Coal and torrefied biomass co-gasification is one of the potential solutions to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. For this study, Jatropha seed cake was torrefied at a temperature range of 200 to 300 degrees C under a nitrogen atmosphere. The torrefied material was then co-pyrolyzed and isothermally co-gasified at 900 degrees C with two Illinois (IL) #6 coal chars in a fixed-bed reactor connected to an on-line gas chromatography analyzer. Carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide were the primary gas products from the torrefaction process. Kinetic models, such as the shrinking core model, the homogenous model, and the catalysis-controlled model, were used to analyze the gasification mechanism. The results showed that the shrinking core and homogenous models provided the best fits for the gasification reaction data. Jatropha seed cake torrefied at 260 and 280 degrees C exhibited the best reaction activity with the IL #6 coal chars. The reactivities of coal char with torrefied biomass obtained at 200 and 300 degrees C were lower in comparison with the others.
