Abstract:

It was meaningful to optimize the combustion performance of biomass briquette fuel, which was the main application of biomass energy. The effects of common additives such as CaO, Ca(OH)2, SiO2, Al2O3, urea and fly ash on the release of SO2 and NOx during straw briquette combustion were studied. The results showed that the release of SO2 and NOx was decreased with increasing calcium sulfur ratio and decreasing water content. The catalytic combusion of Al2O3 increased the release of SO2 and NOx, while the sintering of straw and fly ash enhanced the heterogeneous denitrification reaction. Adding SiO2 into briquette fuel was beneficial to the formation of calcium silicate complexes, which could reduce SO2. And the desulfurization and denitrification effects reached the maximum when the dosage of SiO2 was 5%. What was more, when urea was added after combustion for 15 s, the reducing gas produced by the pyrolysis of urea could decrease the release of SO2 and NOx. Moreover, the melting reaction and heterogeneous denitrification reaction were promoted by the increasing temperature, hindering the combustion of coke N, which greatly reduced the release of NOx.
