  • Output A few kW for 4 to 8 hours with an air door opening 20 to 30 mm. The burn rate increases near the end of the sawdust charge, as the burning core expands out to reach the inner container walls. Up to 7 kW can be produced, but at this output the case glows red-hot, so inflammables must be kept well away, and the fuel charge does not last long. Figure 2: Removable inner bin with hole through to air chamber below (H Bland) [top] [end]Operation The heater comprises two concentric bins. The removable inner bin has a hole through the bottom to the air chamber below. This allows hot gases to be drawn upwards through the hole to where combustion occurs. The hot gases are then drawn downwards between the inner and outer walls of the heating stove, providing good heat exchange to the room as they pass between the two chambers before passing out of the room through a flue (Figures 1 & 2). [top] [end]Fuel range Sawdust is best. Shavings or chip-pings will work provided they do not collapse down the airway. They work better mixed with sawdust, but have the effect of making it burn faster and hotter.

Preparation of Hydrogen via Catalytic Gasification of Residues from Biomass Hydrolysis ... - 0 views

  •  
    Producing fuel alcohol via hydrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass leaves a considerable amount of residues waiting for treatment. A study was carried out on the preparation of hydrogen via catalytic gasification of residues from biomass hydrolysis with a novel Ni/modified dolomite binary catalyst, which was prepared by a two-step coprecipitation method and proved available for hydrogen production in terms of both activity and strength. The effects of four operation parameters, that is, the fluidized bed temperature, the catalytic fixed bed temperature, the particle size of the catalyst, and S/B (i.e., the mass ratio of steam to biomass material fed into the fluidized bed per unit time), on hydrogen yield were investigated. The results indicate that hydrogen yield increases with an increase in the temperature of either the fluidized bed or the downstream catalytic fixed bed or the S/B ratio or a reduction in the particle size of the catalyst. The optimum range for each of the four operation parameters from a comprehensive consideration is as follows: 800-850 °C for both the fluidized bed temperature and the catalytic fixed bed temperature, 1.5-2 for the S/B ratio, and 2.0-3.0 mm for the particle size of the catalyst. Furthermore, the gas product from catalytic gasification of residues from biomass hydrolysis contains less CO and CO2 and has a higher H2/CO ratio compared with that of the sawdust. The hydrogen yield of the former is also much higher than that of the latter. These suggest that residues from biomass hydrolysis are an even better gasification material than the original sawdust. This paper provides a novel effective method for modifying the calcined dolomite, which endows the catalyst with satisfactory strength while retaining high activity, and opens a new promising way for utilizing the residues from biomass hydrolysis.
