Effect of calcium oxide on high-temperature steam gasification of municipal solid waste

Novel Ni–Mg–Al–Ca catalyst for enhanced hydrogen production for the pyrolysis–gasification of a biomass/plastic mixture

“…Increase of the total gas yield with the increase of Ni content in the catalyst was due to this reaction. In addition, the reforming capacity of CaO might be significant if the CaO content increases in the catalyst [32]. The produced CO and H 2 O derived from steam can be converted into H 2 and CO 2 by the water-gas shift reaction (reaction (1)), which was enhanced by the CO 2 absorption by CaO.…”

Experimental study on air/steam gasification of leather scraps using U-type catalytic gasification for producing hydrogen-enriched syngas

“…In the past few years, the generation of hydrogen-enriched syngas from biomass or combustible wastes by gasification methods received intensive interests [3e5] and many previous studies found that compared with conventional direct incineration which imposed potential risk resulted from dioxins and toxic heavy metals [6,7] to the health of local residents, converting solid waste into combustible syngas through gasification showed great environment attraction [8]. Luo et al [9,10] investigated the generation of hydrogen-enriched syngas from the gasification of municipal solid waste (MSW) and biomass in a lab-scale fixed bed reactor and found that hydrogen yield reached the highest value at 900 C for both MSW and biomass when steam was used as gasifying agent.…”

Coal chemical-looping gasification of Ca-based oxygen carriers decorated by CaO

“…In addition to CO 2 capture, the introduced CaO was also reported to be a coal gasification catalyst [27]. The enhancement of carbon conversion can be explained in terms of the activation energy.…”
