Effect of heating rate of biomass feedstock on carbon gasification efficiency in supercritical water gasification

摘要

The effect of feedstock heating rate on the efficiency of gasification of a biomass in supercritical water was investigated using a continuous bench-scale reactor. A glucose solution (biomass model compound) and a cabbage slurry were gasified in supercritical water at various heating rates in a preheater. The results show that in the range of 10-30 K/s, carbon gasification efficiency improved as the heating rate increased.
