Study on Gas Production Characteristic of Waste Paper by Microwave Pyrolysis in Silicon Carbide Reactor
摘要
An investigation was conducted to analyze the influence of microwave power, the addition of char, and temperature on the pyrolysis of tissue paper for gas generation in a silicon carbide reactor. At a fixed final pyrolysis temperature of 600 ℃, the primary components of the syngas produced were CO and CO₂, constituting approximately 80% of the total, with CH₄ and H₂ making up 15–20%. The results showed that increasing microwave power led to higher release temperatures for CO and CO₂. Optimal gas production of 18.8 wt% (130 ml/g) was achieved at 600 ℃, 700 W.Adding 10–20% pyrolytic char can significantly increase the gas yield from pyrolysis, but has little effect on the composition of the produced gas. When the pyrolysis temperature is raised from 600 °C to 800 °C, there is a significant increase in both the hydrogen content and the volume of syngas. The volume of gas produced is 193 ml/g with 20% char addition at 800 °C.
