Gasification is raised as the most promising technologies of municipal solid waste (MSW) removal as well as energy recovery. The principal problem related with the gasification process is the high amount of tar released during the gasification process that causes environmental and operational problems. The purpose of this study is to investigate the performance of MSW gasification using tyre char as an alternative option for catalytic gasification to produce tar free clean gas. Catalytic performance of tyre char was compared with performance of MSW gasification alone without the tyre char in a bench scale downdraft reactor. The waste tyre char removed 80% of tars in syngas at 700 °C. Analysis of the syngas compositions indicated that concentration of H2and CO were significantly increased. Therefore, it was concluded that chars especially tyre char can be an effective and inexpensive catalyst for tar removal and syngas production of MSW gasification.

Supercritical water gasification (SCWG) is an efficient and clean conversion of biomass due to the unique chemical and physical properties. Anthracene and furfural are the key intermediates in SCWG, and their microscopic reaction mechanism in supercritical water may provide information for reactor optimization and selection of optimal operating condition. Density functional theory (DFT) and reactive empirical force fields (ReaxFF) were combined to investigate the molecular dynamics of catalytic gasification of anthracene and furfural. The simulation results showed that Cu and Ni obviously increased the production of H radicals, therefore the substance SCWG process. Ni catalyst decreased the production of H2 with the residence time of 500 ps while significantly increased CO production and finally increased the syngas production. Ni catalyst was proved to decrease the free carbon production to prohibit the carbon deposition on the surface of active sites; meanwhile, Cu catalyst increased the production of free carbon.

AbstractThe present work deals with thermo-catalytic decomposition of pyrolytic oil from the scrap tire pyrolysis process. Such oil can be used as a model tar in an experimental study of tar removal from pyrolysis or gasification process gas. Several experiments under different conditions were carried out in order to determine conditions of the gasification and pyrolysis processes. Influence of the oil to steam ratio, temperature, and of the presence of dolomite catalyst was studied. Addition of water steam has positive effect on the hydrogen content in the outgoing process gas as well as on the conversion of the injected oil. The catalytic gasification experiment in a quasi steady state produced process gas with the composition: 61 mole % of H2, 6.4 mole % of CO, and 11.7 mole % of CH4. At temperatures lower than 800°C, the amount of process gas decreased resulting also in a decrease of the oil conversion. A comparison of gasification experiments using fresh calcined dolomite with experiments proceeding with regenerated dolomite was done under the same conditions. There was a decrease in the process gas volumetric flow when regenerated catalyst was used.

The co-gasification of wheat straw and wet sewage sludge for hydrogen-rich gas production was investigated in a fixed bed reactor with corn stalk char (CSC)-supported catalysts. The Ni/CSC, Ni-Fe/CSC, and Ni-Fe-La/CSC catalysts were characterized via ultimate analysis, X-ray fluorescence, thermogravimetric, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analyses. A series of experiments were performed to explore the effects of reactor temperature, catalyst type, moisture content of wet sludge, and catalyst recycling performance on the composition and yield of gasification gases. The experiments demonstrated that the nickel-iron alloy (Fe0.64Ni0.36) was detected in the Ni-Fe-La/CSC catalyst, and the Ni-Fe-La/CSC catalyst showed much higher hydrogen production compared with the Ni/CSC and Ni-Fe/CSC catalysts. Furthermore, La2O3 effectively maintained the catalytic performance of the catalyst by relieving carbon deposition. Compared with non-catalyst biomass gasification, H2 yield increased from 3.80 mol/kg to 11.96 mol/kg using Ni-Fe-La/CSC catalyst at 600 °C. The newly developed tri-metallic Ni-Fe-La/CSC catalyst exhibited high catalytic activity for biomass gasification at low temperature.
