Effect of mass flow rate and temperature on the gasification of animal fat
Araújo, A.L.; Paiva, E.; Silva, F.T.; Ribeiro, A.; Campos, J.B.L.M.; Pilão, R.M.In this work, gasification of animal fat was studied. Tests were performed with an emulsion of fat and water and temperature and mass flow rate effects were evaluated. Gas chromatography was used to analyze the composition of producer gas. Carbon and hydrogen conversion efficiencies, dry gas yield, cold gas efficiency, and higher heating value of producer gas were determined. The results showed that temperature...
Effect of temperature on the gasification of animal fat: Preliminary results
Araujo, A.L.; Silva, F.T.; Ribeiro, A.C.; Campos, J.B.L.M.; Pilão, R.M.In this work, steam reforming of animal fat was studied using a fixed bed reactor. The effect of temperature was evaluated in the range of 750 and 950°C. Gas chromatography was used to analyze the gas sample and determine the gas composition. The results showed that the temperature greatly influences the gas composition and gasification process. The gasification parameters increased with the temperature rise, a...
Influence of the operating temperature on the slow pyrolysis of pinecones
Nascimento, M.; Silva, F.; Pilão, R.M.; Neto, M.P.; Ribeiro, A.M.This study investigated the production of biochars, bio-oils and non-condensable gas from pinecones through pyrolysis. The effect of temperature on the yields of the three phases and their characterization was studied. Char yield varied from 39.7 to 29.5 % and gas yield increased from 22.1 to 33.9 % as temperature rose from 408 to 661 ºC. Bio-oil yield increased from 38.3% at 408 ºC to 39.9 % at 562 ºC and then...
