Question: 2 . In a biomass pyrolysis process, 1 0 0 5 kg of wood chips containing 4 6 % moisture ( by weight ) is
In a biomass pyrolysis process, kg of wood chips containing moisture by weight is fed into sequential processes. Initially, all of the moisture content was removed in a dryer at deg C
In the second step, a reactor for pyrolysis is used. The pyrolysis reaction produces three main products: biochar, biooil, and offgas. The composition of these products is as follows: Biochar: of the feedstock mass; Biooil: of the feedstock mass; Off gas: the remaining feedstock mass.
The onethird of the Biochar is used as fertilizer in agricultural applications. The remaining part is sent to a furnace for the graphitization process, which is conducted at deg C for hours under an Argon atmosphere. It is known that the yield of the final process is
Using the information above,
a Draw a flowsheet with details denoting the amounts, streams, and units in accordance with their functions.
b Mass of moisture in the feedstock.
c Mass of dry wood chips fed into the Pyrolysis reactor.
d Mass of each pyrolysis product biochar biooil, and offgas produced.
e Total mass of Pyrolysis products.
f Mass percentage of each product relative to the total mass of pyrolysis products
g Mass of finally obtained graphite.v
