Dataset - Self-Heating of Biochar during Postproduction Storage by O₂ Chemisorption at Low Temperatures
Listed in Researchdata.se
Biochar is attracting attention as an alternative carbon/fuel source to coal in the process industry and energy sector.
Description
However, it is prone to self-heating and often leads to spontaneous ignition and thermal runaway during storage, resulting in production loss and health risks. This study investigates biochar self-heating upon its contact with O₂ at low temperatures, i.e., 50–300 °C. First, kinetic parameters of O₂ adsorption and CO₂ release were measured in a thermogravimetric analyzer using biochar produced from a pilot-scale pyrolysis process.
Then, specific heat capacity and heat of reactions were measured in a differential scanning calorimeter. Finally, a one-dimensional transient model was developed to simulate self-heating in containers and gain insight into the influences of major parameters. The model showed a good agreement with experimental measurement in a closed metal container.

It was observed that char temperature slowly increased from the initial temperature due to heat released during O₂ adsorption. Thermal runaway, i.e., self-ignition, was observed in some cases even at the initial biochar temperature of ca. 200 °C. However, if O₂ is not permeable through the container materials, the temperature starts decreasing after the consumption of O₂ in the container. The simulation model was also applied to examine important factors related to self-heating.
The results suggested that self-heating can be somewhat mitigated by decreasing the void fraction, reducing storage volume, and lowering the initial char temperature. This study demonstrated a robust way to estimate the cooling demands required in the biochar production process. The dataset was originally published in DiVA and moved to SND in 2024.
