Abstract

Our aim was to identify the potential of reed stalk as a raw materials for biomass pellet production. Compared to woody biomass, reed stalk contained significant levels of ash. The holocellulose content of reed stalk was similar to that of larch, but the lignin content of reed stalk was lower than that of larch. In the elemental analysis, chlorine content of reed stalk was much higher than that of larch, and satisfied only the mixed biomass pellet B of European non-woody pellet standards(EN 14961-6). In quantitative analysis of the ash, heavy metals contents of reed stalk satisfied European non-woody pellet standards. Higher heating value of oven-dried reed stalk pellet was slightly lower than that of larch wood pellet. The durability of reed stalk pellet was lower than that of larch wood pellet. The results of this study indicate that reed stalk might be used as a raw material of mixed biomass pellet B.
