Abstract

In this paper, the pyrolysis process of wood chips as a typical biomass feedstock was studied. The thermal gravimetric Fourier infrared spectrometry-mass spectrometry (TG-FTIR-MS) combined apparatus and fixed bed pyrolysis apparatus were used for experimental analysis. The results showed that the main pyrolysis temperature range of wood chips was 246–390 ℃, and the maximum weight loss rate was 363 ℃. During the pyrolysis process, the released volatile substances mainly include CO, CO2, CH4, ethers, acids, aldehydes, aromatics and phenols. The results of fixed-bed pyrolysis showed that the three-phase product yields of wood chips pyrolysis at 450–550 ℃ were relatively stable, in which the yield of liquid product was about 50 wt.%, that of coke was about 30 wt.% and that of gas was about 20 wt.%. The content of phenolic substances in pyrolysis oil is the highest, accounting for about 41.4%. This study revealed the evolution law of the escaped substances during the pyrolysis of wood chips, and provided a theoretical basis for the efficient utilization of biomass resources.
