Abstract:
Livestock manure can be quickly converted into valuable products (H(2), syn-gas and char) by low temperature gasification. Manure char combustion offers energy for the gasification reactions. In the paper, the influence of manure type and pyrolysis conditions on manure char reactivity is addressed. The results show that the oxidation behaviors of manure char are dependent strongly on manure type and pyrolysis conditions employed. The large difference between the oxidation behaviors of pig and hen manure chars can be attributed to the difference in the organic materials and minerals of the samples. High final temperature, flash pyrolysis and water steam atmosphere used for char preparation promote the resultant char reactivity.

Pyruvate Oxidation
First, the enzyme pyruvate dehydrogenase removes the carboxyl group from pyruvate and releases it as carbon dioxide. The stripped molecule is then oxidized and releases electrons, which are then picked up by NAD+...
