The purpose of this study was to utilize gasification derived char as a catalyst support for tar removal. Red cedar char collected from downdraft bed gasification was chemically activated into activated carbon and impregnated with nickel acetate and nickel nitrate. The effects of nickel salts precursor, nitric acid treatment of support and reduction of nickel in hydrazine medium on catalyst performance...
Eastern redcedar is a problematic plant in Oklahoma due to its extinguished environmental flexibility and rapid expansion. Thermally converting solid biomass polymers into liquid fuel intermediate, solid char and gaseous products through pyrolysis is one promising approach to use redcedar for the production of sustainable fuels. The objective of this study was to investigate effects of eastern redcedar...
Tar removal is one of the major challenges in implementation of biomass gasification technology. Syngas tars causes formation of aerosols and soots, which plug filters, reactors and fuel lines. In this study, a char-derived catalyst was tested in removal of tar produced from pyrolysis of kraft lignin in a pyroprobe reactor. The effects of reaction temperature (700, 800 and 900°C), water amount (5–10μl),...
Downdraft gasification of forage sorghum and red cedar wood was studied with the aim of determining the characteristics of produced char for its further application, such as soil amendment, sorbent and solid fuel. Ultimate, proximate, XRD and NMR were used to investigate physical and chemical properties of char and thermo-analytic methods were used to determine kinetics of char gasification. The NMR...
For a fluidized-bed gasifier, reaction conditions vary along the height of the reactor. Hence, the steam injection location may have a considerable effect on the syngas quality. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of steam injection location and steam-to-biomass ratio (SBR) on the syngas quality generated from an air–steam gasification of switchgrass in a 2–5kg/h autothermal...
