Abstract:
For some time the charcoal obtained from biomass pyrolysis has mostly been used elsewhere. A research group at the Lithuanian Energy Institute developed a reactor for fast gasification of used tires where char is produced as a by-product. The residual char may be used for direct combustion as fuel and also for the proposed thermal catalytic tar cracking. This work investigates catalytic removal of real tars produced during biomass pyrolysis over the char obtained by waste tire pyrolysis. The decomposition of tars investigated at three temperatures of 700, 800 and 900ºC and addition of CO2 gas; effect of initial CO2 concentration on the catalyst activity to the product composition identified.
