Steam gasification of sugarcane bagasse has been investigated. A semi batch reactor with a fixed amount of sugarcane bagasse sample placed in steady flow of high temperature steam at atmospheric pressure has been used. The gasification of bagasse was examined at reactor and steam temperatures of...

The effect of particle size, porosity and reactor temperature/reaction rate constant on the progress of a char particle conversion has been investigated numerically by solving the transport equation inside a reacting char particle. Numerical simulations have been conducted for three cases that...

Kinetics of woodchips char gasification has been examined. Steam and CO2 were used as the gasifying agents. Differences and similarities between kinetics of steam gasification and CO2 gasification have been discussed. Comparison was conducted in terms of gasification duration, evolution of...

Gasification of polyethylene (PE) and woodchips (WC) mixtures have been investigated in a semi-batch reactor, using high temperature steam as the gasifying agent. The reactor temperature was maintained at 900 °C. The ratio of PE-WC was varied from 0% to 100% in 20% intervals....

Characteristics of syngas from the pyrolysis and gasification of food waste has been investigated. Characteristic differences in syngas properties and overall yields from pyrolysis and gasification were determined at two distinct high temperatures of 800 and 900 °C. Pyrolysis and...

Experimental results are presented on the role of benzene addition to H2S combustion at an equivalence ratio of three with respect to H2S (Claus condition) and complete combustion of benzene. The results are reported with 0.3%, 0.5% and 1% benzene addition to H2S/O2 flame. Combustion of H2S and...

A micro-thermocouple, microphones and microphone probes were employed to provide detailed information on key ongoing processes in a premixed swirl flame. High frequency pressure and temperature measurements were carried out to identify temperature field and acoustic characteristics of a swirl...

Experimental investigations on the effect of different amounts of toluene addition to H2S combustion in oxygen under Claus condition (Φ=3) are presented. Three toluene concentrations of 0.5%, 1% and 5% in H2S are presented and compared with the baseline case of 100% H2S oxygen combustion....

Results are presented to examine the combustion of acid gas (H2S and CO2) in hydrogen-fueled flames using a mixture of oxygen and nitrogen under Claus conditions (Φ=3). Specifically the effect of oxygen enrichment in the above flames is examined. The compositions of acid gas examined are100%...

Mangrove is a biomass material that grows in wetland sea waters and is often used to produce charcoal due to its unique characteristics of long and sustained burning and negligible residue. High temperature pyrolysis has been conducted for mangrove biomass in a laboratory scale semi-batch...
