采用TG-DTG和XRD研究了纤维素、半纤维素及其混合物焙烧还原软锰矿的动力学.结果表明,与非生物质类还原剂相比,纤维素、半纤维素及其混合物可在低于773 K焙烧还原软锰矿,纤维素和半纤维素单独焙烧还原软锰矿的动力学可采用在JMA方程基础上提出的经验动力学函数α=1-exp{-k0exp(-Ea/RT)[(T-T0)/β]n}描述,表观活化能Ea分别为38.66和30.14 k J/mol.混合物还原软锰矿过程的动力学可用单一组分动力学的线性加和表示,即转化率α=Σixiαiε(T-T0,i),且Σixi=1,式中ε(T-T0)是单位阶跃函数,用于避免产生无效的转化率数据.
Pyrolusite reduction processes by three major biomass components cellulose,hemicelluloses and lignin,represented by CP,HP and LP,respectively,were investigated by thermogravimetric analyzer coupled with Fourier transform infrared spectrometry(TG-FTIR).The Sestak-Berggren(SB) equation was used to evaluate the kinetics of reduction processes.TG analysis reveals that the main reduction processes occur at 250-410 ℃,220-390 ℃,and 190-410 ℃ for CP,HP,and LP,respectively.FT-IR and XRD results indicate that various reducing volatiles(e.g.aldehydes,furans,ketones and alcohols) are produced from the pyrolysis with the three major components,which directly reduce MnO_2 in ore to MnO.The processes are described by the SB equation with three parameters(m,n,p).Their non-zero values suggest that pyrolusite reduction is controlled by the diffusion of reducing gaseous products through an ash/inert layer associated with minerals.The apparent activation energies for pyrolusite reduction by CP,HP and LP are 40.48,25.70 and 40.10 kJ·mol^(-1),respectively.
