Abstract
Due to the environmental problems associated with burning of fossil fuels and population growth, more attention has been paid to develop renewable energies in recent years. Among all options for renewable energy utilization, biomass gasification is more popular because of environmental benefits and economic issues. In the present study, a series of experiments were carried out to study the influence of blending ratio, reaction temperature, equivalence ratio (ER) on co-gasification characteristics of pine sawdust (SD) and municipal solid waste (MSW). By increasing the blending ratio from 100% SD to 100% MSW, CO and CH4 respectively increased from 16.7 to 18.8 vol% and from 4.1 to 5.1 vol%, while an opposite trend was found for H2 and CO2. Over the ranges of the experimental conditions used, the tar content and gas yield varied from 5.4 to 10.1 g/Nm3 and 1.34 to 1.15 Nm3/kg, respectively.
