Abstract

Both forestry wastes and agricultural crop residue are good biomass resources. However, although there has been abundant research on the co-combustion of biomass and other types of feedstock, the co-combustion of forestry waste and crop residue has not been fully studied. In this study, five pellets made of wood sawdust (WS) and peanut shell (PS) were named as W10P0, W7P3, W5P5, W3P7, and W0P10 according to their own mixing ratios. The five pellets were used in the combustion experiment and NOx and CO emission performance are investigated. The results show that proper mixing ratios can reduce CO emissions, while the mixture (W7P3, W5P5, and W3P7) emits more NOx than a single material (W10P0 and W0P10). The research will help promote our understanding of the co-combustion of forestry waste and crop residue.
