The pyrolysis mechanics of Phenolic Impregnated Carbon Ablators (PICA) makes it a valued material for use in thermal protection systems for spacecraft atmospheric re-entry. The present study of the interaction of pyrolysis gases and char with plasma gases in the boundary layer over PICA and its substrate, FiberForm, extends previous work on this topic that has been done in the UVM 30 kW Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) Torch Facility. Exposure of these material samples separately to argon, nitrogen, oxygen, air, and carbon dioxide plasmas, and combinations of said test gases provides insight into the evolution of the pyrolysis gases as they react with the different environments. Measurements done to date include time-resolved absolute emission spectroscopy, location-based temperature response, flow characterization of temperature, enthalpy, and enthalpy flux, and more recently, spatially resolved and high-resolution emission spectroscopy, all of which provide measure of the characteristics of the pyrolysis chemistry and material response. Flow characterization tests construct an general knowledge of the test condition temperature, composition, and enthalpy. Tests with relatively inert argon plasmas established a baseline for the pyrolysis gases that leave the material. Key pyrolysis species such as CN Violet bands, NH, OH and Hydrogen Alpha (Hα) lines were seen with relative repeatability in temporal, spectral, and intensity values. Tests with incremental addition, and static mixtures, of reactive plasmas provided a preliminary image of how the gases interacted with atmospheric flows and other pyrolysis gases. Evidence of a temporal relationship between NH and Hα relating to nitrogen addition is seen, as well as a similar relationship between OH and Hα in oxygen based environments. Temperature analysis highlighted the reaction of the material to various flow conditions and displayed the in depth material response to argon and air/argon plasmas. The development of spatial emission analysis has been started with the hope of better resolving the previously seen pyrolysis behavior in time and space.

Les déchets de bois traités représentent 27% du gisement des déchets dangereux en France. Ces déchets sont incinérés dans des installations classées pour la protection de l’environnement (ICPE). Néanmoins, leur incinération nécessite des équipements robustes et coûteux pour le lavage des gaz et des fumées toxiques. Dans ce contexte, le présent travail a pour objectif d’élaborer et de mette en oeuvre d’autres voies de valorisation énergétique des déchets de bois traités par des procédés thermochimiques. Pour cela, les procédés de pyrolyse et d’hydroliquéfaction ont été mis en oeuvre principalement pour la valorisation énergétique des déchets de bois traités aux sels de CCB (cuivre-chrome-bore) qui représentent 8750 tonnes/an en France. Le bois imprégné de sels de CCB dans nos laboratoires conformément au traitement industriel, a été étudié afin de maîtriser le bilan des métaux dans les différents produits de pyrolyse et d’hydroliquéfaction. Une étude préliminaire de son comportement thermique a été menée par analyse thermogravimétrique dans le but de déterminer l’intervalle de température effectif à sa dégradation massique. Dans cet intervalle de température, les paramètres expérimentaux de pyrolyse lente ont été optimisés pour piéger les métaux dans le charbon. Par la suite, une étude paramétrique par la méthode des plans d’expérience a été réalisée pour la conversion du charbon en bio-huile. De plus, l’optimisation de l’hydroliquéfaction pour la conversion du bois traité en bio-huile a été effectuée. Les résultats montrent que les métaux initialement présents dans le bois traité sont répartis entre la bio-huile et le coke quelque soit la voie de valorisation énergétique empruntée (hydroliquéfaction/pyrolyse+hydroliquéfaction). Cependant la bio-huile présente des caractéristiques proches de celles des biodiesels. L’utilisation de catalyseur au cours de l’hydroliquéfaction du charbon de pyrolyse améliore non seulement la qualité de la bio-huile mais aussi le bilan d’énergie sur le procédé. / The amount of treated-wood waste was estimated to 27% of the deposit of hazardous waste in France. These wastes are incinerated in specials incineration plants “installations classées pour la protection de l’environnement”. However, incineration produces harmful residues and contaminated gases released into the atmosphere inevitably. In this context, this work aims to develop and implement other ways of energy recovery from treated-wood waste using thermo-chemical processes. For this, the pyrolysis and hydroliquefaction processes were performed for energy recovery from CCB treated wood waste (copper-chromium-boron) representing 8750 t / year in France. Natural wood were impregnated with salts of CCB in our laboratories according to industrial processing to control the balance of metals in pyrolysis and hydroliquefaction products. A preliminary study was carried out by thermogravimetric analysis in order to determine the temperature range for effective mass degradation of CCB treatedwood. In this temperature range, the experimental parameters of slow pyrolysis have been optimized to concentrate metals in charcoal. Subsequently, a parametric study was conducted by the method of experimental design for the conversion of coal into bio-oil. In addition, the optimization of the conversion hydroliquefaction treated wood into bio-oil was performed. The results show that the metals initially present in the treated wood are divided between the bio-oil and coke whatever the processes energy recovery used (hydroliquefaction / pyrolysis + hydroliquefaction). However, the immediate characteristics of bio-oil and biodiesel are quite similar. The use of catalyst during charcoal conversion improves the quality of the bio-oil but also the energy balance of the process.

