“…These volume percentages lead to H 2 /CO and CO/CO 2 molar ratios in the exit gas ranging from 1.46-3.25 and 0.29-0.88, respectively. The H 2 /CO molar ratio is an important parameter in view of possible end uses of the gas, and values close to 2 are usually required in processes such as methanol or Fischer Tropsch synthesis [26]. According to the ANOVA results (Table 4), the composition of the gasification medium is clearly the most influential factor for this ratio.…”

An experimental work was carried out to investigate the viability of energy recovery from the air-steam gasification of sewage sludge. The relative influence of different factors, as well as the effect of their possible interactions, has been determined by means of analysis of variance. Temperature was found to be the most influential factor for most of the variables analyzed. Solid yield (35-41 wt. %) and tar content (11-45 g/m 3 STP ) were largely reduced with temperature, whereas gas production (0.89-1.32 m 3 STP /kg sewage sludge dry and ash free), carbon yield to gas phase (62-90 wt. %), gasification efficiency (39-66 %), and H 2 and CO yields (20-52 and 137-414 g/kg sewage sludge dry and ash free, respectively) were improved at high temperature. Other important parameters for the end-use of the gas such as its heating value (4.12-6.20 MJ/m 3 STP ) and its H 2 /CO molar ratio (1.46-3.25) were greatly influenced by the composition of the gasification medium, since the increase in the steam to oxygen ratio was favourable for both. The comparison of experimental and theoretical results highlights that equilibrium was not reached during the experimental runs.

“…[32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42]6,14 In this respect, it is noteworthy to mention the excellent updates by Dry on the challenges and technological implementations of Co F-T synthesis. [17][18][19][20] The overall selectivity of the F-T process is intimately related to the production of methane, which is not economic, since the back conversion to syngas encounters, severe thermal and yield penalties.…”

“…Operation at lower conversion of up to 30% leads to improved selectivity to C 2 and higher alcohols. 13,14 Current research focuses on improving catalysts and optimizing reactor design to improve selectivity for specific products and increase product yields. The current state of mixed alcohol production from synthesis gas is reviewed in two recent articles and a recent report.…”
