solid biochar derived from the MP of disposed biomass and different ways of MP, and compares the product compositions and product yields varying with raw materials, microwave power and temperature. And the research lays focus on the comparison of the morphology, surface functional group, pore structure, specific surface area, element content and thermal stability of biochar obtained from different biomass processed by MP. Finally, the biochar made by MP and conventional method are compared.

Key words: solid waste biomass, microwave pyrolysis, morphology, surface functional group, pore structure, thermal stability of biochar, carbon source
