Abstract

The morphological evolution and heat transfer characteristics of biomass briquette greatly affect the directional regulation of target products during steam gasification process. In this work, a visual gasifier with an on-line temperature monitoring system was developed to investigate the coupling relationship between the morphological change and temperature distribution of biomass briquette. The gasification behaviors of biomass briquette at different temperatures and steam concentrations were comprehensively examined and compared. The shrinkage rate and heating rate of biomass briquette both reached the maximum at 1–2 min. The morphological evolution of biomass briquette in the heating process was shrinking particle mode, then changed to the shrinking core mode when the biomass temperature kept relatively stable. The high-quality syngas with a high H2/CO ratio of 3.07 at 50 vol% steam concentration and 700 °C was obtained, which were idealized to synthesize other fuels/chemicals.
