High Temperature Aims and scope

Abstract

Experimental data on arc gasification of wood residue has been presented. The potential in the use of wood residue as an energy source and the environmental aspect of wood residue application have been considered. Allothermal gasification and autothermal gasification have been compared. The effect of the initial moisture content on the composition of the products of arc gasification of wood has been demonstrated. The role of heat loss at low-capacity setups has been considered.
