Abstract:The objective of this study is to determine the catalytic potential and adsorption characteristics of coal bottom ash (CBA) for utilization in biomass gasification for cleaner fuel production. The analysis shows the presence of metals such as Fe, Al, Ca, and Mg in CBA that have been used as common elements of catalysts in gasification. The surface of CBA is porous and consists of irregular shape particles and crystalline structure determined using characterization techniques. The surface area (51.02 m 2 /g), p… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
