【 摘 要 】

Biomass gasification in Entrained Flow Reactor (EFR) is both studied with experiments in a drop tube reactor and modelling with a 1-D model (GASPAR). Operating conditions are chosen thanks to results of a preliminary modelling of an industrial EFR. Influence of addition of steam (0.55 g/g db), carbon dioxide (0.87 g/g db) and oxygen (Equivalent Ratio: 0-0.61) is investigated between 800 and 1400 degrees C with beech wood particles sieved between 315 and 450 mu m as feedstock. The model takes into account pyrolysis reaction, gas phase reaction with a detailed chemical scheme (176 species, 5988 reactions), char gasification by steam and CO2 and soot formation. H2O or CO2 addition has no influence on gasification product yields at 800 and 1000 degrees C, while at 1200 and 1400 degrees C the char gasification is significantly enhanced and soot formation is certainly inhibited by OH radical which reacts with soot precursors. The modification of output gas phase composition is mostly due to WGS reaction which reaches thermodynamic equilibrium from about 1200 degrees C. As expected, O-2 has a significant influence on gas and tar yields through combustion reactions. Char and soot yields decrease as ER increases. The GASPAR model allows a good prediction of gas and char and gives relevant evolution of soot and tar yields on the large majority of conditions studied. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
