Hydrogen Production by Chemical Looping Gasification of Corn Stalk Driven by a tert-Butanol Solution

doi:10.1007/s40242-019-9225-z

Abstract

Abstract: The purpose of this work is to convert organic wastewater into oxidants(H₂O and CO₂) to promote biomass gasification during the chemical looping process to achieve high-H₂/CO-ratio syngas. A tert-butanol solution was selected as the model organic wastewater to generate enough H₂O and CO₂ to promote corn stalk chemical looping gasification(CLG). A series of CLG experiments was conducted at 850℃ under various degrees of oxygen excess(Ω). An Ω of approximately 0.9 led to the highest hydrogen yield and fixed carbon conversion compared with the other cases. Chemometrics and thermodynamic analysis further validated the possibility of corn stalk CLG using a tert-butanol solution. The results show that CLG of biomass-organic wastewater can both treat organic waste and promote chemical looping processes.

Key words: Chemical looping gasification, Hydrogen energy, Biomass, Wastewater, Oxygen carrier
