Characteristics of hemicellulose, cellulose and lignin pyrolysis

TL;DR: In this article, the pyrolysis characteristics of three main components (hemicellulose, cellulose and lignin) of biomass were investigated using, respectively, a thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA) with differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) detector and a pack bed.
Journal ArticleDOI

The mechanism for thermal decomposition of cellulose and its main products

TL;DR: It is found that the formation of CO is enhanced with elevated temperature and residence time, while slight change is observed for the yield of CO(2).

A kinetic model for pyrolysis of cellulose.

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the pyrolysis of cellulose at low pressure (1.5 Torr) can be described by a three reaction model, where an initialization reaction leads to formation of an active cellulose which subsequently decomposes by two competitive first-order reactions, one yielding volatiles and the other char and a gaseous fraction.
Journal ArticleDOI

Introduction to pyrolysis of biomass

TL;DR: The pyrolytic properties of biomass are controlled by the chemical composition of its major components, namely cellulose, hemicelluloses and lignin and their minor components including extractives and inorganic materials as mentioned in this paper.

Thermal degradation of cellulose in air and nitrogen at low temperatures

TL;DR: This paper showed that at temperatures above 300°C, the rate of pyrolysis is essentially the same in both air and nitrogen, indicating that thermal degradation is independent of the oxidative reactions.
Journal ArticleDOI

On the mechanism of the rapid pyrolysis of cellulose

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the monomer unit of cellulose decomposes preferentially to a two-carbon and a four-carbon fragment, with the two carbon fragment rearranging to give a yield of glycolaldehyde which is 75% or more of that theoretically probable.

Thermal Effects in Cellulose Pyrolysis: Relationship to Char Formation Processes

TL;DR: In this paper, the thermochemistry of cellulose pyrolysis has been studied by a combination of differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis, and the vapor pressure and heat of vaporization of levoglucosan have been determined by an effusion method.