One of the greatest challenges of human today is to provide the continuous and sustainable energy supply to the worldwide society. This shall be done while minimizing all the negative consequences of the operation(s) to the environment and its living habitants including human beings, taking from the whole life cycle perspective. In this thesis work new solutions for treatment biomass and waste are analyzed.   Based on the fundamental research on the conversion of various materials (biomass: straw pellets, wood pellets; and waste: plastic waste, ASR residues after pyrolysis), converted by means of different systems (pyrolysis in a fluidized bed reactor, gasification in a fixed-bed reactor using highly preheated agents) it is recommended to classify materials against their charring properties under pyrolysis, in order to find the best destination for a given type of fuel.    Based on phenomenological research it was found that one of the important effects, affecting performance of downdraft gasifiers, is the pressure drop through the bed and grate. It affects, directly, the velocity profile, temperature distribution and of the height of the bed, especially for the grate with restricted passage surface, although it was not investigated in literature. The lower grate porosity, the higher conversion of fuel and heating value of gas is produced. However, the stability of the process is disturbed; therefore reducing the grate porosity below 20% is not recommended, unless the system is designed to overtake the consequences of the rising pressure inside the reactor. This work proposed the method for prediction of a total pressure drop through the fixed-bed downdraft gasifier equipped with a grate of certain porosity with an uncertainty of prediction ±7.10.     Three systems have been proposed; one for the treatment of automotive shredder residue (ASR), one for the treatment of plastic waste (polyolefins) and one for biomass (wood/straw pellets). Pyrolysis is an attractive mean of conversion of non-charring materials (like plastic waste) into valuable hydrocarbons feedstock. It gives directly 15-30% gaseous olefins while the residue consisting of naphtha-like feedstock has to be reformed/upgraded to olefins or other chemicals (e.g. gasoline generation) using available petrochemical technologies. Pyrolysis of complex waste mixture such as ASR is an attractive waste pretreatment method before applying any further treatments, whereby useful products are generated (gaseous and liquid fuel) and char, rich in precious metals. The solid residues are meant for further treatment for energy and metals recovery. Gasification is a complementary method for handling pyrolysis residues. However, metals can be removed before gasification. Pyrolysis of charring materials, like biomass, is a very important step in thermo-chemical conversion. However, the char being approximately 25%wt. contains still very high caloric value of about 30MJ/kg. This in connection with the High Temperature Steam Gasification process is a very promising technology for biomass treatment, especially, above 900oC. This enhances the heat transfer towards the sample and accelerates kinetics of the gasification. This, in turn, improves the conversion of carbon to gas, increases the yield of the producer gas and reduces tar content. At higher steam to fuel ratio the process increases the yield of hydrogen, making it suitable for second-generation biofuels synthesis, whereas at lower steam to fuel ratio (S/F&lt;2) the generated gas is of high calorific value making it suitable for power generation in a combined cycle. / <p>QC 20110607</p>

Ph.D. / This work presents a detailed study of the synthesis of carbon nanotubes and nanospheres by nebulised spray pyrolysis. This method has been used by other workers mainly for preparation of sub-micron particles and the deposition of thin films on various substrates. The effect of various synthesis parameters including the temperature, choice of the carbon source and the metal precursor as well as the carrier gas flow rate on the selectivity of the reaction and the properties of the carbon nanotubes produced was investigated. A major part of this work was devoted to a study of the effects of the addition of small quantities of oxygencontaining compounds (alcohols, esters and aldehydes) to the reaction mixture. The products were analysed using various methods including TEM, SEM, Laser- Raman spectroscopy and HRTEM. Furthermore, the possible use of carbon nanotubes and carbon nanospheres as supports for palladium in the hydrogenation of ethylene was investigated. Nebulised spray pyrolysis proved to be a suitable technique for the synthesis of well graphitized carbon nanotubes and carbon nanospheres with uniform diameters and it was demonstrated that good control of the carbon nanotube properties could be achieved by controlling the synthesis parameters. Better graphitization of the carbon nanotubes was observed at higher temperatures. Ferrocene, iron pentacarbonyl, nickelocene and cobaltocene were successfully used in carbon nanotube synthesis with the last two producing carbon nanotubes with diameters close to those on single-walled carbon nanotubes. Toluene (with and without acetylene as a supplementary carbon source), benzene, mesitylene, xylene and nhexane were successfully used to produce carbon nanotubes with a high degree of alignment while no success was achieved with ethanol. The poor yields obtained with ethanol appear to be a consequence of chemical changes in the ethanol induced by exposure to ultrasound irradiation. On the other hand, low concentrations of methyl acetate and ethyl acetate appear to enhance the production of carbon nanotubes. It was demonstrated that carbon nanotubes and nanospheres are suitable for use as supports for palladium in the hydrogenation of ethylene. Pd particles of uniform size were obtained and the conversion rates were slightly higher when the carbon nanotubes were pre-treated with a mixture of sulphuric acid and nitric acid.

