Effects of pyrolysis temperature and heating time on biochar obtained from the pyrolysis of straw and lignosulfonate
Abstract
In this study, the effects of pyrolysis temperature and heating time on the yield and physicochemical and morphological properties of biochar obtained from straw and lignosulfonate were investigated. As pyrolysis temperature increased, pH, ash content, carbon stability, and total content of carbon increased while biochar yield, volatile matter, total content of hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and sulfur decreased. The data from scanning electron microscope image and nuclear magnetic resonance spectra indicated an increase in porosity and aromaticity of biochar produced at a high temperature. The results showed that feedstock types could also influence characteristics of the biochar with absence of significant effect on properties of biochar for heating time.

The lower sulfur and hydrogen contents can be ascribed to volatilization of organic sulfur and breaking of some hydrogen bonds during dehydration during microwave irradiation.
“This can be ascribed to the volatilization of organic sulfur content (Zhang et al. 2015), and some of the hydrogen bonds were broken during the dehydration process during microwave irradiation (Devi and Saroha 2015a).”

High pyrolysis temperature leads to increased biochar surface area, higher pH, and higher %C content but lower %N content.
“Numerous studies reported that high pyrolysis temperature led to increased biochar surface area (Ahmad et al., 2012; Zhang et al., 2015), higher pH (Hossain et al., 2011), %C content but lower %N content (Zhang et al., 2017).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
