“…The amount of oxygen introduced in the process, supplied either from air or from water, was kept constant. The description of the experimental setup procedure concerning gasification using air was already reported by the authors in another research study [11,21]. The experimental steps are like those depicted in Figure 1, except the gasifying agent, steam in this case.…”

Using different gasification agents: air and steam, two types of gasification process were performed into a batch reactor at temperature of 750°C and 850°C and atmospheric pressure. The only difference between of the two compared experimental configurations was represented by the gasification agent used in the process. The amount of oxygen introduced into the reactor for air gasification at an ER of 0.3 was computed. Therefore, in the steam gasification process, the same amount of oxygen was introduced, so establishing an unordinary steam to biomass ratio. In this way, the two processes, air vs. steam gasification, were compared, the rest of the process parameters being kept constant. This paper approaches the transitory regimes (initiation stage) of gasification process in order to observe the influence of process temperature and gasification agent on the process run. According to the experimental results, better gas quality is obtained if steam is used as a gasifying agent, yet the conversion and energy efficiencies decreases. By optimizing time residence in steam gasification, process efficiencies may be increased.

Materials, fuels, upgrading, economy, and life cycle assessment of the pyrolysis of algal and lignocellulosic biomass: a review

Climate change issues are calling for advanced methods to produce materials and fuels in a carbon–neutral and circular way. For instance, biomass pyrolysis has been intensely investigated during the last years. Here we review the pyrolysis of algal and lignocellulosic biomass with focus on pyrolysis products and mechanisms, oil upgrading, combining pyrolysis and anaerobic digestion, economy, and life cycle assessment. Products include oil, gas, and biochar. Upgrading techniques comprise hot vapor filtration, solvent addition, emulsification, esterification and transesterification, hydrotreatment, steam reforming, and the use of supercritical fluids. We examined the economic viability in terms of profitability, internal rate of return, return on investment, carbon removal service, product pricing, and net present value. We also reviewed 20 recent studies of life cycle assessment. We found that the pyrolysis method highly influenced product yield, ranging from 9.07 to 40.59% for oil, from 10.1 to 41.25% for biochar, and from 11.93 to 28.16% for syngas. Feedstock type, pyrolytic temperature, heating rate, and reaction retention time were the main factors controlling the distribution of pyrolysis products. Pyrolysis mechanisms include bond breaking, cracking, polymerization and re-polymerization, and fragmentation. Biochar from residual forestry could sequester 2.74 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent per ton biochar when applied to the soil and has thus the potential to remove 0.2–2.75 gigatons of atmospheric carbon dioxide annually. The generation of biochar and bio-oil from the pyrolysis process is estimated to be economically feasible.

The results presented in the following paper are making the aim of a broadly research concentrated to investigate the temperature effects on agricultural waste pyrolysis performed in a batch reactor. Briefly, the motivation along with experimental features and main results generated from the rape straw low temperature pyrolysis (300°C-500°C) have been offered in the first part submitted at the MSE 2019 conference, with the title: Bio-gaseous fuels from agricultural waste pyrolysis (Part I). The current section (second part of the study) presents the results obtained in case of the rape straw high temperature pyrolysis (600°C-800°C). Overall, as expected, the augmentation of the operating temperature, inhibits the bio-oil and biochar formation, enhancing the pyrolysis gas production. The distribution of gaseous components varies depending on temperature and residence time. The transition stages and the formation of the main pyrolysis gaseous species are also presented and discussed. The most dominant chemical element from the pyrolysis gas is N2, due to its constant presence as non-oxidant agent in the process. Considering the same premise, the rape straw pyrolysis gaseous species distribution in the temperature range of 600°C-800°C varies between: 47%-58% CO2, 18%-28% CO, 14%-35% H2, while the pyrolysis gas density 1.1-1.4 kg/m3 and higher heating value 23-52 MJ/kg.
