This work established a high-speed camera-assisted visualization system that investigated the effect of volatile matter and fixed carbon content in biomass particles on single-particle combustion phases their luminous properties. Three types particles, namely, sawdust (a mixture pine willow), corncob, rice husk, were examined Hencken flat-flame burner. The region intensity single closely related to flammability calorific value fuel derived by analyzing sequence images captured using camera....
Lignocellulose-rich empty fruit bunches (EFBs) have high potential as feedstock for second-generation biofuel and biochemical production without compromising food security. Nevertheless, the major challenge of valorizing lignocellulose-rich EFB is its pretreatment cost. In this study, preliminary techno-economic feasibility expanding an existing pellet plant into integrated bio-refinery to produce xylitol bioethanol was investigated a strategy diversify cost leverage selling price...
The effects of non-thermal plasma (NTP) treatment on biomass in the form pulverized palm-based empty fruit bunches (EFB) are investigated. Specifically, this study investigates NTP surface reactivity, morphology, oxygen-to-carbon (O/C) ratio EFB at varying times. reactivity is determined by reaction antioxidant functional groups or reactive species with 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH). By measuring concentration DPPH a spectrophotometer, change amount can be measured to determine...
Non-thermal plasma (NTP) devices produce excited and radical species that have higher energy levels than their ground state are utilized for various applications. There types of NTP devices, with dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) reactors being widely used. These DBD vary in geometrical configuration operating parameters, making a comparison performance terms power characteristics difficult. Therefore, this study proposes dimensionless parameter is related to the features, function respect...
High-alkali coal is rich in alkali metals, which can cause serious effects such as slagging and corrosion on the heating surface during combustion utilization. A portable spectral system was utilized to simultaneously measure gaseous Na concentration temperature a 20 kW slag-tapping combustor boiler furnace of 300 MW power generation unit by flame spontaneous emission spectroscopy (FES) for simultaneous measuring. The result shows that both ZD-FK ZD-HSQ (Fukang Hongshaquan coal, Xinjiang...
The flame emission spectra were measured from the combustion of biomass in a boiler, which ratio alkali metals' number densities (sodium and potassium) precursory derived. Fly bottom ash samples collected to determine their composition via scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDX). A comparison density ratios (from spectra) provided information on potential pathways for metals. also showed that can be taken as tentative in-situ indicator ratio....
An atmospheric air non-thermal plasma (NTP) device is characterized in relation to ozone production.The electron density, n e , temperature, T and concentration are measured for three dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) geometries, i.e., ten tubes of 10 mm outer diameter (OD), six 25 OD, 40 OD.n deduced using optical emission spectroscopy via the line ratio method concentrations by an meter.ne were highest tube-40 configuration, showing a correlation between number charged particles production.
