Potential of selected cuban biomasses for thermochemical conversion into bioenergy

Data on the rapid, elemental and calorimetric analysis, such as ash melting behaviour and thermogravimetric profiles of Cuban biomass feedstocks are shown in order to assess their potential for bioenergy production. The studied biomasses are Jatropha curcas husk, Moringa oleifera husk, Dichrostachys cinerea, Ulva lactuca, Chaetomorpha gracilis and Sargassum fluitants. Seed, kernels or stems and algae were characterized by weight. Sample preparation and tests were established according to referenced German standards with particle size < 75 mm. Also thermogravimetric analyses have been performed at 10ºC/min in Argon atmosphere. Data in the paper are shown in Tables and Graphs. The data represent valuable information for further implementation of gasification or pyrolysis processes to using these biomasses.

本文展示了古巴生物质原料（biomass feedstocks）的快速分析、元素分析和量热分析数据，包括灰熔融行为（ash melting behaviour）和热重曲线（thermogravimetric profiles），旨在评估其生物能源生产潜力。研究的生物质包括麻疯树（Jatropha curcas）果壳、辣木（Moringa oleifera）果壳、双穗决明（Dichrostachys cinerea）、石莼（Ulva lactuca）、纤细硬毛藻（Chaetomorpha gracilis）和漂浮马尾藻（Sargassum fluitants）。对种子、仁或茎以及藻类进行了重量表征。样品制备和测试遵循参考的德国标准，颗粒尺寸小于75毫米。此外，在氩气（Argon）气氛下以10℃/min的速率进行了热重分析（thermogravimetric analyses）。论文中的数据以表格和图表形式呈现。这些数据为进一步应用气化（gasification）或热解（pyrolysis）工艺利用这些生物质提供了宝贵信息。
