In this study, a theoretical model of biomass char gasification reactivity was developed, focusing on the catalytic effect of inorganic elements on the char gasification process. A comparison with previous research results shows that the catalytic ability of K in a fixed bed reactor is stronger than that of Ca, while the catalytic ability of Ca in ...

Gasification is a promising technology to dispose antibiotic mycelial dreg (AMD) which is a typical pharmaceutical hazardous bio-waste. However, the gasification of AMD is rarely studied. Since char gasification is the key step in the gasification process, the present work focused on the steam gasification of char. The influence of inorganic elemen...

In this paper, we investigated the gasification of charcoals using a macro TG under CO2 mixed with nitrogen at different percentages (40%, 70% and 100% CO2) and at different fixed temperatures (750 °C, 800 °C, and 900 °C). For this purpose, two raw residues were selected; the exhausted olive mill solid wastes (EOMSW) and the pine sawdust (PS). Then...

Fuel blending is one of the most effective ways to use biomass to reduce the use of coal. In this study, co-combustion characteristics including NOx emissions, unburned carbon (UBC), and the char reactivity of coal, biomass, and pretreated biomass blends were investigated by using a lap scale drop tube furnace (DTF) and thermogravimetric analyzer (...
In this work, we study the gasification of pellets produced, after densification, by blending olive mill solid wastes, impregnated or not by olive mill waste water, and pine sawdust under different steam/nitrogen atmospheres. The charcoals necessary for the gasification tests were prepared by pyrolysis using a fixed bed reactor. The gasification te...
The reaction of NO with chars of sewage sludge, refuse derived fuel (RDF), and straw was investigated in a fixed bed reactor at temperatures from 800 to 900 degrees C and NO inlet concentrations from 400 to 1500 ppmv. The effect of ash forming elements in the chars was examined by comparing the reactivity of raw and demineralized chars. Compared to...

In this work, single particle combustion of raw and torrefied 4 mm wood particles with different potassium content obtained by KCl impregnation and washing was studied experimentally under a condition of 1225 °C, 3.1% O2 and 26.1% H2O. The ignition time and devolatilization time depended almost linearly on the fuel particle mass. The char conversio...
