Abstract :
The experiment on smoldering gasification in woody biomass has been carried out with a horizontal packed bed. Gas chromatography is employed to analyze the concentration of CH4, H2, CO, CO2 and O2 in gas products of smoldering gasification. The affects of temperature, moisture concentration and air condition on the flammable compositions of gas products are discussed. It is concluded that gas products of smoldering gasification in woody biomass can be used for fuel gas based on the feasibility analysis.
