Abstract:
Supercritical water gasification is gasification of biomass in hot compressed water whose temperature and pressure are above critical values of water. Effect of heating rate is known to affect the gasification efficiency, which is not usual for conventional gasification. In this study, heating rate was changed by changing the length of preheater and mixture of glucose and guaiacol was gasified in supercritial water. Glucose is known to produce char by ionic reaction, and guaiacol is known to produce char by radical reaction. Compared to the gasification of glucose only, addition of small amount of guaiacol changed the effect of heating rate largely. This may be due to consumption of hydrogen by guaiacol.