Les procédés industriels de fabrication de composites carbone/carbone consistent en la densification d’un substrat poreux (préforme) par dépôt de précurseurs gazeux. L’objectif de ce travail a été de développer et valider un mécanisme cinétique détaillé modélisant les réactions hétérogènes de dépôt de pyrocarbone par pyrolyse de propane. Les expérimentations ont été réalisées en utilisant un dispositif adapté à l’étude cinétique de réactions hétéro-homogènes. Des analyses par chromatographie ont permis de doser 29 espèces gazeuses, la vitesse de dépôt étant déterminée par pesée. Nous avons étudié l’influence des paramètres opératoires suivants : température (900-1050°C ); temps de passage (0,5-4 s), ratio S/V (20-170 cm-1) et composition de l’alimentation du réacteur (ajout d’hydrogène, acétylène et benzène). Le mécanisme hétérogène est constitué de 275 processus élémentaires impliquant 66 sites de surface. Les paramètres cinétiques des réactions de surface ont été estimés par analogie avec des réactions gazeuses « prototypes ». Les simulations ont été réalisées en utilisant Chemkin Surface. Le modèle permet de prédire de manière quantitative la vitesse de dépôt ainsi que les fractions molaires des principales espèces gazeuses. Les fractions molaires en espèces minoritaires sont reproduites de manière semi-quantitative. L’analyse de flux a montré que le pyrocarbone est principalement formé par dépôt de radicaux méthyles et de petites espèces insaturées (acétylène, éthylène) dans nos conditions opératoires / Industrial Carbon/Carbon composite manufacturing processes consist in the densification of a porous substrate (preform) by deposition of gaseous precursors. The aim of this work was to develop and validate a detailed kinetic mechanism modeling heterogeneous reactions of pyrocarbon deposition by propane pyrolysis. Experiments were carried out using an experimental set-up appropriate for studying the kinetics of hetero-homogeneous reactions. Chromatographic analysis were performed to quantify 29 gas phase species, the deposition rate being measured by weighing. We studied the influence of the following experimental parameters: temperature (900-1050°C), residence time (0.5-4 s), S/V ratio (20-170 cm-1) and composition of the reactor inlet (addition of hydrogen, acetylene and benzene). The heterogeneous mechanism contains 275 surface elementary steps involving 66 surface sites. Kinetic parameters of surface reactions were estimated by analogy with gas phase “prototype” reactions. Simulations were carried out using the Surface Chemkin package. The model is efficient to quantitatively predict the deposition rate as well as the mole fractions of major gas phase species. The mole fractions of minor species are semi-quantitatively predicted. The flow rate analysis demonstrates that the pyrocarbon is mostly formed by deposition of methyl radicals and small unsaturated species (acetylene, ethylene) in our experimental conditions

Parce que les ressources fossiles sont épuisables par définition, le carbone nécessaire à la production d'énergie et de matériaux pourrait provenir en grande partie de la biomasse lignocellulosique. Les procédés de fermentation sont capables de fournir une grande variété de produits d'intérêts capables de remplacer les synthons d'origine pétrolière. Cependant, en raison (i) de son caractère insoluble, (ii) de sa structure plus ou moins cristalline et (iii) de la nature des liaisons entre les maillons du polymère, la cellulose est un substrat carboné difficile à valoriser par voie biochimique/fermentaire seule. La pyrolyse rapide ou la liquéfaction de la cellulose sont principalement étudiées pour produire une bio-huile, qui serait valorisée par hydrotraitement catalytique en carburant ou en building blocks. Dans l'état de l'art actuel, les travaux à l'interface de ces deux domaines portant sur une conversion biochimique ou microbiologique de ces bio-huiles sont encore rares. L’objectif de cette thèse est de coupler un procédé de conversion thermochimique de la cellulose, pour la dépolymériser, à un procédé de transformation microbienne pour produire des solvants, des acides et des gaz (butanol, éthanol, acétone, acide acétique, acide butyrique, acide lactique, hydrogène) qui suscitent un fort