Fermentable Sugars from Lignocellulosic Biomass: Technical Challenges
Lignocelluloses, the most abundant renewable biomass on earth, are composed mainly of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. Both the cellulose and hemicellulose fractions are polymers of sugars and thereby a p...

CO2 gasification behavior of biomass chars in an entrained flow reactor
Chars of different particle sizes (150–250, 500–600 μm) from two different biomass species (spruce and coconut shell) were gasified under entrained flow condition in the presence of CO2 at different temperatures ...

Numerical Simulation of Coal Char Gasification with CO2 in a Drop Tube Furnace
A three-dimensional numerical scheme is developed to study the gasification of Australian brown coal char using a drop tube furnace in the N2/CO2 environment. The Eulerian–Lagrangian multiphase modeling approach ...

Investigations on charcoal as fuel for a refillable scandia-stabilised zirconia electrolyte-based tubular carbon fuel cell
A carbon fuel cell (CFC) is an emerging technology for conversion of solid carbonaceous material into electricity at high theoretical efficiencies (100 %). As carbonaceous material like coal will remain an imp...

Fe-Ce0.1Zr0.9O2-Ag electrode for one-step methane synthesis in solid oxide electrolyser
A novel mixed oxide material, Fe-Ce0.1Zr0.9O2-Ag, has been tested as cathode, for the very first time, for one-step methane synthesis in a single temperature solid oxide electrolyser by electrolysing a H2/CO2 (4:...

Co-slagging characteristics of coal and biomass ashes considering entrained flow slagging gasifier
This study systematically investigated the co-slagging characteristics of high-rank coal and biomass ashes considering entrained flow slagging gasifier. Despite favourable performance parameters, coal might no...
