In this work, various wood biomasses were used to determine the combustion characteristics for the fuel of cogeneration plant. Combustion of three types, i.e., wood chip, wood pellet, and palm kernel shell, was examined using thermal gravimetric analyzer in air atmosphere and coal was used as comparison group. From the TGA results, the activation energy of the wood biomass decreased with chemical and physical treatments. These results indicated the higher combustion initiation rate of wood biomass due to the high content of volatile matter, which had a low boiling point and the removal of impurity by pretreatment. |
