Abstract

The waste biomass has immense opportunities and plenty of potentials to be an efficient source of renewable energy. Initially, native unripe coconut husk (NCH) was used as raw material for fluidized bed gasification. Then NCH was treated with paper and pulp waste water to impregnate metals present in it for getting enhanced H2 yield in fuel gas. Humidified air was used as gasifying medium, which served the purpose of introducing water vapour to take part in the gasification process. Then after, gasification medium was retrofitted with CO2, which enhanced both the higher heating value (HHV), and CO and H2 content in the fuel gas. This research serves the dual benefit of energy generation and waste minimization. HHV of unripe coconut husk was investigated and found to be 20.95 MJ/kg. H2 yield and HHV from impregnated coconut husk (ICH) were obtained as 55.55 vol % and 5.24 MJ/Nm3, respectively at HER 0.1 and gasification temperature of 850 °C in case of fluidized bed gasification. The GC-MS analysis of fuel oil obtained from ICH gasification was done to get the information about high yield of fuel gas as promise product of fluidized bed gasification.
