Optimization and modeling of process parameters during hydrothermal gasification of biomass model compounds to generate hydrogen-rich gas products

Hydrothermal gasification in subcritical and supercritical water is gaining attention as an attractive option to produce hydrogen from lignocellulosic biomass. However, for process optimization, it is important to understand the fundamental phenomenon involved in hydrothermal gasification of synthetic biomass or biomass model compounds, namely cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin. In this study, the response surface methodology using the...