intérêt dans l’industrie des carburants ou de la chimie verte. Pour ce faire, le bois de hêtre a été fractionné par les méthodes organosolv et chlorite/acide (SC/AA) afin de récupérer une pâte riche en cellulose. Des procédés de liquéfaction hydrothermale et de pyrolyse rapide ont été utilisés pour obtenir des sucres qui ont été finalement transformés par fermentation en synthons. De nombreuses méthodes analytiques ont été développées pour la caractérisation des produits issus de chaque étape du procédé. Enfin, un modèle du procédé utilisant le logiciel commercial Aspen Plus® a été développé pour établir les bilans de matière et énergie du procédé intégré : du fractionnement du bois, puis la liquéfaction de la fraction cellulosique et à la fermentation des bio-huiles / Because fossil resources are exhaustible by definition, the carbon needed for energy and materials production could be obtained from lignocellulosic biomass. Fermentation processes are able to provide a wide variety of interesting products that can replace the crude oil based "building blocks". However, the abundance of lignocellulosic biomass in the environment contrasts with its very low bioavailability. Indeed, because of (i) its insoluble nature, (ii) its more or less crystalline structure and (iii) the nature of the bonds between the polymer fibers, cellulose is a carbon substrate difficult to valorize by biochemical/fermentation processes alone. Fast pyrolysis or liquefaction of cellulose are mainly studied to produce a bio-oil, which would be upgraded by catalytic hydrotreatment into fuels or building blocks. In the current state of the art, studies at the interface of these two fields involving a biochemical or microbiological conversion of these bio-oils are still rare. The aim of this thesis is the coupling of a thermochemical conversion process of cellulose, to depolymerize it, to a microbial transformation process to produce solvents, acids and gases (butanol, ethanol, acetone, acetic acid, butyric acid, lactic acid, hydrogen) that are of great interest for the fuel or green chemistry industry. To do this, beech wood was fractionated by organosolv and chlorite / acid (SC / AA) methods in order to recover a cellulose-rich pulp. Hydrothermal liquefaction and fast pyrolysis processes were used to obtain sugars that were transformed into building blocks by fermentation. Many analytical methods have been developed for the characterization of products from each step of the process. Finally, a model of the process using the commercial software Aspen Plus® was developed to establish mass and energy balances of the integrated process including: the fractionation of the wood, then the liquefaction of the cellulosic fraction and the fermentation of bio-oils

Os solos brasileiros, assim como aqueles localizados em regiões tropicais, possuem elevada capacidade de sorver fósforo (P) devido ao alto grau de intemperismo e consequente composição mineralógica da fração argila. Os fertilizantes solúveis possuem baixa eficiência em função da rápida adsorção aos minerais presentes nestes solos, como também precipitação com cátions em solução. Um componente do solo que pode diminuir a sorção de P é a matéria orgânica que atua na formação de complexos organominerais, inativando os sítios de adsorção dos minerais. Assim, a adição de biocarvão, um composto orgânico recalcitrante, mas que possui grupos reativos de superfície, pode contribuir na redução da sorção de P no solo. O objetivo do trabalho foi estudar o efeito de diferentes temperaturas de pirólise nas características químicas e adsortivas do biocarvão e disponibilidade e aproveitamento de fósforo do fertilizante aplicado no solo. Os biocarvões foram produzidos por pirólise do bagaço de cana-de-açúcar a 250, 450, 650 ºC e um carvão comercial de eucalipto foi utilizado como controle. Os biocarvões foram caracterizados quimicamente e agitados com soluções contendo diferentes doses de P para verificar o comportamento da adsorção de P (isoterma de adsorção). Após filtragem, os biocarvões retidos no filtro foram submetidos à espectroscopia no infravermelho médio. Foram realizados: (i) Um experimento de incubação, fatorial 4 x 2 x 2 + controle, utilizando um solo contendo 70 g kg-1 de argila, com os