Abstract:
Pyrolysis of rice straw in molten alkali to produce hydrogen rich gas has been studied in a self designed reactor. The effects of molten NaOH, molten KOH and molten KOH-NaOH with different K/Na ratio, on products distribution, gas product yield and H2 content in gas have been investigated. The results show that molten KOH is more favorable than molten NaOH to increase H2 content in gas product. 87.4% H2 content in gas product and H2 yield of 0.7 L/gbiomass have been reached for pyrolysis of rice straw in molten KOH under atmospheric pressure, 450 ℃ and 100 L/h of N2 flow rate.
