Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of new energy preparation, and particularly relates to a multi-band mixed light heating program-controlled thermogravimetric reaction system and a testing method thereof. Background Art

[0002] In the past few decades, with the rapid growth of the global population and the improvement of the industrialization level, the energy demand has increased rapidly. The use of a large amount of fossil fuels has caused severe environmental problems. In recent years, China has attached great importance to the global environmental pollution problem and put forward policies such as the "dual carbon strategy". Solar energy is the most important renewable energy, with huge total amount, wide distribution, clean and pollution-free, and can be directly developed and utilized. Coal is still the main energy consumed in China, and its efficient and clean use and low-carbon utilization of resources are important research directions at present. Biomass is considered to be the most promising energy to solve the greenhouse effect. Efficient utilization of this ubiquitous energy can effectively alleviate the increasingly severe environmental problems. Solar gasification technology refers to the process of converting raw materials into high-quality product gas by chemical means under the drive of solar energy, which is one of the important technologies for biomass utilization.

[0003] At present, the biomass and pulverized coal gasification test platforms mainly rely on tube furnaces for heating, which are difficult to simulate the process of solar-driven gasification and have a low heating rate. The temperature measurement mostly uses the furnace body temperature, which has a large deviation from the actual temperature of the sample. The tube furnace cannot accurately measure the mass change of the sample in real time. A few photothermal gravimetric experimental platforms can achieve full-spectrum solar heating, but it is difficult to control the heating rate and ignores the influence of radiation frequency, and cannot realize the coupled heating of single-band or multi-band light radiation.
