Abstract

To investigate the effect of pyrolysis temperatures on combustion behaviors of bamboo charcoal, molded bamboo rods were carbonized from 200 to 800 °C under the nitrogen atmosphere. Combustion characteristics were determined using thermogravimetric and cone calorimeter. The results showed that pyrolysis temperatures significantly influenced the combustion features of bamboo charcoal. The increase of pyrolysis temperatures decreased the absolute content percentage of carbon, sulfur, oxygen, hydrogen, volatiles, H/C, O/C, energy yield, heat release rate, total heat release, total suspended particulates values, but increased carbon densification factor, fuel ratio, energy enrichment factor, calorific value improvement, the average release of CO and CO2, and effective heat of combustion. The pyrolysis temperature of 350 °C was an essential point in the disappearance of volatile combustion. The maximum HHV of 32.44 MJ/kg occurred at 650 °C of temperature, but the maximum activation energy of 153 kJ/mol was found at 550 °C of temperature. The release rate of elements during pyrolysis was O > H > C > S. The lab-made bamboo charcoal had better combustion behaviors than commercial charcoal. This study will be helpful to convert bamboo biomass to solid biofuel in China.
