Mechanistic Investigation into Bed Agglomeration during Biomass Fast Pyrolysis in a Fluidized-Bed Reactor

This paper demonstrates that during the pyrolysis of mallee leaf (355-500 µm) in a fluidized-bed reactor (bed materials: silica sand, 125-355 µm) at 300-700 °C, bed agglomeration takes place due to the formation of char-char and/or char-sand agglomerates connected by carbon-enriched necks. There are...
