Abstract

Biomass has became an important renewable alternative energy resource. Million tons of food sludge, which is difficult to handle because of its rank smell and water content, is generated in Korea. Thermochemical conversion is one way to convert biomass to energy; it can be divided into carbonization, liquefaction, and gasification. Carbonization of food waste was carried out in a conventional stainless steel autoclave of 2 L capacity at different temperatures. Since gasification produces hydrogen-rich synthesis gas, which can be used for methanol synthesis, gasification of carbonized solid was studied in the fluidized-bed gasifier. The reaction parameters in the gasification of carbonized solids were investigated.
