Gasification of Coal and Biomass Mixtures

Abstract

The results of an analysis of the state of developments in the field of gasification of coal and biomass mixtures are presented. It is shown that this is a promising direction for diversifying the areas of coal application and a new area for using biomass as a renewable natural resource. The specific features of the process of gasification of coal and biomass mixtures are considered. A comparison of gasifiers of various types was carried out, and the technology and the type of gasifiers that are of particular interest for the production of synthesis gas from the mixtures of coal and biomass were identified.
