Pyrolysis Characteristics of Biomass Impregnated with Cadmium, Copper and Lead: Influence and Distribution

It is critical to dispose and reuse metal-contaminated biomass. In this study, pyrolysis technology was used for processing metal contaminated biomass from Arundo donax and Broussonetia papyrifera impregnated with cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu) and lead (Pb). The results showed that metal-impregnated biomass can be pyrolyzed completely, as confirmed by a thermal gravimetric analyzer analysis. From the start to 200 °C, a dehydration reaction occurred....
