“…In general studies on bamboo gasification in the open literature are rather limited. Some investigations carried out in Asia and Africa exist [1] [2] but most of the other studies of thermal conversion of bamboo discuss rather the production of activated carbon [3]- [5] or bio-oil [6]- [8], not the gasification.…”

Biomass gasification is a thermochemical conversion process that dates back to the 19th century. Nevertheless, designing and operating a gasifier system is not an easy task. Every biomass feedstock has different characteristics and the gasifier needs to be designed according to those qualities. Hence, many laboratory analyses on bamboo were carried out for this study. This study also concentrates on finding the best possible process variables for a bamboo fueled downdraft gasifier through a sensitivity analysis. A software program called Thermoflex was used for this purpose and the effect of gasifier temperature, air-fuel-ratio, moisture content of the fuel and temperature of pre-heated air on the syngas composition were simulated. The results show that bamboo is a decent gasification feedstock because of its low ash and sulfur content and satisfactory energy value. The simulations reveal that the best gas quality is obtained with the gasifier temperature between 700˚C and 800˚C, A/F-ratio of 1.25 -1.75 and dry basis moisture content between 10% and 15%.

“…For the next stage, the final temperature of thermal decomposition for the previous step becomes the initial temperature for thermal decomposition. In the third stage, the final temperature is defined as the critical point where the mass variance of sample is very slight (Jiang et al 2011). The TG curves for mixtures of NK and PF samples between 30 to 900 o C are shown in Fig.…”

Fiberboard is a common interior material used both in China and the United States of America. The increase in demand for interior materials has raised concerns regarding combustibility of the materials. The pyrolysis characteristics of fiber, phenolic resin (PF), and nano kaolinclay (NK) were investigated using thermogravimetry. The fire performances of samples coated with a mixture of NK and PF were determined using a cone calorimeter. The pyrolysis process of fiber included three phases dependent on chemical composition. The initial temperature of PF pyrolysis was about 100 °C and it stopped at 280°C. The major mass loss of NK was observed between 400 to 600 °C due to the gradual oxolation of the metakaolin. In comparison with fiber board, samples coated with a mixture of NK and PF achieved a better fire performance. The results showed a longer TTI, lower HRR, and THR, and less CO and CO 2 yield, especially from a mixture of NK (90%) and PF (10%). The application of an NK and PF mixture to fiber board as a flame retardant is an effective method for enhancing fire safety and resistance.

a b s t r a c tTubular furnace pyrolysis reactor for the production of organic liquids from biomass has been demonstrated at a pilot-scale of 500 g/batch of dry feed at a temperature of 360-420• C. Treatment of starch gives high yields of 1,6-anhydro-␤-d-glucopyranose (levoglucosan, LG). The yield depends on the heater temperature and the vacuum pressure in the reactor. The maximum yield of levoglucosan from corn starch is about 56% (analytical value) at ultimate pressure of 6 × 10 −2 Pa, pumping speed of 15 L/s and temperature of 390• C. Under the same conditions, the products of levoglucosan pyrolysis are exactly the same as starch pyrolysis. Based on these experimental results and further thermal analysis, a new pyrolysis mechanism is provided and discussed.
