Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of chemical production, specifically relating to a biomass fluidized bed partial gasification and co-production of biochar synthesis gas and tar device. Background Technology

[0002] Biomass gasification technology based on agricultural and forestry waste is a mature and widely applied high-efficiency resource utilization technology. Conceptually, it is a thermochemical process that converts agricultural and forestry waste biomass into valuable syngas, tar, and biochar under high-temperature (>500℃) and oxygen-deficient conditions. Depending on the gasification device, biomass gasification technology based on agricultural and forestry waste can be divided into fixed-bed gasification, fluidized-bed gasification, and entrained gasification. Among these, fluidized-bed gasification is a highly flexible method for utilizing agricultural and forestry waste biomass. Due to its wide fuel adaptability and suitability for large-scale application, it is receiving increasing attention. Currently, converting agricultural and forestry waste biomass into high-quality syngas through fluidized-bed gasification for the production of chemicals originally derived from fossil fuels is an important development direction for expanding the utilization of agricultural and forestry waste biomass resources.

[0003] However, traditional fluidized bed gasification of agricultural and forestry waste-based biomass aims to convert as much low-quality agricultural and forestry waste-based biomass as possible into valuable syngas, pursuing high conversion rates and efficiency, while paying little attention to the biochar byproduct of the gasification process. In recent years, biochar has been widely used as an adsorbent, gasification feedstock, and catalyst, and has been applied in electrochemistry and soil improvement, enabling its value-added utilization. Furthermore, agricultural and forestry waste-based biomass gasification technology achieves high tar yields even at relatively low gasification operating temperatures. Therefore, removing tar from the syngas as a product output, or decomposing the tar contained in the gasified syngas into syngas components such as CO, H2, and CH4 at high temperatures, is a way to improve the safety and economy of agricultural and forestry waste-based biomass gasification technology. This method can eliminate the adverse effects of tar on subsequent syngas utilization and also generate revenue. Summary of the Invention
