Abstract

In this paper, principles of a dry biomass gasification process along with the essential steps along which a gasification process progresses are discussed. It was found that gasification is not a single process via which desired products (syn gas and chemicals, etc.) are obtained. It is a set of consecutive steps (processes) during which several physical and chemical events take place. Such processes include: drying, pyrolysis, combustion and gasification. Gasification reactions are largely dependent on gasification temperature.
