 Characteristics of rice husk tar secondary thermal crackingMing Zhai, Xinyu Wang, Yu Zhang, Peng Dong, Guoli Qi and Yudong Huang Energy, 2015, vol. 93, issue P2, 1321-1327 Abstract: A two-stage fixed bed pyrolysis system for rice husk tar high-temperature thermal cracking was designed. Pyrolysis of rice husk and high-temperature thermal cracking of the rice husk tar were separated. High-temperature flue gas was used to promote rice husk pyrolysis, and then high-temperature secondary thermal cracking tar started in the high-temperature environment. The characteristics of secondary thermal cracking of rice husk tar were investigated. Results show that rice husk tar yield is 18 mg/kg of dry rice husk, or 11.7 mg/Nm3 at 1200 °C, and no tar is collected at 1300 °C. At the temperature of 1200 °C and residence time of 0.5 s, the rate of decline of tar reaches the maximum. The oxy-organics content in the tar at 700 °C reaches the maximum 24.5% and becomes zero at 1100 °C. The naphthalene content in the tar reaches the maximum 26.4% at 800 °C. With the increase in temperature, all the tar converts into non-condensable gas and char finally.
