RESUMO
Pyrolysis of reed black liquor was tested in the form of both dried powder in a thermogravimeter connected to a mass spectrometer (TG-MS) and fed droplets (RBLD) in an atmospheric fluidized bed at temperatures of 530-780 °C. The effects of temperature were examined to clarify the variations in composition of gaseous products and the microscopic appearance of char. Examination was also performed for the releases of species containing Na, K, and Cl during pyrolysis. The results obtained show that the concentration of combustible components (CH4, H2, and CO) in pyrolysis gas increased with increasing bed temperature to reach 66.1% at 780 °C. There are more Na, K, and Cl releasing into the gaseous product at higher temperatures. The variation in the micromorphology of char from RBLD pyrolysis has been obtained and analyzed.
RESUMO
Ionic liquids (ILs) have been used for carbon dioxide (CO2 ) capture, however, which have never been used as catalysts to accelerate CO2 capture. The record is broken by a uniquely designed IL, [EMmim][NTf2 ]. The IL can universally catalyze both CO2 sorption and desorption of all the chemisorption-based technologies. As demonstrated in monoethanolamine (MEA) based CO2 capture, even with the addition of only 2000 ppm IL catalyst, the rate of CO2 desorption-the key to reducing the overall CO2 capture energy consumption or breaking the bottleneck of the state-of-the-art technologies and Paris Agreement implementation-can be increased by 791% at 85 °C, which makes use of low-temperature waste heat and avoids secondary pollution during CO2 capture feasible. Furthermore, the catalytic CO2 capture mechanism is experimentally and theoretically revealed.
