| Abstract | Pyrolysis and Ignition Behavior of Coal, Cattle Bio mass, and Coal/Cattle Biomass Blends. (December 2006) Brandon Ray Martin, B.S., University of Arkansas Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Kalyan Annamalai Increases in demand, lower emission standards, and reduced fuel supplies have fueled the recent effort to find new and better fue ls to power the necessary equipment for society’s needs. Often, the fuels chosen for resea ch re renewable fuels derived from biomass. Current research at Texas A&M University i focused on the effectiveness of using cattle manure biomass as a fuel source in con junction with coal burning utilities. The scope of this project includes fuel property an alysis, pyrolysis and ignition behavior characteristics, combustion modeling, emissions mod eling, small scale combustion experiments, pilot scale commercial combustion expe riments, and cost analysis of the fuel usage for both feedlot biomass and dairy bioma ss. This paper focuses on fuel property analysis and pyrolysis and ignition charac teristics of feedlot biomass. Deliverables include a proximate and ultimate analy sis, pyrolysis kinetics values, and ignition temperatures of four types of feedlot biom ass (low ash raw manure [LARM], low ash partially composted manure [LAPC], high ash raw manure [HARM], and high ash partially composted manure [HAPC]) as well as b lends of each biomass with Texas lignite coal (TXL). Activation energy results for pure samples of each fuel using the |
