Abstract

For the development and design of advanced biomass conversion equipment, accurate experimental data of fundamental processes are highly important. To contribute to a better description of the chemical and physical processes occurring in biomass pyrolysis, the results of biomass pyrolysis experiments, in which biomass is heated very fast on a metal grid, are presented. Specific focus is on the product evolution rate of NH₃, an important precursor for NO_x formation. Very little ammonia was produced from fresh wood. However, it was substantial for other fuels. Urea and melamine components released nitrogen in the form of NH₃, HCN, and HNCO. The production rates of these components were expressed in the form of first order kinetics. These kinetic data are vital for an accurate description of NO_x formation in biomass conversion equipment. This is an abstract of a paper presented at the 2006 AIChE Annual Meeting (San Francisco, CA 11/12-17/2006).
