Gasification of Cork Wastes in a Fluidized Bed Reactor
Waste and Biomass Valorization(2018)
摘要
Biomass gasification has been identified as an option for energetic valorisation of organic wastes. This work aimed to study the gasification of cork industry wastes using a semi-batch fluidized bed reactor. The experimental tests were performed using air as oxidizing agent and sand particles as bed material. The heating was performed with an electrical resistance of 3 kW. The effect of biomass load (2–5.6 g), and bed temperature (780–900 °C) on gasification performance was evaluated using an air flow rate of 0.092 g/s. Samples of producer gas were analysed by a gas chromatograph fitted with a thermal conductivity detector. The detected and quantified compounds on producer gas were H 2 , CO, CH 4 and CO 2 . Temperature and mass load had a predominant role in gasification performance and all gasification parameters increased with the temperature rise. The increase of mass resulted in a decrease of carbon conversion efficiency, cold gas efficiency and dry gas yield. Best results were obtained with mass load at a range of of 2–4 g, working at 850 °C. The results showed that cork particles are a sustainable raw material for gasification processes.
