Simulation and modeling of hydrogen production from glucose biomass model compound via hydro-thermal gasification

Glucose is a 6-carbon carbohydrate compound present in plants and the ingredient for hemicellulose which makes up 30% of plants’ total mass. The current study uses glu-cose as reactant and evaluates hydrogen generation at different temperatures and different amounts of input flow of glucose – water mixture. Hydrothermal gasifica-tion method is used for hydrogen generation in an open system with controlled volume with temperature chang-ing in the range of 375 to 1000ºC, water intake flow of 800 kg/h and biomass intake flow of 2000 kg/h.
