The search of sustainable and affordable materials for the cleaning of acid gas in biomass gasification is one of the many challenges for the development of commercial gasification-based waste-to-energy plants. This study presents the potential sorbents identified in the literature. An analysis of these alkaline residues is done inspired by the...

Fluidized bed gasification is a promising technology for the energetic valorization of biomass and wastes. However the presence of heavy tars limits the use of the gas to applications where the gas is not cooled. Several parameters such as the temperature profile inside the gasifier and the gas residence time influence the concentration and...

The thermal conversion of the sewage sludge by pyrolysis, gasification and combustion can be an attractive alternative because it reduces the volume of the residue and improve its properties for safe disposal. However, the high content of some heavy metals in sewage sludge has to be carefully considered to come up with rational and sustainable...
