Pyrolysis combustion flame

Effects on Combustion Toxicology. There appears to be no documented case of any type of fine retardant contributing to human fine casualties. A survey of data from small-scale combustion or pyrolysis experiments revealed no consistent pattern of decrease or increase in the yields of toxic gases (CO, HCN) when phosphoms flame retardants were present (152,153). 

Figure 20, a magnitude schematic view of zone 1 in Fig. 19, depicts this effect. These exothermic oxidative reactions in zone 1 can release sufficient heat to expel partially combusted products, pyrolysis products, and fuel and oxidizer fragments into the gas phase, where they can intermix and burn completely. The maximum flame temperature will then be reached in the luminous zone, where the largest portion of the heat is released. However, a relatively...

In conventional downdraft gasifiers, air passes down through the fuel mass, then in the flaming pyrolysis zone bums the volatiles and tars while making charcoal and pyrolysis gas. The charcoal then further reduces the CO2 and H2O combustion products back to CO and H2 fuel. 

For quantitative determination of the rate and the amount of heat release, we have developed a method based on complete combustion of the volatiles on a platinum catalyst and measurement of amount of oxygen required (J8). The required oxygen is generated by a reaction coulometer (Figure 27) and is related to the heat of combustion as shown in Figure 28. As discussed in Chapter 14, the amount of combustible, volatile pyrolysis products formed and the rate of heat release may be reduced drastically by the addition of flame retardants.

The flammability of a polymer is an interaction of pyrolysis, ignition, combustion, flame propagation, and flame extinction processes. The processes are brought about by the heat exposure of the polymer. Pyrolysis is an endothermic process and involves softening, melting, discoloration, cracking, decompositirai, vaporization, etc. of the polymer and release of pyrolysis products. The boundary of the pyrolysis process on the surface of the polymer is defined as the pyrolysis front. Pyrolysis process is also defined as the gasification of the polymer. 

The GC-IRMS technique is based on the separation of complex organic mixtures on a capillary GC column. A splitter at the end of the GC column sends >95% of the sample to a combustion or pyrolysis tube. The remainder is sent to an optional flame ionization detector (FID), ion trap MS, or vented to the atmosphere. 

As was shown in Figure 6.9, combustion begins with flaming pyrolysis, which is an endothermic reaction requiring initial heat to proceed when the fuel particle, whether liquid droplets or pulverized, reaches a certain threshold temperature. This is followed by the...

Referring to Fig. 7.20, the solid particles are ignited and the resultant flame front is made to move progressively downward in the z direction. As the solid particles are brought into contact with the hot gas, both combustion and pyrolysis may occur the vapor products of pyrolysis may be burned in the gas space if the gas with which it is in contact is hot enough and contains a sufficient amount of oxygen. Alternatively, the pyrolysis products may escape from the system unburned, which would be undesirable in a real system, because it would cause air pollution.
