Abstract

Bio-oil is produced as a promising fuel for improving the economics of biomass. However, bio-oil utilizations suffer from challenges due to its complex compositions. In this research three bio-oil samples (BSR, BPA and BFT) were blended with coal/char to prepare slurries as biofuels. The thermogravimetric analysis of combustion and ash compositions of biofuels were investigated. Results showed that bio-oils have more weight loss peaks than coal/char, and the Tm is concentrated in the range from 476.4 °C to 495.2 °C, which are much lower than char. The contribution of coal/char and bio-oils to biofuel blendings can be clearly seen in the combustion profiles. There is a synergistic effect between bio-oils and coal/char improving the combustion performance. Tb of lignite BSR slurry reduced up to around 40 °C in comparison with lignite. The temperature range for combustion became narrow. By blending BSR, the Ea of lignite, long flame coal and char reduced 5.65 kJ mol−1, 13.56 kJ mol−1 and 6.31 kJ mol−1, respectively. Lignite BSR slurry with the lowest activation energy presented best combustion characteristics among all biofuels. The improved performance may attribute to AAEMs contained in bio-oil and microexplosions occurred in combustion, and AAEMs also help form lower fusion temperature of ashes.
