description Pyrolysis, combustion and gasification processes of six different types of biomass, which were obtained from Mexico (Castor husk, Castor stem, Agave bagasse, Coffee pulp, Opuntia stem and Pinus sawdust) were investigated by means of thermogravimetric analysis coupled with mass spectrometry (TG-MS). The selection of biomass, for each thermochemical process, depended on its main physico-chemical properties (moisture content, volatile matter, fixed carbon, ash content, calorific value, mineral content, etc.). For pyrolysis processes, the desirable characteristics of biomass are high volatile matter and low ash content. For combustion processes, the biomass has to show high low heating value (LHV) and low ash content. In the case of gasification processes, the biomass ought to have high fixed carbon. Pinus sawdust had the highest volatile matter and the lowest ash content, Castor stem showed the highest LHV and Coffee pulp had the highest fixed carbon content. The pyrolysis process was divided in three main stages (dehydration, devolatilization and char formation). Moreover, for Agave bagasse two more peaks at high temperature were found due to the decomposition of lignin and cellulose but it could also be related to its high mineral content. On the other hand, three main different stages (dehydration, devolatilization and char oxidation) for the combustion process were found. It is noticeable that Coffee pulp showed one more peak than other studied biomasses, which is related to its high lignin content. Due to its high heat released, Castor husk could be considered as the best candidate for combustion process. However, Pinus sawdust can be considerate more suitable for this process because of its low amount of NOx released. In addition, for gasification process the effect of the gas flow was studied. Coffee pulp resulted to be the most suitable for gasification process due to the amount and quality of the fuel gas produced.

La selección de la biomasa, para cada proceso termoquímico , dependió de sus principales propiedades físico-químicas (contenido de humedad, materia volátil, carbono fijo, contenido de cenizas, poder calorífico , contenido mineral, etc.). Para los procesos de pirólisis, las características deseables de la biomasa son alta materia volátil y bajo contenido de cenizas. Para los procesos de combustión, la biomasa tiene que mostrar altabajo poder calorífico (LHV) y bajo contenido de cenizas. En el caso de los procesos de gasificación, la biomasa debe tener un alto contenido de carbono fijo. El aserrín de pinotuvo la materia volátil más alta y el contenido de ceniza más bajo, el tallo de ricino mostró el LHV más alto y la pulpa de café tuvo el contenido de carbono fijo más alto. El proceso de pirólisis se dividió en tres etapas principales (deshidratación,desvolatilizacióny formación de carbón). Además, paraAgaveEn el bagazo se encontraron dos picos más a alta temperatura debido a la descomposición de la lignina y la celulosa pero también podría estar relacionado con su alto contenido mineral. Por otro lado, se encontraron tres etapas principales diferentes (deshidratación, desvolatilización y oxidación del carbón) para el proceso de combustión. Se destaca que la pulpa de café presentó un pico más que otras biomasas estudiadas, lo cual está relacionado con su alto contenido de lignina. Debido a su alto calor liberado, la cáscara de ricino podría considerarse como el mejor candidato para el proceso de combustión. Sin embargo, el aserrín de Pinus puede considerarse más adecuado para este proceso debido a su baja cantidad de NO xpublicado. Además, para el proceso de gasificación se estudió el efecto del flujo de gas. La pulpa de café resultó ser la más adecuada para el proceso de gasificación debido a la cantidad y calidad del gas combustible producido.Elsevier202220222017info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10578/29732reponame:RUIdeRA.
