Title: Hydrogen production from black liquor wastes. [By pyrolytic gasification of black liquor]

OSTI ID:7344106

The production of hydrogen in concentrations greater than 85 percent in the gas from pyrolytic gasification of black liquor is technically feasible. The addition of caustic soda to the black liquor not only enhances the gasification reaction, but also increases the hydrogen concentration in the product gas. Other reagents, such as calcined limestone or dolomite, may be substituted for the caustic soda. Thus, a waste material, which presents a disposal problem and a potential pollution hazard, can be converted to products for useful fuels, chemical feedstocks, and/or applications.
