Abstract
The high-temperature flow behavior of biomass (straw) and coal blended ash was studied. The variation of viscosity and the temperature of critical viscosity with different straw content were investigated. It is found that the straw ash with high viscosity is unsuitable for directly gasification and the 20% straw content sample can effectively decrease the viscosity. The solid phase content and mineral matters variation calculated by FactSage demonstrate the change of viscosity. In addition, the network theory illustrates that the SiOSi bond decreases to improve the viscosity of 20% straw content sample. The variation of mineral matters in XRD analysis validates the change of viscosity. Furthermore, the temperature of critical viscosity and lowest operation temperature reach the minimum when the straw content is 20%. Hysteresis between heating and cooling process of the sample with 20% straw content is more obvious than that of the samples with 40% and 80% straw content.
