Abstract:

In order to study the pyrolytic mechanism of flax fiber at high temperature, the thermal kinetic analysis of pure flax fiber pyrolysis was firstly conducted under non-isothermal conditions in this paper. Initially, the pyrolytic properties of flax fiber were explored by thermogravimetric experiments at four heating rates. Then, the distribution of activation energy with conversion was calculated through six model-free methods, and the reaction model categories corresponding to different reaction stages were determined by two model-fitting methods. After combining the kinetic compensation effect analysis, the reaction model function of flax fiber pyrolysis was optimized and reconstructed. After that, the accuracy of the function was evaluated by model independence analysis. Finally, the pyrolytic products of flax fiber were summarized through mass spectrometry. The results indicated that the main reaction stage of flax fiber could be regarded as one independent sub-reaction, whose temperature interval was located in the pyrolysis temperature range of hemicellulose, cellulose, lignin and other components. The reaction mechanism of the main reaction stage was closer to F-series model. The reconstructed function demonstrated high fitting degree and reasonable accuracy. The pyrolysis products of flax fiber mainly contained 11 kinds of organic compounds, including aldehydes and olefin, etc.
