The effect of temperature and hemicellulose-lignin, cellulose-lignin, and cellulose-hemicellulose on char yield from the slow pyrolysis of rice husk Naveen Kumar Gupta, P. Prakash, P. Kalaichelvi, K. N. Sheeba Energy Sources Part A Recovery Utilization and Environmental Effects, 2016 In this work, the effect of temperature on the char yield of untreated rice husk, cellulose removed (hemicellulose + lignin), hemicellulose removed (cellulose + lignin), and lignin removed (cellulose + hemicellulose) is investigated. The work compares the performance of acid and alkaline hydrolysis in the context of lignin removal as well. The effect of hemicellulose-lignin, cellulose-lignin, and cellulose-hemicellulose on char yield during slow pyrolysis of rice husk is also studied. The study reveals that only low temperatures favor char yield. Alkaline hydrolysis effects better lignin removal than acid hydrolysis. The effect of hemicellulose-lignin on char yield is more than cellulose-lignin and cellulose-lignin.
Effect of composting on products of slow pyrolysis Prakash Parthasarathy, Naveen Kumar Gupta, K. Sheeba Narayanan Biofuels, 2015 Composting can be used to break down the complex biomass components which can influence slow pyrolysis products. In this work, the effect of composting on slow pyrolysis products of rice husk and wheat husk at different temperatures is investigated. It was found that in rice husk, composting yielded a 2.63–16.33% increase in char yield. In wheat husk, a 9.41–19.68% increase in char yield was observed. In the case of bio-oil yield, a 1.70–21.67% increase in rice husk and a 1.55–5.14% increase in wheat husk was noticed. However, with regard to gas yield, composting yielded a 47.22–52.24% decrease in rice husk and a 8.86–33.62% decrease in wheat husk.
