Abstract:
Supercritical water gasification (SCWG) of glycine was studied in a tubular flow reactor which has the inside diameter of 2.17 mm and the length of 12 m. The experiments were carried out at 500650 oC, 25 MPa with residence times in a range of 63188 s. Activated carbon of 0.5 wt% was used as a catalyst. The results showed that the increase of temperature and residence time enhanced the gasification efficiency. Although, higher concentration resulted in lower gasification efficiency, at glycine concentration of 1.0 wt%, first order reaction could be assumed. Activated carbon was not effective for glycine gasification. Preexponential factor of 2.73×104 s1 and activation energy of 106.9 kJ/mol were obtained.
