A study of densified biochar as carbon source in the silicon and ferrosilicon production
2019
Abstract Biochar pellets were investigated as renewable reducing agents in substitution of coal and coke in the silicon and ferrosilicon production, where a high reactivity, good mechanical properties and low feedstock costs are appreciated. The usage of pyrolysis oil as binder was investigated as way to improve the quality of the pellets. Norway spruce biochar produced at 500, 800 and 1100 °C, was pelletized blended with pyrolysis oil and lignosulphonate. A second heat treatment was carried out at the same temperatures to evaluate the interaction between biochar and pyrolysis oil and to imitate the thermal stability of the pellets when used in a furnace. Density, tensile strength and mecha…
Effect of some additives on the reactions in fly ASH-Ca(OH)2system
2004
Differential thermal analysis and thermogravimetry were used to evaluate the effect of some additives, such as CaSO4, CaCl2 and silica fume amorphous silica from ferrosilicon synthesis on the mechanism and kinetics of reactions occurring in fly ash-Ca(OH)2 system. The accelerating role of these additives was demonstrated from the data relating to Ca(OH)2 consumption in hydrated pastes, determined by TG measurements.
