Isothermal kinetic study of CO2 gasification of torrefied oil palm biomass

Torrefaction is an attractive pre-treatment route to enhance the fuel properties of oil palm biomass before their utilisation in thermochemical process. This work evaluates the effect of torrefaction on the gasification behaviours and kinetics of three oil palm biomass, i.e., EFB, MF, and PKS. Three well-known kinetics models, i.e., modified volume reaction model (MVRM), random pore model (RPM), and modified random pore model (MRPM) were used to...
