Abstract
A drop-tube furnace with a novel double-tube configuration was successfully developed to directly determine char yields during the pyrolysis of a wide range of solid fuels (mallee wood; mallee leaf; rice husk; biosolid; and subbituminous, bituminous, and anthracite coal) at a gas temperature of 1573 K. The char yield from pyrolysis of mallee wood and mallee leaf is 85%. This study shows using total ash as ash tracer results in 45–220% overestimation of char yields for biomass fuels and 13–27% for coals due to partial evaporation of ash. Similarly, selecting Na and K results in overestimation of biomass char yields by at least 2.5 times and selecting P leads...
