The aim of this study was to assess the possibility of using furniture waste for smokeless fuel production using the pyrolysis process. Four types of wood-based wastes were used in the pyrolysis process: pine sawdust (PS), chipboard (CB), medium-density fiberboard (MDF), and oriented strand board (OSB). Additionally, the slow and fast types of pyrolysis were compared, where the heating rates were 15 °C/min and 100 °C/min, respectively. Chemical analyses of the raw materials and the pyrolysis product yields are presented. A significant calorific value rise was observed for the solid pyrolysis products (from approximately 17.5 MJ/kg for raw materials up to approximately 29 MJ/kg for slow pyrolysis products and 31 MJ/kg for fast pyrolysis products). A higher carbon content of char was observed in raw materials (from approximately 48% for raw materials up to approximately 75% for slow pyrolysis products and approximately 82% for fast pyrolysis products) than after the pyrolysis process. This work presents the possibility of utilizing waste furniture material that is mostly composed of wood, but is not commonly used as a substrate for conversion into low-emission fuel. The results prove that the proposed solution produced char characterized by the appropriate properties to be classified as smokeless coal.

The routine pruning and cutting of fruit trees provides a considerable amount of biowaste each year. This lignocellulosic biomass, mainly in the form of branches, trunks, rootstocks, and leaves, is a potential high-quality fuel, yet often is treated as waste. The results of a feasibility study on biochar production by pyrolysis of residues from orchard pruning were presented. Three types of biomass waste were selected as raw materials and were obtained from the most common fruit trees in Poland: apple (AP), pear (PR), and plum (PL) tree prunings. Two heating rates and three final pyrolysis temperatures were applied. For the slow (SP) and fast pyrolysis (FP) processes, the heating rates were 15 °C/min and 100 °C/min, respectively. The samples were heated from 25 °C up to 400, 500, and 600 °C. Chemical analyses of the raw materials were conducted, and the pyrolysis product yields were determined. A significant rise of higher heating value (HHV) was observed for the solid pyrolysis products, from approximately 23.45 MJ/kg for raw materials up to approximately 29.52 MJ/kg for pyrolysis products at 400 °C, and 30.53 MJ/kg for pyrolysis products at 600 °C. Higher carbon content was observed for materials obtained by fast pyrolysis conducted at higher temperatures.

Abstract Prior information on the pyrolysis product behaviour of biomass components-cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin is critical in the selection of feedstock as components have a significant influence on the pyrolysis products yield. In this study, the effect of biomass components on the yield of slow pyrolysis products (char, bio-oil and syngas) is investigated using a validated ASPEN Plus® model. The model is simulated at a temperature of 450 °C, a heating rate of 10 °C/min and a solid residence time of 30 min. The results indicated that at the given conditions, lignin contributed 2.4 and 2.5 times more char yield than cellulose and hemicellulose. The hemicellulose contributed 1.33 times more syngas yield than lignin while the cellulose and hemicellulose contributed 8.67 times more bio-oil yield than lignin. Moreover, the cost involved in the production of char using lignin (110 $/ton) is significantly economical than using cellulose (285 $/ton) and hemicellulose (296 $/ton). The net CO2 emission of lignin pyrolysis is 4.14 times lower than cellulose pyrolysis and 3.94 times lower than hemicellulose pyrolysis. It can be concluded that lignin pyrolysis is more advantageous than cellulose and hemicellulose pyrolysis. In the selection of feedstock for the slow pyrolysis, the feedstock with more lignin content is preferred. Graphical abstract

Today, waste plastics represent a promising source both for energy production and chemicals. One way to use their potential is pyrolysis under well-defined conditions. This work presents a suitable method for treat-ment of waste polyethylene terephthalate (PET) using low-temperature pyrolysis realized by heating rates of 5 °C.min-1 (slow pyrolysis) or 25 °C.min-1 (fast pyrolysis) up to final temperature of 400 °C. Under these con-ditions, the valuable products were formed, namely solid fuel with HHV 31-33 MJ.kg-1 and liquid mixture containing mainly ethylene glycol and aldehydes. While slow pyrolysis provides mainly solid fuel, ethylene glycol and aldehydes, main products of fast pyrolysis are solid fuel and paraldehyde.

A ZrB2-SiC multiphase ceramic was fabricated with a precursor pyrolysis method by using zirconium boride organic precursor and polycarbosilane. In order to study the pyrolysis process of complex phase ceramics, the pyrolysis process of the two precursors was studied respectively at the beginning. The precursor and the mixture with different weight ratios both pyrolyzed at 800°C. ~1500°C. under argon atmosphere. The specimens were characterized by thermo-gravimetric analysis, infra-red, X-ray diffraction. It was found that the pyrolysis products of PCS remained amorphous below 1000°C. and converted into crystallization with temperature increasing. ZrO2as the intermediate pyrolysis product of ZrB2precursor initiate convert to t-ZrO2from m-ZrO2at 1200°C.. Finally, all kinds of ZrB2-SiC multiphase ceramic are successful obtained via pyrolysis of precursor after 1500°C. And the 40wt%ZrB2precursor initial carbothermal reduction temperature below the ZrB2precursor reactive temperature and the crystal degree of SiC is higher than pyrolysis product of PCS.

In this study, thermogravimetric analysis coupled with Fourier transform infrared analysis (TG-FTIR) was used to studying the volatile evolution characteristic during the eucalyptus pyrolysis from South China. The thermogravimetric analysis results indicate that the pyrolysis of eucalyptus occurred in three main stages which are the moisture vaporization stage, the volatile matter release stage and the char decomposition stage. The major gases evolved during the pyrolysis process were identified to be H2O, CO, CO2, CH4. In addition, the effects of different heating rates on the emissions of these pyrolysis products have been studied.

At present, the disposal of polymer and rubber waste, and especially automobile tires, is one of the most acute environmental problems. These types of waste pollute the environment both when they are stored at landfills and during subsequent disposal, especially if it is carried out in the form of incineration. Therefore, at present, much attention is paid to thermal methods of their processing. The results of the study of liquid product of pyrolysis of tires of Kuznetskecology+ LLC are presented in the work. During its distillation, the following fractures were obtained (the yield wt% is indicated in parentheses): petroleum (4), gasoline (21), kerosene (18), diesel (47), fuel oil (10), for which the refractive index was determined and a conclusion about their chemical composition was drawn. When analyzing the data obtained during the analysis of liquid pyrolysis product and its fractions, as well as on the basis of published data, possible chemical reactions occurring during vulcanized rubber pyrolysis are proposed. Research results show that pyrolysis products are valuable chemical raw materials that have great prospects for industrial use, including the production of synthetic motor fuels.

Bio-oils were produced within a fast pyrolysis microreactor at 400°C from Pinus taeda (Loblolly pine) with varying residence times. This study has considered six residence times, evaluating the products of the reaction between 10 s and 120 s. The collected bio-oils and solids were analyzed for their calorific values and yields. Heating rates greater than 100°C/s were achieved, allowing for isothermal conditions throughout the majority of the reaction despite short residence times. The predictive capabilities of thermogravimetric analysis derived Arrhenius coefficients are evaluated and a new two component degradation model is empirically derived, showing a much improved representation of the fast pyrolysis process.
