Abstract

An experimental investigation into the conversion of ethanol to syngas by partial oxidation in a non-premixed counterflow moving bed filtration combustion reactor was carried out. Regimes of conversion depending on the mass flow rates of fuel and air (separate feeding), as well as a granular solid heat carrier, were studied. Depending on the mass flow rate of the heat carrier, two combustion modes were realized—reaction trailing and intermediate—with different temperature patterns in the gas preheating, combustion, and cooling zones along the reactor. The product gas composition is far from the predictions of the equilibrium model; it contains substation fractions of methane and ethylene. Combustion temperature and conversion are limited by the relatively high level of heat loss from the laboratory-scale reactor. The effect of the heat loss can be reduced by enhancing the absolute flow rate of the reactants.
