  1. BIOMASS COMBUSTION STUDY:Model Compounds of Lignin Pyrolysis Sandor Rosta Advisor: John W. Daily Ph.D University of Colorado, Boulder Department of Mechanical Engineering MCEN 5208 10.13.04 1/6

  2. MOTIVATION • Combustion Chemistry of Biomass Gasification • Applications in: • Wildland Fire • Energy Generation MCEN 5208 10.13.04 2/6

  3. BACKGROUND • Biomass Materials • Composite of Organic Polymers • Cellulose • Hemicellulose • Lignin • Extractables • Pyrolysis • Heating in the absence of oxygen • Different compounds decompose differently MCEN 5208 10.13.04 3/6

  4. LIGNIN • Second Most abundant organic substance on earth • Amorphous Polymeric Material • Makes up 20-40% mature wood tissue • Provides strength and durability • Protects plants against microorganisms MCEN 5208 10.13.04 4/6

  5. SHORT TERM GOALS • Identify Compounds associated with Lignin pyrolysis • Determine Model Compounds • Analyze the products that are formed when those compounds are burned • Chemkin MCEN 5208 10.13.04 5/6

  6. LONG TERM GOALS • Burn synthetic fuels in air • Measure the formed products • Gas chromatography • Stable species • Laser spectroscopy • Radical species MCEN 5208 10.13.04 6/6
