Thermocatalytic treatment of biomass tar model compounds via radio frequency

Thermal decomposition kinetics of light polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons as surrogate biomass tar

“…In this work, the hydrogen yields derived from the two PAHs both increased gradually with increased temperature, although hydrogen accounted for a smaller fraction of the total gas yield. Similar to that described by Anis et al, 40 an increase of hydrogen yield with increased temperature during the pyrolysis of toluene was also observed. This provides evidence implying that the polymerization of naphthalene and anthracene occurs during the thermal decomposition process, and it is promoted by increased temperature.…”

Pyrolysis behavior and kinetic study of phenol as tar model compound in micro fluidized bed reactor

“…The main compositions of tar are polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in terms of phenol, toluene, benzene, naphthalene, anthracene and styrene [22e24]. Since the tar composition is extremely complex, most studies select one or two compounds of PAHs as the tar model compound, such as toluene [25,26], benzene [27,28] and naphthalene [29,30], but few studies are concerned with the compound of phenol, which is one of the major compositions of tar [31]. This work selected phenol as the tar model compound.…”

Study of Thermal Heating of Waste Engine Oil in a Microwave Pyrolysis Reactor

“…Similar tendency was also reported by other studies. [21][22][23] For microwave powers of 257 W and 362 W, initially the heating rate increased slightly up to a specific irradiation time before decreasing. The reduction of heating rate is caused by the change of penetration depth of microwave power during processing.…”