tratamentos: 4 tipos de biocarvão aplicados na dose de 10 g kg-1; dois níveis de pH (4,8 e 5,8) e dois níveis de adubação fosfatada (0 e 50 mg kg-1). As análises realizadas no solo foram pH em solução de CaCl2 e SMP, P disponível e P remanescente. (ii) Um experimento em casa-de-vegetação, fatorial 4 x 3 x 4, com cultivo de plantas de feijão avaliando os 4 tipos de biocarvão produzidos, 3 doses de cada biocarvão (0, 450 e 900 mg kg-1) aplicados na linha de semeadura e 4 doses de P (0, 25, 50 e 100 mg kg-1) aplicadas contato com o biocarvão na linha. Não houve adsorção de P pelos biocarvões avaliados. Os espectros de infravermelho e análise química mostram que o aumento da temperatura causa diminuição da acidez total, porém aumenta aromaticidade e superfície específica dos materiais. No experimento de incubação os solos que receberam biocarvões produzidos com bagaço de cana apresentaram maior P disponível e remanescente, por mecanismos diferentes. Enquanto o biocarvão produzido à 250 ºC promove a redução da adsorção por interações promovidas por grupos ácidos, os biocarvões com estruturas aromáticas formam complexos de ligações não covalentes com os minerais. O biocarvão pode ser um material importante na redução da sorção de fósforo e economia de fertilizantes, porém pesquisas adicionais devem ser realizadas a fim de estudar a influência da matéria-prima e forma de produção nas potencialidades de uso do produto obtido. / The Brazilian soils, as those from tropical environment, have high phosphorus (P) sorption capacity as a result of their weathering degree and consequently the mineralogical composition in the clay fraction. Soluble fertilizers have low efficiency since the fast adsorption occurs in mineral surfaces, as well as precipitation with cations in the soil solution. The organic matter acts decreasing P sorption in the soils after form organomineral complexes with minerals, by inactivation of adsorption sites. In this way, biochar that is a recalcitrant organic compost; however, contains surface reactive functional groups, can contribute decreasing soil P sorption. The aim of this work was to study the effect of different pyrolysis temperatures in biochar adsorption characteristics, P availability in the soil and plant P absorption from phosphate fertilizer. Biochars were produced by pyrolysis of sugarcane bagasse at 250, 450, 650 ºC and eucalyptus biochar was used as control treatment. Biochars were chemically characterized, and after mixed with solutions containing different P concentrations to study the P sorption behaviour (adsorption isotherm). After filtering, the biochars retained in the filters were undergoing to medium infrared spectroscopy. Were performed: (i) Incubation experiment, factorial 4 x 2 x 2 + control in a soil containing 70 g kg- 1 of clay, with the following treatments: the 4 biochar types cited above, applied at 10 g kg-1 rate; 2 pH levels (4,8 and 5,8) and 2 levels of phosphate fertilizer (0 and 50 mg kg-1). The soil pH (CaCl2 salt and SMP), available and remaining P were analysed. (ii) Greenhouse experiment was performed in 4 x 3 x 4 factorial scheme, with cultivation of common bean plants to evaluate the produced biochars; 3 biochar rates (0, 450 and 900 mg kg-1) were applied at the sowing line and 4 P rates (0, 25, 50 and 100 mg kg-1) added in the same line. The evaluated biochars do not adsorb P. Infrared spectroscopy and chemical analysis showed that increasing temperature resulted in a decreasing in the total acidity. However, occurred an increase in the aromaticity and specific surface of materials. Incubation experiment revealed that the soils which received biochar produced by sugarcane bagasse have greater available and remaining P, these influenced by different mechanisms. While biochar produced at 250 ºC promote adsorption reduction by interactions between biochar acid functional groups and mineral adsorption sites, biochars produced at high temperatures contain aromatic structures can complex minerals by noncovalent bonding. Biochar can be an important tool to reduce P sorption and increase the economy of fertilizers. However, further researches must be carried out to study the influence of feedstocks and pyrolysis technology in the potentiality of use of each biochar.
