Abstract:Agricultural residues were characterized to determine their feasibility as feedstock for plasma gasification. Husk, stalk, straw and shell were selected for the study and proximate analysis, elemental composition analysis, thermal value analysis were carried out using standard procedures. Producer gas generated from these bio-residues is well suited for plasma gasification process where the working temperature is between 1200-2000ºC. These substances have moisture content in the range of 5-12%, and volatile ma… 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.
