Attempts on cardoon gasification in two different circulating fluidized beds

Few tests have been carried out in order to evaluate the use of cardoon in gasification and combustion applications most of the researchers dealt with agglomeration problems. The aim of this work is to deal with the agglomeration problem and to present a solution for the utilization of this biofuel at a near industrial application scale. For...

On the gasification of biomass in a steam-oxygen blown CFB gasifier with the focus on gas quality upgrading: Technology background, experiments and mathematical modeling

This work presents and discusses the results of the research on the gasification of biomass in an atmospheric circulating fluidized bed, with a mixture of steam and oxygen as fluidization / gasification medium. The main objectives of this research were to investigate and improve the gasification process in order to produce hydrogen-rich gas from...
