Biomass pyrolysis to obtain environmentally friendly fuel is economically feasible

Researchers at the Otsk University of Technology have confirmed that the biomass pyrolysis process is accompanied by a positive thermal effect, which can obtain environmentally friendly and renewable variants of traditional hydrocarbon fuels-oil, natural gas and coal. Related research results were published in the journal Biomass and Bioenergy.

Pyrolysis is the thermal decomposition process of organic natural compounds in the absence of oxygen. Pyrolysis technology is most common in the petrochemical industry. The scientific research team of Tomsk University of Technology has studied the pyrolysis of common and typical biomass-peat, straw, several wood wastes, pine nuts shells, and confirmed that it will form an energy valuable product-tar, Solid carbon residues and combustible gases.

Biomass is a renewable energy source, an environmental pollutant and a potential fire source. Research in this area helps to use biofuels to obtain energy technologies that are more resource-efficient and cost-effective. In order for biofuels to replace mineral and organic raw materials and form a competitive advantage, the technology for obtaining fuel from biomass should be more economically feasible. However, some studies believe that this technology is unprofitable and wasteful and requires energy to decompose organic matter.

But scientists at Tomsk University of Technology insist on the opposite view: heat release generates heat and should be able to sustain the process itself. Roman Tabakayev, a researcher at the Butakoff Science and Education Center of the school, said: "Taking straw as an example, we have proved the exothermic properties of biomass pyrolysis through experiments. Biomass pyrolysis is accompanied by positive thermal effects. Therefore, biomass is suitable for processing in autothermal mode. "

The researchers said that the task they now face is the possibility of self-heating of the graduate materials under the condition of continuous loading of raw materials.
