Abstract:
:Biomass gasification was used to produce activated carbon on a pilot-scale fluidised-bed gasifier. The feedstock included both biomass alone and biomass mixed with coal and coal/granulated plastic wastes. This paper reports the results obtained from four different runs undertaken under various conditions of fuel supply, different ratios of steam/air for the gasification and temperature. These conditions were selected because they led to a significant amount of unconverted chars produced during gasification (from 0.72 to 1.4 kg) which then served as raw material for the production of activated carbon whilst the amount of gas obtained was also high enough for its potential use for different end-use applications. From the analysis of the results obtained, it can be concluded that a reasonable porosity development (mainly in the area of narrow micropores) was obtained by gasifying unblended pine wastes with steam for 4 h, producing about 1.4 kg of good-quality activated carbon (micropore volume of 0.263 cm(3)/g). In other runs, chars with a reduced microporosity development (i.e. 0.180 cm(3)/g) were obtained, however, they could be used as a proper starting material for the chemically activated carbon production.
