Abstract
The difference of pyrolysis characteristic among cellulose, xylan and lignin was studied by TG and heat radiation reactor. Xylan has a lower thermal stability than cellulose, and decomposes at 217℃~390℃. Cellulose has a higher onset temperature of pyrolysis and lower yield of char compared with xylan and lignin, and decomposes in a rather narrow temperature range. Lignin decomposes over a broad temperature range from 227℃ to 550℃ with a char yield of 42% which is the highest of the three fractions. The trend of biooil yield from the three components with temperature is the same, which increases firstly and then decreases. The biooil yield from cellulose is the highest of the three fractions, but it is lest stable. The biooil from xylan and lignin shows a higher thermal stability. The char yield for cellulose, xylan and lignin decreases with temperature rise, and finally closes to a constant value about 1.5%, 22% and 26%. The gas yield increases with temperature rise, but the contents of the gas are different according to the different fraction.
