Abstract
The development and evolution of the theory of solid fuel combustion took place in the mid-20th century. The most studied research subject was sized fossil coal. At the same time the research on the fuels with a high yield of volatile matter (biomass) was limited due to insufficient data on kinetics of physical and chemical processes that occur at their heating. Obviously, the creation of a prospective low-tonnage technology for staged gasification of wooden biomass is possible only when a detailed mechanism of these processes is well understood and their kinetic parameters are known. This paper presents the initial results of the development of a model of wood pyrolysis in a screw reactor as the first stage of the multistage gasification process. One of the currently set goals in this research is to develop a mathematical model of heat and mass transfer processes to perform optimization calculations.
