Abstract

The pyrolysis behaviors and pyrolysis kinetics of corn straw (YM), cotton stalk(MG) and blends at different proportion were studied by TG-DSC technique. The results indicate that two kinds of biomass straw can be mixed fully. The pyrolysis process with its blend ratio is not a linear relationship and solid product reduced compared with single-stalk. In addition, the major pyrolysis process of mixture within the main range can be well described by a two-dimensional diffusion model with Malek method. Among the tested samples, the 40:60 MG/ YM blend shows the lowest activation energy of 51.7 KJ/mol. Besides corn straw plays a dominant role on the course of the thermal conversion. The experimental results may provide useful data to promote the application of biomass thermochemical conversion technology of biomass mixture.
