Abstract :
The main results of the experimental work on steam co-gasification of Polish hard coal and Salix Viminalis blends in a fixed bed reactor under atmospheric pressure and at the temperature of 700, 800 and 900 °C are presented in the paper. The effectiveness of co-gasification of coal/biomass blends of 20, 40, 60 and 80% w/w biomass content was tested in terms of gas flows, composition, carbon conversion and chars reactivity. A synergy effect in the co-gasification tests, consisting in increase in the volume of hydrogen produced, when compared to the tests of coal and biomass gasification, was observed at all tested temperatures. The observed synergy effect was attributed to the catalytic effect of K2O present in blend ash (6–10% wt). Moreover, in co-gasification of blends of 20 and 40% w/w biomass content, increase in the total gas yield was observed, when compared to the tests of coal and biomass gasification at all tested temperatures. In tests of co-gasification of blends of higher biomass content (i.e. 60 and 80% w/w), a slight decrease in the total volume of product gas was observed, when compared to the tests of coal and biomass gasification. Nevertheless, higher ratio of biomass in co-gasification makes it still an attractive option in terms of CO2 emission reduction and increase in hydrogen production.
