Abstract:

The oxygen gasification of pine sawdust for the production of bio-gas was conducted in a high-temperature fixed bed reactor. The impacts of gasification temperature and equivalence ratio(ER) on oxygen gasification prepared bio-gas heat value, bio-gas yield, and the volumetric fraction of each component in bio-gas were evaluated. The obtained optimal process parameters were debugged and validated in the demonstration project of biomass gasification to generate bio-gas for industrial boilers. The results showed that the gasification temperature of 850-950 ℃, the heat value of the gas raised initially then fell with the ER increase, reaching its maximum value when the ER was 0.24. Moreover, the gasification temperature exhibited a significant effect on oxygen gasification of sawdust. With the rise of gasification temperature, the gas heat value and the volumetric fraction of H2, CO, CH4 in gas increased, and the gas production rate increased initially, then decreased and reached its highest value at 900 ℃. Under the optimized conditions of gasification temperature of 900 ℃ and the ER of 0.24, the heat value of prepared gas was 13.14 MJ/m3, the gas yield was 0.98 L/g, and the volumetric fractions of H2, CO, CH4 and C2Hm in the gas were 17.64%, 39.78%, 12.45% and 2.76%, respectively. These parameters were implemented in the demonstration engineering, resulting in a calorific value of 10.90 MJ/m3 and a gas production rate of 1.02 L/g.
