| dc.description.abstract | In this experimental study the evolution of gas characteristics during the gasification of olive bagasse particles was investigated using a semi-batch fluidized-bed gasifier. Sand particles with a mean diameter of 375 μm were used as bed material and an air flow was used as the fluidizing agent. Experimental tests were conducted with particles of diameter ranging from in 1.25 to 2 mm. The material was characterised through elemental and proximate analysis, and the higher heating value was also measured. In each run, the major components of the gas phase were identified as CO, CO2, H2, CH4, O2 and N2. Gaseous samples were collected and analysed by gas chromatography. The effect of bed temperature on gasification performance was studied. The tests were conducted at bed temperatures in the range of 700ºC to 900ºC Experimental results showed that gasification with air at higher temperatures favoured gas production, Results also showed increases in the gasification performance parameters as the bed temperature is increased. | pt_PT |
