INVESTIGATION OF THE COMPOSITION OF BIOMASS-GASIFICATION PRODUCTS IN A PSEUDOLIQUID LAYER
V. A. Borodulya, G. I. Pal'chenok, O. S. Rabinovich, and S. V. Vasilevich UDC 661.961 + 66.096.5 Experiments on gasification of the wood biomass in a pseudoliquefied layer are described. The experimental data obtained were compared to the results of calculations of the thermodynamically equilibrium composition of the synthesis gas. The influence of the type of catalyst and moisture of the wood biomass on the composition of the synthesis gas obtained has been investigated. A. V.
