Analysis of hydrogen production potential from waste plastics by pyrolysis and in line oxidative steam reforming

Maria Cortazar et al.

Summary: The study investigated the valorization of different waste plastics through pyrolysis and oxidative steam reforming, validating a thermodynamic simulation tool using experimental results. The impact of process conditions on H-2 production and reaction enthalpy was assessed, leading to the determination of optimal conditions for oxidative steam reforming of plastics. The results demonstrated the potential interest of this novel valorization route, achieving H-2 productions up to 25 wt% under autothermal conditions.

Contributions of pyrolysis, volatile reforming and char gasification to syngas production during steam gasification of raw and torrefied leftover rice

Jingchun Huang et al.

Summary: Steam gasification of leftover rice involves pyrolysis, volatile reforming, and char gasification stages. Experiments conducted at temperatures ranging from 600 to 1000 degrees C show that raw leftover rice can be cracked into volatile products at 600 degrees C, generating high yields of tar and gas. The study also demonstrates that torrefied leftover rice generates lower gas yields at all pyrolysis temperatures. This research provides valuable data for designing suitable gasification reactors for food waste.

Fundamentals and applications of char in biomass tar reforming

Jie Ren et al.

Summary: In recent decades, the focus of research has shifted towards producing value-added chemicals from biomass through gasification into syngas for further conversion into various products. Heterogeneous catalyst design plays a crucial role in reducing tar formation during biomass gasification, with char and char-supported catalysts emerging as effective alternatives due to their chemical inertness, cost-effectiveness, and excellent pore structures. The modification and functionalization of char through doping and metal addition show potential for enhancing the activity of these catalysts in tar reforming, highlighting the importance of sustainable fuel development and green practices.
