This study focuses on the operation of Ni-YSZ-based SOFC fueled with artificial fuel gas simulating syngas from biomass gasification. H2, CO, CO2 and H2O were mixed to make up artificial fuel gas with various compositions. Electrochemical behaviors were investigated under constant current conditions at 1073K during 8h using Galvano-stat. Cyclic voltammetry was also conducted to assess the stability of SOFC. Measurement results showed that CO2 and H2O have significant impacts on power generation performance. In particular, the performance degradation was significant in the absence of CO2.

YOSHIIE Ryo, SHIRATO Daisuke, ODA Masaya, UEKI Yasuaki, NARUSE Ichiro

Journal of the Combustion Society of Japan Vol. 64 ( 207 ) page： 74 - 79 2022

Language：Japanese Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal) Publisher：Combustion Society of Japan

Biomass gasification processes are recently attracting attention to produce renewable gaseous fuels as alternatives of fossil fuels. However, raw woody biomass resources to be able to use for biomass gasification are limited because the biomass containing high moisture may lead to low heating values of the gaseous fuels produced, which are inappropriate for the use in gas engines. Then, the introduction of oxygen-enriched air into the gasification reactor has been proposed in this study, which can reduce heat loss during the gasification due to the sensible heat of nitrogen in the gasified gas and increase concentrations of combustible substances in the syngas. Additionally, high partial pressure of oxygen promotes the gasification reaction rates, improving the carbon conversion efficiency. A downdraft packed bed gasifier, which is known to be suitable for small-scale distributed utilization of biomass resources, was selected for woody biomass gasification experiments in this study. After switching the inlet gas from air to oxygen enriched air, the temperature at the top surface of biomass pellet bed rose sharply. The temperature through the packed bed was also kept high under the oxygen enriched air gasification, compared with the normal air gasification. Moreover, the syngas with more H2 and CO significantly increased. The thermo-equilibrium calculations were conducted to confirm the gaseous compositions and their difference between the air and oxygen enriched air gasification. As a result, the calculation was almost consistent with the experimental results obtained.

Journal of the Japan Society of Material Cycles and Waste Management Vol. 33 ( 0 ) page： 11 - 17 2022

Language：Japanese Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal) Publisher：Japan Society of Material Cycles and Waste Management

CO2 emissions from ironmaking processes should be reduced to avoid global warming. One promising solution is the effective utilization of organic waste materials in ironmaking processes. In this study, fundamental research on the application of organic waste materials, carbonized municipal waste (CMW) and carbonized woody biomass (CWB), as reducing agents was conducted experimentally to make metal iron from iron oxide. In the reduction experiments of the mixture of iron oxide (Fe2O3) with reducing agents (CMW, CWB, coal and graphite), metal iron was obtained with CMW and CWB. This is because the reactivity of fixed carbon in CMW and CWB is higher than that in coal and graphite. As a result, CMW and CWB are usable as reducing agents to make reduced iron.

The effects of hydrocarbon-contained in fuel gas on SOFC with Ni-YSZ as anode are evaluated in this study. Low concentration of toluene was mixed with 96.9％ hydrogen and 3.1％ steam to simulate bio-syngas, corresponding to current developments of biomass gasification technology. Power generation performance was investigated under Galvano-static-mode with toluene concentrations from 0 mg/Nm3 to 1900 mg/Nm3 at 850 °C for 30 hours. Impedance spectroscopy under OCV conditions was also conducted to assess SOFC’s internal resistance. As the result, SOFC shows a good stability and generation performance without toluene exposure. However, the voltage decreases even under a low concentration of 380 mg/Nm3 while keeping current density constant at 200 mA/cm2. Furthermore, this degradation tends to be serious as concentration of toluene increases. Dramatic voltage drop and visible carbon deposition should not be insignificant when toluene’s concentration was 1900 mg/Nm3. This performance loss seems to be recovered to a certain extent without serious structure destruction on anode.

In recent years, biomass gasification technology has been attracting more and more attention as an environmentally friendly biomass conversion technology. Biomass char gasification is the most important step of the overall operation of biomass gasification. The char gasification reaction is the limiting step in the global gasification reaction and is of major importance in designing biomass gasifier. In this study, biomass char gasification experiments in H2O, CO2 and their mixtures were carried out in a batch type vertical tube furnace. The gasification characteristics and temperature dependence of biomass char in various gasifying agents were experimentally investigated. We also studied the mixed atmosphere gasification and found the char reactivity in a mixed atmosphere of steam and carbon dioxide can be expressed as the sum of the individual reactivity obtained in single atmosphere gasification experiments.

Oxy-fuel combustion has drawn attention all over the world as useful technique to achieve carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS). This technology enriches CO2 in exhaust gas by the flue gas recirculation with adding pure oxygen to combustion atmosphere, which makes easy to capture CO2 for CCS. Meanwhile, bubbling fluidized bed (BFB) combustion has advantages of high combustion efficiency due to its homogeneous particle mixing and temperature. However, there are few studies of BFB boiler with oxy-fuel combustion system focusing on the formation mechanism of sulfur oxides such as SO2 and SO3. In this study, we focused on the mechanism of sulfur oxides formation under oxy-fuel BFB combustion. We conducted lab-scale BFB coal combustion experiment under air, CO2-O2, and oxy-fuel conditions, and measured SO2, SO3 and NO emissions in flue gas. Then, we compare the formation behaviors and reaction mechanisms of sulfur oxides and nitrogen oxide under those three atmospheres.

