Summary
Gasification of biomass - Syngas production and valorization I - Biomass gasification - Theory of gasification Types of gasifies, zones in gasification, chemistry of gasification, properties of producer gas - Characteristics of biomass for gasification Energy content and density, moisture content, dust and tar content - Gasification systems Fixed bed gasifiers, fluidized bed gasifiers, entrained flow gasifiers, plasma gasifiers II - Biosyngas upgrading - Biosyngas composition - Dependence from feedstock composition - Dependence from production process III - Biosyngas transformation - Methane production - Liquid fuel production from bio-syngas: methanol and Fischer-Tropsch synthesis IV - Examples of biomass gasification ongoing technologies (Rentech, Gussing gasifier, EON-SNG, UCG process etc… )
Educational goals
- To explore the feasibility of thermal pretreatment of biomass - To obtain a knowledge of the large diversity of biomass sizes, shapes, compositions, and other parameters - To identify the effect of each pretreatment on the cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin - To obtain a knowledge of the chain of biomass valorization
Sustainable development goals

Pedagogy
Gasification of biomass - Syngas production and valorization: 10h Lecture / Seminar Knowledge - Basic knowledge in heterogeneous catalysis. - Basic knowledge of the biomass obtained in the "biomass" module in the first year. - Bases in inorganic chemistry, materials chemistry and physical chemistry acquired in license - Good level of English Competences After the UE, the student is sensed to have knowledge about: - pretreatments applied to the cellulosic biomass to its transformation - pretreatments applied to biomass lignin for its transformation - the different methods of fractionation of algae - gasification of biomass to form synthesis gas and the value of the latter (methanation) - transformation of waste into biogas
