Abstract:

The gasification experiments on distillers′ grain was conducted in a fixed-bed gasification plant with red mud as the catalyst and H2O/CO2 as the gasification agent.The effects of red mud addition,gasification temperature and H2O/CO2 ratio on the gasification characteristics of the distillers′ grain were investigated and the synergistic mechanism of H2O/CO2 co-gasification was discussed.The results showed that the gasification activity was best when red mud addition was 20%(mass fraction).The increased gasification temperature was beneficial to the gasification reaction activity.When V(H2O)/V(CO2) was increased,the syngas yield and n(H2)/n(CO) was also increased,up to 270.7 mmol/g and 6.67.The co-gasification under H2O/CO2 mixed atmosphere produced significant synergistic effect,and the synergistic factor was peaked at 60% H2O-40% CO2(volume fraction).Raman,SEM and BET analysis showed that the amorphous carbon and amorphous carbon structure of the distillers′ grain coke in the H2O/CO2 mixed atmosphere was more severely damaged than that in pure H2O or CO2,which verified that CO2 and H2O existed the synergistic effect of in the distillers′ grain gasification.CO2 was more prone to gasification on the surface of distiller′s grains coke,forming a large number of micropores to increase the specific surface area.Carbon with H2O had stronger permeability to facilitate the formation of mesopores.In H2O/CO2 mixed atmosphere,the interaction between CO2 and H2O made the micropores of distiller′s grains coke to develop into mesopores and macropores and promoted the gasification reaction to the interior of distillers′ grains granule,which triggered the synergistic effect.
