The present study is in two parts, the first part describes an investigation that was undertaken to determine the feasibility and hydrodynamic behaviour of a cold model circulating fluidized bed system proposed for the continuous combustion-gasification of biomass. The design is based on the principle that the char produced in the gasifier is circulated with the bed material and combusted in a ...

heavy metals due to their non biodegradability properties and can accumulate in living tissues, thus becoming concentrated throughout the food chain and can be readily absorbed into the human body. among them manganese was examined in this study as a pollutant. the aim of this study is the manganese removal from aqueous solution using a windy sand fixed bed column of sistan plain. flow rate, in...

In this study, hydrogen production performances of groundnut shells in a circulating fluidized bed gasifier is evaluated by employing previously developed and validated model. Basically, we simulate gasification system that connected to water-gas shift reactor, for purification with the temperature 1150 K. We find amount gas produced from increases 49.25 kmol 68.83 (per 1000 kg raw shells) when...

This study investigated the effect, on reactor performance and biomass retention inside the bed, of the material used to make the supports of anaerobic fixed-bed reactors. Three inert supports of similar shape but made of three different materials polyvinyl chloride, polypropylene, high-density polyethylene were manufactured and used. All three supports had the same specific surface area but di...
