Alkali metal compounds are released during the thermal conversion of biofuels and fossil fuels and have a major impact on the efficiency of conversion processes. Herein, we describe a novel method for the simultaneous characterization of alkali release and mass loss from materials used in combustion and gasification processes including solid fuels, fluidized bed materials, and catalysts for gas reforming. The method combines the thermogravimetric analysis of selected samples with the on-line measurement of alkali release using a surface ionization detector. The technique builds on the careful treatment of alkali processes during transport from a sample to the downstream alkali monitor including the losses of alkali in the molecular form to hot walls, the formation of nanometer-sized alkali-containing particles during the cooling of exhaust gases, aerosol particle growth, and diffusion losses in sampling tubes. The performance of the setup was demonstrated using biomass samples and fluidized bed material from an industrial process. The emissions of alkali compounds during sample heating and isothermal conditions were determined and related to the simultaneous thermogravimetric analysis. The methodology was concluded to provide new evidence regarding the behavior of alkali in key processes including biomass pyrolysis and gasification and ash interactions with fluidized beds. The implications and further improvements of the technique are discussed.
