Energy recovery from cross-linked polyethylene wastes using pyrolysis and CO2 assisted gasification

Energy Recovery from Municipal Solid Wastes by Gasification

Recovery of energy from MSW by combustion in Waste-to-Energy (WTE) plants reduces land filling and air/water emissions, and also lessens dependence on fossil fuels for power generation. The objective of this study was to assess the potential of gasification processes as an alternative to the combustion of MSW. Gasification uses a relatively small amount of oxygen or water vapor to convert the o...

Energy from gasification of solid wastes.

Gasification technology is by no means new: in the 1850s, most of the city of London was illuminated by "town gas" produced from the gasification of coal. Nowadays, gasification is the main technology for biomass conversion to energy and an attractive alternative for the thermal treatment of solid waste. The number of different uses of gas shows the flexibility of gasification and therefore all...

Clean Hydrogen Energy and Electric Power Production with CO2 Capturing by Using Coal Gasification

Clean hydrogen is the major energy carrier for power production. The conversion of CO to CO2 and zero emission during hydrogen energy production causes high capital cost. It is a matter of prestige to optimize the process in order to make zero emission and cost effective production of clean hydrogen energy and electric power. In this era, coal gasification is th...

Integrated microwave drying, pyrolysis and gasification for valorisation of organic wastes to syngas

The development of integrated platforms is desirable in order to improve the efficiency of biorefineries. This study deals with an innovative all-in-one thermochemical process (drying, pyrolysis and gasification) based on the use of microwave energy, which could eliminate the need to pre-dry municipal solid waste in order to produce a high quantity of synthesis gas. Depending on the initial moi...
