Abstract

The coupling of DAP (2.9–29 wt%) and pre-carbonization (300 °C, 1 h) of a woody biomass waste (fast growing) was aimed to improve the carbon yield for pyrolysis technology. After the pretreatment, the pyrolysis experiment was performed at 500–900 °C under hypoxic conditions. The introduction of DAP (2.9%) could enhance the solid yields 2 times for biomass, and the calorific value was elevated from 22.57 kJ/kg for the carbonized biomass to 24.67 kJ/kg in carbonization. The further pyrolysis results showed that the comparable solid yield (85%), gas yield (4.1%), and liquid yield (21%) of CPDP were obtained by the above modification of biomass. The phenolic and toluene compounds of the tar were reduced by 37.3% and 7%, the temperature of the main gas precipitation peaks was decreased by 78 °C, and the released of methane was more than 3 times. This work for the first time proves the effectiveness of improving the carbon fixation and deoxidation performance from biomass via the pretreatment by DAP impregnation and the carbonization.
