To investigate the effects of potassium and sodium on the propagation velocity of biomass smoldering
biomass rods and char rods were made by adding different proportions (0-1.65%) of KCl and NaCl to a mixture of pine-elm powder
smoldering propagation velocity was compared and analyzed. The results show that both KCl and NaCl enhance the smoldering propagation velocity of biomass and char rods. The smoldering velocity of biomass rod increases with the proportion of KCl
reaching a maximum of 1.5 times that of the original biomass rod. The effect of NaCl is more significant
which is 1.8 times of the original velocity at 0.33%-1.65%. For char rods
the enhancement of smoldering velocity by KCl and NaCl both firstly increases and then decreases
and the maximum smoldering velocity is obtained at 0.99% and 0.33% proportions of KCl and NaCl
respectively. The effect results are consistent with the oxygen transfer theory and the Langmuir-Hinshelwood mechanism. The more significant influence of NaCl compared to KCl is attributed to sodium’s smaller relative atomic mass and more reactive properties.
