STUDY ON HYDROGEN PRODUCTION FROM GASIFICATION OF STRAW IN SUPERCRITICAL WATER

摘要

The influence of pressure, temperature, residence time, and alkali addition on the gasification of corn straw in supercritical water was investigated. Changing the pressure did not seriously affect the hydrogen production. An increase in the temperature notably improved the conversion of biomass. Residence time variations revealed that with longer residence time, hydrogen production was improved until a maximum was reached. Hydrogen production changed with residence time and temperature. KOH addition affected the hydrogen production of corn straw.
