Abstract:
This paper presents the results of two processes for thermochemical conversion of biomass, the fast pyrolysis of eucalyptus wood, and the gasification of sugarcane straw, both in a lab scale fluidized bed reactor. The bio-oil yield obtained from pyrolysis of eucalyptus wood was 64.4 wt.%, water content of 31 wt.%, HHV of 16.59 MJ/kg, and chloride content of 0.020 ± 0.003 wt.%. During the sugarcane straw gasification, a fuel gas mass yield of 87.46 wt.% had been obtained using just atmospheric air with an equivalence ratio of 30%.
