“…Nonthermal plasma (NTP) technology offers several advantages for tar removal from gasification processes. ,,,,,,− Some of the key advantages of using nonthermal plasma for tar removal include the following: (1) high reaction rates − due to the presence of energetic electrons and other species; (2) nonselective reactivity − , due to the possibility to simultaneously break down a wide range of tar compounds in the mix unlike catalysts, a suitable feature for scenarios such as gasifier tar containing mixture of tar compounds; (3) wide operating temperature ranges; ,− (4) scalability, allowing gas cleaning in different scales of gasification operations from lab and pilot scales to industrial scale; and (5) environmental benefits ,, due to converting the tar compound rather than separating the tar compounds from the gas, which pollutes the environment upon disposal.…”

Gasification is an advanced thermochemical process that converts carbonaceous feedstock into syngas, a mixture of hydrogen, carbon monoxide, and other gases. However, the presence of tar in syngas, which is composed of higher molecular weight aromatic hydrocarbons, poses significant challenges for the downstream utilization of syngas. This Review offers a comprehensive overview of tar from gasification, encompassing gasifier chemistry and configuration that notably impact tar formation during gasification. It explores the concentration and composition of tar in the syngas and the purity of syngas required for the applications. Various tar removal methods are discussed, including mechanical, chemical/catalytic, and plasma technologies. The Review provides insights into the strengths, limitations, and challenges associated with each tar removal method. It also highlights the importance of integrating multiple techniques to enhance the tar removal efficiency and syngas quality. The selection of an appropriate tar removal strategy depends on factors such as tar composition, gasifier operating and design factors, economic considerations, and the extent of purity required at the downstream application. Future research should focus on developing cleaning strategies that consume less energy and cause a smaller environmental impact.
