Flame pyrolysis

The precipitation step may be replaced by spray drying of a homogeneously stirred solution of, e.g., nitrates [31], or by spraying the precursors into a very hot flame at about 1500-2200 °C. This method is called flame pyrolysis.

The hot gases and the char coming from the flaming pyrolysis zone provide the energy required. As these reactions proceed the temperature sinks progressively until it becomes so low (700 °C) that the reaction rates are insignificant. This means that the... 

The pyrolysis front moves towards the raw pellets, as a flame front, as already suggested by Reed et al. ". Flaming pyrolysis is a fast reaction at around 1(X)0 C and the length of this zone is relatively small and constant. Therefore, the zones will not move if the speed of this pyrolysis front matches the velocity of the bed moving down, in other words, if the pyrolysis rate is equal to the char consumption rate. 

If the pyrolysis rate is higher than the char consumption, then the pyrolysis front moves up (v/rei O) and the length of the char reduction zone increases If this is the case, the flaming pyrolysis front will climb indefinitely until it reaches the top of the bed and the drying zone almost disappears, Although such operation mode is stable, the radiation from the top of such bed is a significant heat loss. This operation mode is called Top stabilisation mode" and has been modelled by Di Blasi . 

The air excess ratio obtained for distributions (1) and (2) is about 0.4-0.45 while the distribution (3) has given a lower ratio (0.3). Distribution (3) also shows some differences on temperature profile like higher char gasification temperature. Fig. 7 shows the temperature profiles during two experiments one with distribution (1) and another with distribution (3) but both with approximately the same amount of air supplied. Profiles la, lb and Ic correspond to the same experiment, but with the pyrolysis from at different locations. The figure shows that the heat created during the flaming pyrolysis is used in a more efficient way with air distribution (3). 

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. 

In inverted (top burning) downdraft gasification air passes up through the fuel and meets the flaming pyrolysis zone where the reaction generates charcoal and fuel gas as shown in Fig. 1, ... 

The superficial velocity (SV) is defined as gas production rate/cross section and is measured in m/s, btu/fl2-hr, etc. It is an important figure of merit of gasifiers and combustors. Each device will have a maximum SV that it can operate at satisfactorily. In downdraft gasification the SV determines the intensity of the flaming pyrolysis reaction and so controls gas, charcoal and tar production. The World War II gasifiers typically operated at 0,1-1.0 m/s to produce low tar gas and consume most of the charcoal. ...

In this paper, we have presented test results of two methods of adhesion improvement on a specific aluminum alloy and a stainless steel. The methods are based on flame pyrolysis of silane precursors and a laser pretreatment in connection with a primer. While the first method seems to be most favorable for steel surfaces, the latter gives good results on both aluminum and steel. Both methods are well suited for application in the railroad industry since they are effective under atmospheric conditions and are therefore promising for integration in an automated production line.

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... 

The work done by Magnus was notable and notably difficult given the primitive tools available at the time. Prior to the 1600s, there were no mineral acids available. These acids (sulfuric, phosphoric, and hydrochloric acids) are needed to dissolve metals and minerals, a necessary step in any separation of an element from a solid matrix. The alternative was a technique based on flame pyrolysis in which extreme heat was used to selectively melt or volatilize elements. The method weis crude at best. However, heating was an integral part of the Marsh test, the first method that was successful in isolating arsenic from tissues.
