Wood Pyrolysis and Carbon Dioxide Char Gasification Kinetics in a Fluidized Bed

  • Chapter
Book cover Fundamentals of Thermochemical Biomass Conversion

Abstract

Since pyrolysis is the first step in the gasification process of a solid material, rates and temperatures at which pyrolysis occur together with pyrolysis product yields are critical parameters in the design of a gasification process.
