Experiments were performed on a laboratory scale fluidized bed gasifier to characterize the gasification products of almond shell and hull removed in nut processing operations and to determine the effect of gasifying media ...

This work assesses the effects of various process temperatures (700, 750, and 800 °C) and equivalence ratio (0.25; 0.30 and 0.35) on gasification of grapefruit (Citrus x paradisi) solid waste (GSW) in a fluidized bed ...

This work presents a thermodynamic analysis of the integration of biomass gasification systems in a sugarethanol factory. It is considered the effect of gasification of the straw, bagasse and vinasse separately as well as ...

The pulp and paper sector is intensive in the use of energy, and presents a high participation in the industrial context, specially based in the black liquor, a renewable source generated in the pulp process. Black liquor ...

Brazil has problems with the incorrect disposal of biomedical waste (BW) and studies of new technologies to eliminate this problem is becoming increasingly important. The plasma gasification technology provides reliable ...

The influence of the nickel-based catalyst on the content of hydrogen gas produced by the gasification of sawdust and its effect on organic impurities (tars) at the pilot plant scale is studied. The effect of the reaction ...

The objective of this study was to characterize biochar produced from rice hulls and wood chips in a top-lit updraft gasifier. Biochar from four airflows (8, 12, 16, or 20 L min-1) and two insulation conditions (not insulated ...

Biomass has great potential as a clean, renewable feedstock for producing modern energy carriers. This paper focuses on the process of biomass wastes gasification, where the synthesis gas may subsequently be used for the ...