Woody biomass is attracting attention as an alternative energy to fossil fuels. The use of woody biomass is expected to expand in the future. In order to use biomass efficiently as a fuel, it is necessary to clarify its combustion characteristics. Therefore, in this study, in order to clarify the combustion characteristics of biomass, a biomass combustion experiment was conducted using a bubble fluidized bed. Palm Kernel Shell (PKS) was used as an experimental sample. The effect of temperature on the combustion behaviors of biomass was experimentally considered.

Operational problems in biomass-fired boilers include ash deposition to heat transfer tubes and corrosion of heat transfer tubes. Therefore, in this study, we focused on potassium compounds in biomass and conducted an ash deposition experiment using an electrically heated drop tube furnace. In the experiment, potassium-containing mineral (K-feldspar) was used as simulated ash. The amount of ash deposition in various atmospheres was measured. The cross section of samples was observed and analyzed by SEM-EDX, and the atmosphere dependence of the ash deposition characteristics was experimentally considered.

YOSHIIE Ryo, YAMADA Atsushi, NUNOME Yoko, UEKI Yasuaki, NARUSE Ichiro

Journal of Thermal Science and Technology Vol. 16 ( 3 ) page： JTST0034 - JTST0034 2021

Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal) Publisher：The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers and The Heat Transfer Society of Japan

When the biomass gasifier is connected with a gas engine system directly, tar should be removed from the syngas to prevent the engine from breaking down. A downdraft packed bed gasifier has the advantage for low tar emission because the syngas passes through the char gasification zone downstream of the reactor, where tar compounds can be trapped and decomposed. Then, objective of this study is to confirm the tar decomposition behaviors inside the downdraft packed bed reactor. Woody biomass gasification experiments were carried out, using an auto-thermal downdraft packed bed gasifier. The reactor’s height and inner diameter were 1000mm and 100mm, respectively. Black pine pallets were continuously fed into the reactor from the top. The gasifying agent was air, which was introduced into the reactor at the air-fuel equivalent ratio of 0.49. The packed bed height was kept to be constant at 600mm. The reactor has eleven thermo-couples and eleven sampling ports at the wall along the flow direction. They were used for measurements of temperature profiles and gas compositions in the reactor. Micro-GC was used for the measurement of N2, O2, CO, CO2 and H2, and FIDGC was used for other hydrocarbons. In some ports among them, tar in syngas was also sampled via dichloromethane scrubbing in ice-bath, and analyzed for molecular weight distributions of tar compounds by TOF-MS. As a result, tar and larger hydrocarbons were confirmed to be generated in the upstream, and then decomposed downstream inside the downdraft reactor.

It is important to use combustible waste products as sustainable energy resources for reducing the usage of fossil fuels. One of the simplest ways to do that is the thermal recycling, in which waste products are burned in boilers to drive steam turbines and so on. To design boilers with high efficiencies and low environmental impacts, the residence time for char burnout in combustion zone should be appropriately estimated for each solid fuel. Sewage sludge accounts for 20% of industrial waste products discharged in Japan, although the large part of it is just incinerated without thermal recycling. Then, the objective in this study is to investigate fundamental combustion behaviors of sewage sludge as a solid fuel, in particular, to estimate char burnout in sewage sludge combustion, compared with other solid fuels like woody biomass. Thermo-gravimetrical analysis was combined with iso-thermal combustion experiments of dried sewage sludge samples. Effects of temperature and oxygen concentration were examined, and experimental results were analyzed based on reaction kinetics.

Tar catalytic removal by char is a promising technology for gasification process because of its porous structure, good catalytic activity, low cost, and easy to treatment after deactivation. To provide comprehensive information on the tar catalytic removal by char, this study focuses on the ongoing efforts and advances from fundamental researches to the industrial applications. The tar removal efficiency by char much depends on reaction conditions and char property, such as char origin, porous structure, the functional group on char surface, carbon structure, and AAEM components. The typical reaction kinetics, reaction mechanism, and the deactivation, will be introduced. Then, for the different gasification processes, the potential or typical applications of tar removal by char are discussed and compared. Finally, a comprehensive analysis and improvement in scaling up, commercializing tar removal technologies and integrating the gasification process, are also evaluated and analyzed in this review.

An incineration process is the most dominant method of the waste disposal in Japan. A stoker furnace incinerator is widely used for the waste incineration. In the stoker furnace incinerator, waste products can be sufficiently stirred and burned completely. Recently, low air ratio and high temperature incineration have been applied to the stoke furnace incinerator to improve efficiencies of power generations. However, they result in the increase in the amount of air pollutant NOx due to their higher flame temperatures. In addition, Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system, which is also applied into advanced incinerators, makes the NOx formation more complicated. In this research, NOx and other gaseous emissions from RDF char combustion were experimentally analyzed, investigating effects of exhaust gas compositions on NOx formations.

O-17　Biomass Gasification in Oxygen-enriched Air with Packed Bed Gasifier

Proceedings of the Conference on Biomass Science Vol. 15 ( 0 ) page： 31 - 32 2019.12

Language：Japanese Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal) Publisher：The Japan Institute of Energy

In recent years, biomass gasification processes are attracting attention to produce renewable gaseous fuels. However, it is difficult to use raw biomass because it has low heating values. So, we considered the introduction of oxygen enriched air. By supplying oxygen-enriched air, the heat loss due to water evaporation can be compensated. It is considered that partial combustion of the fuel can be promoted and sufficient heat can be obtained. In the experiments, we used a packed bed gasifier. This gasifier is small in size and suitable for small-scale distributed utilization of biomass. From the experimental results, it was found that even if moisture content of the wet biomass is high, the gasification of the biomass is possible by increasing the oxygen concentration of the gasifying agent. The syngas contained more H2 and CO compared with normal biomass gasification.
