Co-gasification of coal–petcoke and biomass in the Puertollano IGCC power plant

Physical properties of PZ solution used as a solvent for CO2 removal

“…Thus, climate changes forced by CO 2 depend primarily on cumulative emissions, making it progressively more and more difficult to avoid further substantial greenhouse effects (NOAA, 2013); their mitigation has become a challenge for many years because of their deleterious effects on social, economic and environmental aspects. Therefore the interest in the development of CO 2 capture technology has increased due to the rising effects of global warming (IPCC, 2012) and many techniques have been developed, the most commonly applied being absorption by chemical solvents (Diamantonis et al, 2013;Khan et al, 2011;Lucquiaud and Gibbins, 2011;Mores et al, 2011Mores et al, , 2012Posch and Haider, 2013;Sofia et al, 2014). This technology is a mature technology, with monoethanolamine (MEA), diethanolamine (DEA) and methyldiethanolamine (MDEA) (Khoo and Tan, 2006;Langé et al, 2013;Pellegrini et al, 2011Pellegrini et al, , 2013; * Corresponding author.…”

Relationship between ash fusion temperatures of ashes from hard coal, brown coal, and biomass and mineral phases under different atmospheres: A combined FactSage™ computational and network theoretical approach

“…Since in common gasification plants, for example entrained-flow gasification [4], the particular solid fuel has to be adapted to the required liquid ash state, which might need the use of flux additives. Biomass blending has been intended to avoid expensive flux additives and due to environmental and economic reasons [5,6]. Additionally, a positive effect on plant operation has been associated to biomass blending [7].…”

Process Design of a Multi-Product Lignocellulosic Biorefinery

“…Several works aimed to determine which process is the best way to produce one or more products using lignocellulosic biomass. It has been widely used also to simulate biomass conversion plants exploiting combustion/gasification processes to produce electricity (Sofia et al, 2014) and also biorefining and fermentation processes (Humbird et al, 2011). Okoli and Adams (2014) evaluated the techno-economic feasibility of a lignocellulosic biorefinery producing biobutanol using thermochemical processes.…”
