Small scale gasification of Solid Recovered Fuels (SRF) in downdraft reactors could be an alternative to large scale waste-to-energy schemes. In this perspective, the assessment of the pollutant emissions at pilot scale is necessary. This work compares pollutant emissions from wood and SRF air gasification in a downdraft fixed bed gasifier. Five fuels have been studied: Poplar wood, SRF wood, and three different mixtures containing mass fractions of 80% SRF wood with 20% of either tire, plastic waste or sewage sludge. Air gasification was performed in a pilot scale reactor in fed-batch mode using a fuel mass ranging from 5 to 8 kg and an air inlet flow of 170-180 L min-1 (at 0°C and 101 325 Pa). Depending on the fuel, Equivalence Ratios (ER) ranged from 0.22 to 0.29 and gasification temperatures from 690 to 850°C. Emissions analyses were performed on product gas, condensable species and remaining chars, with a particular focus on sulfur, nitrogen and heavy metals. Regarding sulfur, wood and SRF wood led to low H2S contents (6-8μmol mol-1), when SRF mixes led to higher concentrations (44-96μmol mol-1) in addition to of up to 11 heavier sulfur compounds Regarding nitrogen, SRF produced higher ammonia concentrations (2.1-7.6 mmol mol-1) than Wood (619μmol mol-1), as a result of initial nitrogen mass fractions17 to 27 times higher in the SRF mixes. Heavy metals analyzed in remaining solids after gasification showed low recovery rates (<0.4%), and tend to accumulate in fine particles, as a result of their volatility. This study involved multiple reactions and reactants, such as 2,5-Dimethylthiophene (cas: 638-02-8Category: benzothiophene).
2,5-Dimethylthiophene (cas: 638-02-8) belongs to benzothiophene derivatives. Benzothiophene is relatively a stable molecule. The core structure is a part of various pharmaceutical substances and natural products. Its aromaticity makes it relatively stable, although as a heterocycle, it has reactive sites which allow for functionalization.Category: benzothiophene
