Drastic changes in biomass char structure and reactivity upon contact with steam

An Australian cane trash biomass was pyrolysed by heating at a slow heating rate to 700–900 °C in an inert gas atmosphere. The chars were then gasified in situ with steam. Our results indicate that the gasification of char with steam, even only for 20 s when the char conversion was minimal, resulted...
