Prevention of Slagging in the Gasification of Plant Biomass

Abstract

Abstract: The process of gasification of biomasses of plant origin containing the additives of sulfur oil shale was studied. It was shown that the presence of sulfur oil shale in the mixtures decreased and, in some cases (at a high sulfur content of oil shale), prevented the appearance of deposits (slagging) on the equipment walls. It was established that a maximum effect was achieved with the addition of 5% oil shale containing at least 16% sulfur.
