Thermochemical conversion of biomass I
Thermochemical biomass conversion - Involves deconstructing biomass and upgrading the resulting intermediates into a range of fuels and other products
Combustion
Exothermic chemical reaction
Method
Fixed bed
Burner
Moving bed
Rotary hearth furnace
Fluidized bed
Combined heat and power (CHP)
Production of electricity and heat from one energy source at the same time
Co-firing
Gasification
Biomass is heated in O2 limited atmosphere to produce gaseous fuel
450 – 900 oC
Pyrolysis technology
Heating of biomass in the absence of air at 300-500 oC
Volatiles can be used as bio-oil
Torrefaction
A feasible thermal method for improving the properties of biomass as a fuel
Dry
Wet
Chemical conversion
Generation of electrons in oxidation process of biomass can be used for fuel cells to generate electricity.
Hydrolysis
Partial oxidation
combustion
Carbonization
Hydrothermal reactions for decomposing biomass
Pyrolysis
