Biomass fast pyrolysis is emerging as a front-running approach for the generation of renewable chemical and fuel resources. The pyrolysis temperature, solid- and gas-phase residence times, and biomass particle size and type have a substantial impact on char, oil, and gas yields. A laboratory-scale fast pyrolysis technique was demonstrated using manufactured biomass microspheres. A unique single-particle (∼10 μg) microreactor technology coupled to a millisecond response flame ionization detector was used to investigate the effects of relevant particle and process parameters and to capture the dynamics of real-time microscale single-particle pyrolysis for the first time. The manufactured biomass microspheres were produced by spray-drying finely milled microcrystalline cellulose, switchgrass (Panicum virgatum), and tall fescue straw (Festuca arundinacea) flour.

使用新型微粒微反应器方法进行生物质快速热解：粒径，生物质类型和温度的影响

生物质快速热解作为一种可再生的化学和燃料资源产生的前沿方法正在兴起。热解温度，固相和气相停留时间以及生物质的粒径和类型对焦炭，石油和天然气的收率有很大影响。使用制造的生物质微球证明了实验室规模的快速热解技术。独特的单颗粒（〜10μg）微反应器技术与毫秒响应火焰电离检测器结合使用，以研究相关颗粒和工艺参数的影响，并首次捕获实时微尺度单颗粒热解的动力学。通过喷雾干燥细磨的微晶纤维素，柳枝（（Panicum virgatum）和高羊茅草（Festuca arundinacea）面粉。
