Co‐generation and GHG emission from agricultural waste based on pyrolysis/gasification: Experimental and LCA approaches

Abstract In this study, co‐generation from rice straw based on pyrolysis and gasification was studied by experimental and modeling approaches. Pyrolysis experiment results show that improving pyrolysis temperature will benefit the yield of gas and bio‐oil, while reducing the yield of bio‐char. The B...

description Abstract In this study, co‐generation from rice straw based on pyrolysis and gasification was studied by experimental and modeling approaches. Pyrolysis experiment results show that improving pyrolysis temperature will benefit the yield of gas and bio‐oil, while reducing the yield of bio‐char. The BET (Brunauer, Emmett, and Teller) surface area of bio‐char reached a maximum of 143.26 m2/g when the temperature was increased to 550°C. For co‐generation in this study, an optimized pyrolysis temperature of 500°C was selected. With respect to gasification, air equivalence ratio (ER) largely influenced the syngas yield and composition. At ER = 0.25, the concentration of H2 and CO reached a maximum of 17.8 wt% and 16.2 wt%. Based on the experimental results, an Aspen Plus model was built to evaluate the mass and energy balance during co‐generation. Furthermore, a life cycle assessment method was used to evaluate the greenhouse gas emission during co‐generation process initialed from rice straw planting. Results show that the greenhouse gas emission intensities of the two co‐generation systems were 2.92 and 3.51 g CO2/MJ respectively, which were much lower than traditional fossil fuels.
