Abstract :
In this study, for the feasibility of graphite production, three samples of poplar wood, tire and straw were pyrolyzed at temperatures of 500, 600, 700 and 800 ℃ with a heating rate of 5 ℃/min and a retention time of 20 minutes. The effects of pyrolysis temperature on the produced char. were also investigated. The results showed that increasing the temperature of pyrolysis led to a decrease in char efficiency, and all three samples had the highest efficiency at 500 ℃ temperature, which is due to the higher decomposition of raw materials at higher temperatures. According to the results of elemental analysis, the concentration of carbon increased with increasing temperature for preparation of all samples, but the concentration of hydrogen, nitrogen, sulfur and oxygen decreased. According to FTIR analysis, functional groups of -OH, C-H, C=O and C-O were observed in all three samples obtained from poplar wood, tire, and straw and the ratio of aromatic to aliphatic compounds increased at higher temperatures. According to the XRD analysis, the (002) peak related to the graphite plates was observed in the XRD patterns of the samples. This peak in XRD patterns of all samples obtained at 800 °C was sharper and narrower than that of the samples obtained at the other temperatures. Also, this peak was more similar to the coresponding peak of commercial graphite than that of the samples obtained at the other temperatures. The result of TGA showed that the samples obtained at 800 °C had less weight loss and more thermal stability than the other samples.
