Biomass Gasification
Monday, November 8, 2010 - 1:49pm to 2:06pm
Particle size fractions (0.5 to 4.0 mm) of seven different feedstocks were studied in a biomass gasifier at 850°C. Light gases were measured and tars were analyzed by a molecular beam mass spectrometer; the results were correlated to the feedstock analyses.
