Abstract

Hydrogen production by biomass supercritical water gasification is about to develop in the future because the process is closed and clean with high gasification efficiency in addition. Low concentration sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) (2-3% mass fraction) can be mixed with particulate biomass and water to form a uniform and stable viscous paste which can be pumped to the continuous high-pressure reactor. In this paper, the supercritical water gasification of CMC was investigated in the tube flow apparatus to produce gas products consisting essentially of H₂, CO, CH₄ and CO₂.
