Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is a new technology suitable for classification of various materials. This paper proposes a hybrid classification scheme for coal, municipal sludge and biomass by using LIBS combined with K-means and support vector machine (SVM) algorithm. In the study, 10 samples were classified in 3 groups without supervision by K-means clustering, then a further supervised classification of 6 kinds of biomass samples by SVM was carried out. The results show that the comprehensive accuracy of the hybrid classification model is over 98%. In comparison with the single SVM classification model, the hybrid classification model can save 58.92% of operation time while guaranteeing the accuracy. The results demonstrate that the hybrid classification model is able to make an efficient, fast and accurate classification of coal, municipal sludge and biomass, furthermore, it is precise for the detection of various kinds of biomass fuel.

Effect of gasification reactions on biomass char conversion under pulverized fuel combustion conditions

Hao Luo, Zhimin Lu, Peter Arendt Jensen, Peter Glarborg, Weigang Lin, Kim Dam-Johansen, Hao Wu

Summary: The impact of gasification reactions on biomass char conversion was studied through single particle experiments and modeling. It was found that char oxidation is limited by mass transfer, while char gasification is controlled by both mass transfer and gasification kinetics. Sensitivity analysis revealed that CO oxidation and gasification kinetics significantly influence char conversion time.

Effect of oxidative torrefaction on high temperature combustion process of wood sphere

Xin Li, Zhimin Lu, Jinzheng Chen, Xiaoxuan Chen, Yuan Jiang, Jie Jian, Shunchun Yao

Summary: The study demonstrates that oxidative torrefaction (OT) affects the combustion process of wood spheres, increasing char yield and combustion time while forming a more cross-linked aromatic structure that hinders volatile release, resulting in denser and heavier char particles. The findings suggest that mass yield serves as a good indicator for both OT and traditional inert torrefaction processes.

Summary: A synergistic method based on LIBS and NIRS is proposed for optimal coal proximate analysis. The ash and moisture content are analyzed separately, and then the fusion data from LIBS and NIRS are used to analyze the calorific value and volatile matter. The fixed carbon content is calculated by subtracting the mass percentages of ash, moisture, and volatile matter. The results show that the proposed method achieves good quantitative performance for coal proximate analysis.
