Abstract
The experimental results of air gasification of rice husk in the cyclone gasifier were presented at the fuel rate of 20.1 kg/h. With the equivalence ratios varied in the range of 0.21-0.32, the heating value of the producer gas decreases from 6.98 MJ/Nm^(3) to 3.11 MJ/Nm^(3) and the cold gas efficiency decreases from 64% to 31%. However, the tar content in the prouder gas decreases with the increase of the equivalence ratio. The rice husk and ash were examined under a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) elemental analysis. The outer surface of the fuel particle which is of scale structure does not change basically during the gasification. The pyrolyzed gas is mainly released from the inner surface of the fuel particle.
