Abstract:
Biomass staged gasification technology (BSGT) divides the traditional gasification into medium-temperature devolatilization (MTD) stage, high-temperature gasification (HTG) stage and high-temperature reforming (HTR) stage. The present study conducted MTD and HTG experiments on corn stalks and focused on the effect of MTD at 200-550 °C on the reforming performance of BSGT liquid products through component analysis and simulation. The results demonstrate that the MTD temperature above 350 °C could prevent the participation of phenols and oxygen in HTG and HTR stages, respectively, thereby improving the reforming performance of BSGT liquid products and the quality of BSGT syngas. The H2 production and H2/CO of the BSGT at MTD temperature of 350-550 °C increased by 1.81-5.01 mmol/g and 0.64-0.79, respectively compared to that of the traditional gasification. The findings of the present study are of great significance for achievement of high-value utilization of BSGT liquid products.
