Abstract:
A flat flame burner was used in conjunction with a radiant panel to perform fast pyrolysis of foliage samples from 15 common fuels from the southeastern United States. A pyrolyzer (kerogen retort) performed slow pyrolysis of the same 15 fuels. This data set contains the molar ratio of the light gases (CO, CO2, H2, CH4) and condensable pyrolysis products (tars) identified using gas chromatographs. Three replications of each pyrolysis experiment were performed. The data were collected in order to compare the composition of gases produced by traditional methods of pyrolysis (this data product) with gas composition produced by pyrolysis caused by heating from a wildland flame (Wind tunnel and Ft. Jackson canister and FTIR data products). The use of trade or firm names is for information and does not imply endorsement by the US Department of Agriculture of any product or service.
