Gaseificação de resíduos agroindustriais para geração de gás de síntese e aumento do poder calorifico em função da glicerina

Abstract

With the increase in population and the expansion of agroindustries in the country, there is a significant increase of waste in all forms, both liquid, solid and gaseous, among them is glycerin, a byproduct of renewable energy sources. A survey of some sources of biomass generation and use of ligno-cellulosic material, together with by-product (glycerine) from the biodiesel industry to generate synthesis gas. In this work two types of residues / co-products (Glycerin and wood chip) with different concentrations of glycerin by volume were used to produce synthesis gas through the gasification technique. The results obtained in this work showed that there is an increase in the amount of H2 (hydrogen gas) in the gasification of the mixture between glycerin and wood chip, with a higher conversion rate of H2 with a mixture of 10% by weight of glycerol. The different techniques used for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of the synthesis gas showed the presence of gases H2 (hydrogen gas), CH4 (methane gas), CO2 (carbon dioxide), CO (carbon monoxide), N2 (nitrogen gas) and NH3 (Ammonia) in the samples.
