【 摘 要 】

Gasification is one of the technologies to process biomass as a renewable alternative energy source. Steam biomass gasification using various clays derived from Indonesia was carried out with laboratory scale fluidized bed reactor to evaluate the activities of clay as catalysts. At the same time to elucidated the relationship between material bed characteristics and gasification process activity. Tar capturing ability was compared for activated clay, silica sand and clay minerals derived from Indonesia by using a laboratory scale fluidized bed reactor. Even raw clay minerals were found to reduce heavy tar and water-soluble species emissions and increased carbonaceous materials deposited on the bed materials compared to activated clay. Activity of some Indonesian clay revealed high performance on the biomass gasification due to the amount of acid center.
