Abstract:
By studying the composition of Distiller’s grains and its pyrolysis in the temperature range of 50-900 °C,the TG/DTG results show that the initial pyrolysis temperature of DG is 137 ℃ and the fastest pyrolysis rate of 6% · min
-1 is obtained at a pyrolysis temperature of 305 ℃. 3D-FTIR data shows that the main gaseous products of DG are CO
2,CH
4,ketones,aldehydes,acids and amines.The kinetic behavior of DG was analyzed by the Distributed Activation Energy Model(DAEM)and Flynn-Wall-Ozawa(FWO)method,which showed that the activation energy of DG was 76.49 kJ/mol at the initial stage of pyrolysis and 160 kJ/mol at the steady stage.
