Abstract

The continuous increase in energy demand and the growing attention on global warming worldwide have aroused great research interest in a novel near zero emission energy utilization system which is based on CaO sorption enhanced gasification. This paper presents the experimental results of pressurized CaO sorption enhanced sawdust gasification in a self-design pressurized fluidized bed gasifier, aiming to survey the effects of reaction pressure, CaO to carbon mole ratio (CaO/C), steam to carbon mole ratio (H2O/C) and reaction temperature (T) on hydrogen (H2) production under pressurized gasification conditions. Results showed that the pressurized operation not only promoted gasification reactions, but also apparently enhanced CaO carbonation. Within the experimental ranges investigated in this work, H2 fraction and H2 yield were both elevated with the increase in reaction pressure, CaO/C, H2O/C and T. Comparing with previous atmospheric fluidized bed gasification results, pressurized gasification was capable of producing syngas with higher H2 fraction and lower CO2 fraction even at lower CaO/C, H2O/C and T. It was also verified that pressurized operation increased the carbon conversion and cold gas efficiency for CaO sorption enhanced sawdust gasification.
