A route for turning existing boilers into biomass gasifiers

Ten years of operating the 2–4 MW Chalmers research gasifier and the 20 MW GoBiGas biomethane plant, distilled into a route to commercial use. Two findings carry it: constituents of the biomass ash itself act as a catalyst for the process, and with coated heat exchangers ordinary fluidized-bed boilers can be retrofitted into gasifiers. The paper estimates that Sweden's existing fluidized-bed boilers alone correspond to a jet-fuel capacity of about 10% of current global consumption.

Ilmenite draws potassium into its core

Up to 40 wt% of the sand in Chalmers' 12 MW boiler was replaced by the natural ore ilmenite. Iron moved to the particle surfaces, titanium concentrated in the core, the ash formed a calcium-rich double layer, and potassium diffused into the core to form KTi₈O₁₆. Locking potassium inside the particle could reduce both bed agglomeration and corrosion.

How biomass ash migrates into, and grows on, an oxygen carrier

Ilmenite samples taken from the 12 MW boiler after 5 to more than 300 hours of oxygen-carrier-aided combustion show potassium migrating into the particle core over time, and a calcium layer forming at longer times while calcium also moves inward. Combined with thermodynamic calculations, the paper proposes a mechanism for the ash–bed material interaction.

What platinum does at the NiAl–oxide interface

A study of how platinum influences the interface between NiAl and its oxide during high-temperature oxidation of bulk material, part of the work on Pt-modified aluminide coatings.

Carbons from pine wood that capture CO₂

Pine wood activated at 800 °C with KOH, K₂C₂O₄ or mixtures of the two. Co-activation gave a surface area of 2029 m²/g; the KOH carbon reached the highest CO₂ uptake (9.65 mmol/g at 0 °C), while the K₂C₂O₄ carbon gave the best CO₂/N₂ selectivity. Molecular simulations link the performance to sub-nanometre pores and carbonyl-rich surfaces.
