Dielectric and physico-chemical behavior of single thermally thick wood blocks under microwave assisted pyrolysis

Pyrolysis of thermally thick beech wood blocks with a size of around 2.5 × 8 × 6 cm3(width × length × height)was carried out in a lab scale microwave reactor with a frequency of 2.45 GHz,operated,both,at 300 W and 600 W under inert conditions,using N2 at around 400 mbar absolute pressure.The microwave cavity had a size of 20 × 20 × 20 cm3.The specific energy supply referred to the untreated wood block was 4-8 W/g,with slight variations depending on the initial water content.The mass loss and the reflected microwave power were in-situ monitored during the experiments.The sample surface and chamber temperatures were measured with a pyrometer and a thermocouple,respectively.Physico-chemical and dielectric properties of the produced solids were investigated and compared to those of chars produced under conventional pyrolysis using the same raw materials.It is shown that the complex dielectric permittivity of the solid products changed drastically during the pyrolysis process,with increasing heating properties as the conversion process evolved.This was easily achieved using 600 W without susceptors.However,300 W was not enough to achieve a high conversion degree,independently of the irradiation time.This,together with the physico-chemical analyses of the solids,hinted to the importance of the transport kinetics in thermally thick materials,although further investigation is still required.
