Pyrolysis of biomass in a jet spouted bed reactor
- Universidad del Pais Vasco, Bilbao (Spain)
In this paper, the pyrolysis of sawdust and agroforest residues has been studied in a new reactor of conical geometry with the original regime of dilute spouted bed or jet spouted bed. On the basis of an experimental study in a wide range of conditions (temperature, biomass/nitrogen flowrate ratio, particle size and biomass nature) the good performance of the contactor has been proven. In addition to its great versatility, it is noteworthy that no inert material is needed (the char formed facilitates cyclic particle movement) and that a liquid product of high quality for its posterior use is obtained at low temperatures (down to 350 {degrees}C) and high conversion (up to 70%). The short gas residence time (10-100 milliseconds) minimizes the secondary decomposition reactions and the formation of gaseous and liquid byproducts. 14 refs., 1 fig., 1 tab.
