Abstract
Soot is an aerosol formed by incomplete combustion of carbonaceous materials, and its formation in biomass gasification is inevitable. It is crucial to know the properties of the soot produced in the exhaust of gasification reactors in order to appreciate both its advantages and disadvantages. In this study, a variety of analytical techniques were used to examine the content and morphology of biomass soot produced by a top-lit updraft gasifier. The results of the experiment revealed that carbon and oxygen make up the majority of the soot, with minor amounts of other components. Both aromatic and aliphatic groups with significant oxygen concentrations can be seen in the soot based on the distribution of functional groups. The morphology revealed an uneven, stratified, amorphous sample. Meanwhile, the sample had a surface area of 193.8 m2/g and a pore diameter of 2.68 nm. These porous qualities point to a potential use of the soot sample as an adsorbent in water filtration after activation.
