Abstract
Biomass has became an important renewable alternative energy resource. Mill ion tons of food sludge, which is difficult to handle because of its rank s mell and water content, is generated in Korea. Thermochemical conversion is one way to convert biomass to energy; it can be divided into carbonization , liquefaction, and gasification. Carbonization of food waste was carried o ut in a conventional stainless steel autoclave of 2 L capacity at different temperatures. Since gasification produces hydrogen-rich synthesis gas, whi ch can be used for methanol synthesis, gasification of carbonized solid was studied in the fluidized-bed gasifier. The reaction parameters in the gasi fication of carbonized solids were investigated.
