Gasification of Municipal Wastes

Salman Zafar — Sun, 06 Apr 2025 13:04:44 +0000

Gasification of municipal wastes involves the reaction of carbonaceous feedstock with an oxygen-containing reagent, usually oxygen, air, steam or carbon dioxide, generally at temperatures above 800°C. The process is largely exothermic but some heat may be required to initialise and sustain...

Biomass Pyrolysis Process

Salman Zafar — Wed, 28 Aug 2024 08:02:14 +0000

Biomass pyrolysis is the thermal decomposition of biomass occurring in the absence of oxygen. It is the fundamental chemical reaction that is the precursor of both the combustion and gasification processes and occurs naturally in the first two seconds. The...

Biofuels from Syngas

Salman Zafar — Sun, 10 Mar 2024 12:58:47 +0000

An attractive approach to converting biomass into liquid or gaseous fuels is direct gasification, followed by conversion of the syngas to final fuel. Ethanol can be produced this way, but other fuels can be produced more easily and potentially at...
