Description:
Bio-char was used as feedstock to investigate hydrogen production via steam gasification in a fluidized-bed reactor. The effects of reaction conditions such as reaction temperature and steam-to-char ratio on hydrogen yield, potential hydrogen yield, and carbon conversion were studied. Finally, 83.3 mol hydrogen was generated per kilogram of bio-char through steam gasification of bio-char in a fluidized-bed reactor. Bio-char served as feedstock to perform hydrogen production by means of steam gasification in a fluidized-bed reactor. The influence of gasification temperature and steam-to-char ratio was evaluated. The optimal contact of bio-char with steam in this reactor leads to enhanced carbon conversion, hydrogen production, and large-scale production.
