Abstract

Given the global agenda of how to best meet carbon targets, how to scientifically and safely dispose post-harvest phytoremediation biomass on a large scale remains to be explored. This study sought to characterize the temperature-dependent ash-to-gas responses of the oxy-fuel (CO2/O2) and air (N2/O2) combustions of Pfaffia glomerata (PG). The two indices of thermal stability (RW) and comprehensive combustion (CCI) were weaker in oxy-fuel combustion, but with the oxy-fuel combustion reducing the activation energy required for the cellulose degradation from 290.07 to 98.83 kJ/mol. Both empirical indices and the SiO2–CaO–K2O method suggested that oxy-fuel combustion intensified the slagging and fouling risk. A combination of thermochemical equilibrium simulations and X-ray diffraction analysis verified the risk through ash-mineral transformations. The oxy-fuel conditions enhanced the stabilization of Zn in PG but without significant effect on Cd. The oxy-fuel combustion inhibited the formation of aromatics but enhanced the emission of gases, such as CO, CH4, C–O, CO, HCl, and SO2. The optimal conditions in terms of energy efficiency and reduced emissions were achieved between 522 and 1000 °C in the oxy-fuel atmosphere. This study can provide new insights into eco-friendly disposal options for soil remediation biomass in modern combustion systems.
