Coal particles are supplied to drop tube furnace (DTF) with a designed shaftless screw micro feeder. The condition of individual particles in furnace, which demands small particles size (102μm) and low flow rate for micro feeder,is desired to reaction mechanisms research. When particle size is less than 1mm, the interparticle forces such as van der Waals interactions have enormous effect on flow behavior of particles, so it is difficult to provide continuous and steady particles flow at low flow rate. In this paper, the micro feeder uses shaftless spring as its feeding element. To simulate dispersed particles flow, the feeding rate of coal particles should be decided by feeding coefficient M and is controlled by variable rotation speed of screw. The corresponding simplified model of feeding rate is presented, and interparticle forces are evaluated by the velocity coefficient . A vibrating metal rod is inserted into the middle of the shaftless screw to avoid particles agglomeration, and particle flow stability is also effectively improved. The given results show good linearity and stability of micro feeder. Moreover, the influences of the particle properties such as particle size and particle moisture content on the feeding rate are also investigated.

Introduction: Thermochemical and biochemical processes are used to convert biomass into useful and sustainable energy. Thermoconversion processes comprises the biomasses burning in an oxygen-rich environment or in the absence of this, where types and fuel properties, process conditions, particles size, air flow rate and fuel moisture affect directly the combustion characteristics, altering the generation and heat transfer and the reaction rates. The combustion chamber temperature is an important factor for the biomasses combustion or other material, because this exerts large influence in the thermal processes efficiency, products yield and composition of the generated products. Research Problem: For this reason, this paper aims to investigate the high temperature behavior in the combustion chamber of a Drop Tube Furnace (DTF) Methods: Different thermochemical processes (conventional combustion, pyrolysis and two typical oxy-fuel combustion atmospheres) and five Brazilian biomasses (pine sawdust, sugarcane bagasse, coffee and rice husks, and tucumã seed) are employed. Such monitoring in situ was performed using two thermocouples located inside the furnace: one in the upper and other in bottom part. Results: For the different biomasses and thermal processes (atmospheres), a trend in the high temperature variations of the combustion chamber and residence times were observed, which can be related to the biomasses feeding system, moisture of samples and specific furnace operation conditions. Conclusion: This study can support in new projects elaboration of thermochemical conversion systems in lab-scale or industrial for the burning of several biomasses or other materials with purpose bioenergy generation.
