Computational fluid dynamics and discrete element simulation of the formation of inorganic syngas contaminants during lignocellulosic biomass gasification

Abstract

We report in this study the development of a computational fluid dynamics and discrete element method (CFD-DEM) model to predict the yield of deleterious nitrogen and sulfur contaminants (NH₃, HCN, H₂S, COS, and SO₂) during biomass gasification.
