Physico-chemical characterization study of coffee husk for feasibility assessment in fluidized bed gasification process.

The biomasses like post-harvest agricultural residues are usually disposed of as landfills and used as cattle fodder and manure. Large quantities of such wastes are often set to open firing. The open firing of such waste biomasses leads to particulate matter emission and air pollution.

Analysis of Hydrogen Generation through Thermochemical Gasification of Coconut Shell Using Thermodynamic Equilibrium Model Considering Char and Tar.

This work investigates the potential of coconut shell for air-steam gasification using thermodynamic equilibrium model. A thermodynamic equilibrium model considering tar and realistic char conversion was developed using MATLAB software to predict the product gas composition. After comparing it with experimental results the prediction capability of the model is enhanced by multiplying equilibrium constants with suitable coefficients.
