| Summary: | Beech sawdust particle conversion in a drop tube furnace was studied between 800 and 1,400 °C. Particular attention was paid to the influence of temperature and to the presence of oxygen on the gasification process. As temperature increases, light hydrocarbon production decreases and the CO + H2 production (gas of interest for biofuel production) increases. Presence of oxygen in the gasification atmosphere allows consuming a high part of light hydrocarbons and enhancing carbon conversion into gas. However, high yields of CO2 and H2O were observed and the total yield of CO + H2 was lower than in pyrolysis conditions. |
