Highlights Different mixtures of biomass gasifying agents were compared (H 2 O+O 2 , CO 2 +H 2 O+O 2 , CO 2 +O 2 and N 2 +O 2). Mixtures of dolomitic limestone and silica sand (1:1 or 1:3 by vol.) were used as fluidised bed material. The highest fuel carbon conversion was observed for mixtures of CO 2 and H 2 O as the gasifying agent. Use of the combination of CO 2 and H 2 O leads to a higher degree of tar decomposition.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
