Kinetics and Catalysis of Producing Synthetic Gases from Biomass

摘要

Battelle Pacific Northwest Laboratories has conducted basic research to provide a fundamental elucidation of the kinetics, reaction sequences and pathways involved in pyrolysis and catalytic steam gasification of wood and wood components. A detailed data base describing the steam gasification in the presence and absence of catalysts was investigated in both systems. This data base provides detailed information regarding gasification rates, char formation, degradation products, gas-phase reactions, reaction mechanisms and catalytic activity. Results of this investigation have demonstrated that the use of a properly selected catalyst or combined catalyst systems can significantly influence the gasification of biomass.
