The performance of Fe/olivine catalysts was tested in the continuous steam gasification sawdust a bench scale plant provided with fountain confined conical spouted bed reactor at 850 °C. Olivine used as catalyst support and loaded 5 wt%Fe. activity stability monitored by nitrogen adsorption-desorption, X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy, temperature programmed reduction, diffraction photoelectron ...

Effective gas dispersion and liquid mixing are significant parameters in the design of an inert-particle spouted-bed reactor (IPSBR) system. Solid particles can be used to ensure good efficient rate mass heat transfer between liquid. In this study, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) coupled with discrete phase model (DPM) were developed investigate effect feed velocity (0.5–1.5 m/s), orifice di...
