GASIFICATION CHARACTERISTICS OF SOLID AND LIQUID COMPONENTS OF SHOCHU (JAPANESE DISTILLED LIQUOR) RESIDUE IN SUPERCRITICAL WATER

摘要

Shochu residue is distillation waste produced during shochu (Japanese distilled liquor) production. It isrnwet biomass to be decomposed. Supercritical water gasification at 600 ℃, 25 Mpa allows its conversion to fuel gas,rnwhich is further used for production of heat needed for distillation. It is composed of solid and liquid components,rnwhich should behave differently in supercritical water. Liquid component as well as whole shochu residue wasrngasified in supercritical water, and reaction network was proposed. The reaction rate constant for each reaction wasrnalso determined. The determined rate constants well reproduced the experimental result.
