Article: Promotion of coconut shell gasification by steam reforming on Nickel-dolomite.(Report)

INTRODUCTION

Gasification of biomass is a potential source of renewable energy to produce useful gases such as syn gas or pure hydrogen. One of the major issues in biomass gasification is how to deal with the tar formed during the process. Tar is a complex mixture of condensable hydrogen which includes single ring to five ring aromatic compounds along with other oxygen containing hydrocarbons and complex PAH (5). Tar can be eliminated by thermal cracking or by the use of a catalyst. The catalytic gasification process is an attractive technological alternative to deal with tar and to produce high yield of syn gas. Steam is one of the most commonly used ...
