Study on chemical, elemental and combustion characteristics of Lantana camara wood charcoal
Tóm tắt
In this study, pyrolysis of Lantana camara stem biomass was carried out at different carbonization temperature i.e., 300, 400, 500, 600, 700 and 800 °C. The effect carbonization temperature on yield and energy value of charcoal was investigated. The fuel properties parameters (calorific value, ash, volatile content, fixed carbon content etc.) of charcoal were studied. The highest calorific value (31.74 MJ/kg) was recorded in charcoal obtained at 600 °C. The combustion characteristic of charcoal was studied under oxidizing atmosphere using thermogravimetric analyzer. Variation in the fuel properties and combustion characteristics of charcoal prepared at different temperatures was mainly due to difference in proximate and elemental composition of chars.
