Abstract
Slow pyrolysis behaviour of different mid-european wood samples is compared with bamboo samples by thermogravimetric analysis (TG) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC).
Significant differences in the heat of reaction during the main pyrolysis stage were observed for the coniferous wood and the bamboo samples. To investigate a potentially catalytic effect of inorganic constituents on bamboo pyrolysis, the corresponding ashes were chemically analyzed, and spruce samples were impregnated with selected salts and subsequently subjected to thermal analysis.
The results provide indications that sodium and potassium ions and/or chloride ions may indeed catalyze the pyrolysis process in bamboo.
