Catalytic Effect of Char for Tar Cracking in Pyrolysis of Citrus Wastes, Design of a Novel Experimental Set Up and First Results

This study describes the design of a novel fixed bed lab scale down-draft ‘multiple layer’ reactor, aimed to investigate the effect of chars as means to catalyze tar cracking during pyrolysis of agro-industrial wastes. Preliminary experiments were carried out on pyrolysis of citrus wastes at 500, 70...
