The Effect Of Biomass Feedstock Type & Process Parameters On Achieving The Total Carbon Conversion In The Large Scale Fluidized Bed Gasification Of Biomass
One option for the production of liquid biofuel in Finland is based on fluidized bed gasification of biomass and Fischer-Tropsch synthesis process. The totalcarbon conversion achieved in the gasifier, operating at temperatures below 1000°C, depends mainly on the reactivity of solid char residue. The reactivity of the char residue is affected by temperature, partial pressures of the reactants H2O ...
