Pretreated residual biomasses in fluidized beds for chemical looping Gasification: Experimental devolatilizations and characterization of ashes behavior.

The European research project CLARA (G.A. 817841) has studied pretreated residual biomasses for chemical looping gasification.

Kinetic Characterization of Tar Reforming on Commercial Ni-Catalyst Pellets Used for In Situ Syngas Cleaning in Biomass Gasification: Experiments and Simulations under Process Conditions.

Filtering-catalytic candles, filled with an annular packed-bed of commercial Ni-catalyst pellets (∼600 g), were successfully tested for in situ syngas cleaning in a fluidized-bed biomass steam gasifier [Fuel Process. Technol.2019, 191, 44-53, DOI: 10.

Steam gasification of lignite and solid recovered fuel (SRF) in a bench scale fluidized bed gasifier.

The reduction of CO emissions and solid waste disposal are critical issues with high importance for the environmental protection. Gasification is a promising process for sustainable energy production, because it can produce a versatile gaseous fuel starting from a wide range of organic feedstocks, and with reduced greenhouse gas emissions compared to combustion. Lignite is an abundant carbonaceous resource in Europe and in this work, gasification tests were carried out with lignite and a lignite and Solid Recovered Fuel (SRF) mixture, to evaluate the quality of gas produced from co-gasification of waste materials, in view of the final uses of the gas.
