Abstract
The effects of operational conditions on the yields and composition of char, tar and gas produced during carbonization are discussed in a batch pressure fluidized bed.
The gas yield increases with increasing carbonization temperature and pressure in fluidized bed.
The gross heat value of product gas from carbonization using fluidizing gas with and without 20% H2, at 800°C under the pressure of 10 Kg/cm2. gage are 1.5 and 1.3 kcal/gr. Further addition of gross heat value using fluidizing gas with 20% H2 results in more CH4 and less CO2.
