Gasification of lignocellulosic biomass in a fluidized bed gasifier is a preferred option for
gaseous fuel generation and solid waste management. Erosion, slagging and …

Direct (air) biomass gasification was demonstrated in a pilot-scale bubbling fluidized bed
reactor and the influence of process parameters analyzed. For the operating conditions …

In this study, the anti-agglomeration abilities of Ca-and Mg-containing bed materials,
including dolomite and magnesite, in a pressurized bubbling fluidized bed gasifier using …

In the near future, biomass is expected to be a key resource for fulfilling clean energy
