CO/CO 2 ratio in biomass char oxidation

Preparation and Characteristics of Biomass Char

Rice husk and sawdust were selected as the raw materials for a study of biomass char yield in the range of 600 to 900 °C. It was found that temperature was the primary factor affecting the biomass char yield. The yield of the rice husk and sawdust chars decreased significantly with increasing temperature. As the residence time increased, the biomass char yield decreased. The smaller the size of...

Catalytic Pyrolysis of Tar Model Compound with Various Bio-Char Catalysts to Recycle Char from Biomass Pyrolysis

Tar and char can be regarded as unwanted byproducts during the gasification process. In this study, three types of catalyst, i.e., biomass char (bio-char), nickel supported on biomass (Ni+bio-char), and nickel supported on bio-char (bio-char+Ni), were studied to compare the catalytic effects of different preparation methods on tar model compound removal. The structural characteristics of the th...

Catalytic Effect of Metal Species on Enhancement of CO2 Gasification Reactivity of Biomass Char

In the Boudouard reaction, where CO2 is reacted with carbon (char) to produce CO, very high temperatures are required to shift the equilibrium towards CO production. This endothermic reaction is inherently slow and catalytic species are effective to speed up the reaction rate at temperatures below 900 °C. In this study, the catalytic effect of some alkali (K, Na), alkaline earth (Ca) and transi...

British Machine Vision Conference 2 Char Iso Ini Mid End Char Iso Ini Mid End

We present a technique for extracting structural features from cursive Arabic script. After preprocessing, the skeleton of the binary word image is decomposed into a number of segments in a certain order. Each segment is transformed into a feature vector. The target features are the curvature of the segment, its length relative to other segment lengths of the same word, the position of the segm...
