The aim of this work is to identify the effect of the CaO phase as a CO2 sorbent and mayenite (Ca12Al14O33) as a stabilizing phase in a bi-functional material for CO2 capture in biomass syngas conditioning and cleaning at high temperature. The effect of different CaO weight contents is studied (0, 56, 85, 100 wt%) in sorbents synthesized by the wet mixing method. These high temperature solid sorbents are upgraded to bi-functional compounds by the addition of 3 or 6 wt% of nickel chosen as the metal active phase. N2 adsorption, X-ray diffraction, scanning electronic microscopy, temperature-programmed reduction analyses and CO2 sorption study were performed to characterize structural, textural, reducibility and sorption properties of bi-functional materials. Finally, sorption-enhanced reforming of toluene (chosen as tar model), of methane then of methane and toluene with bi-functional compounds were performed to study the best material to improve H2 content in a syngas, provided by steam biomass gasification. If the catalytic activity on the sorption enhanced reforming of methane exhibits a fast fall-down after 10–15 min of experimental test, the reforming of toluene reaches a constant conversion of 99.9% by using bi-functional materials.

A comprehensive process model is developed for high temperature air – steam biomass gasification in a downdraft gasifier using the ASPEN PLUS simulator. The simulation results are compared with the experimental data obtained through pilot scale downdraft gasifier. In this study, the model is used to investigate the effects of gasifying agent preheating, equivalence ratio (ER), and steam/biomass (S/B) on producer gas composition, high heating value (HHV), and cold gas efficiency (CGE). Results indicate that H2 and CO contents have increased when gasifying agent preheating is used, while gasifying agent preheating has no effect with H2 and CO at high ER. At high level of S/B, the concentrations of H2 and CO are related with water-gas shift reaction in significant. HHV and CGE depend on the concentrations of H2 and CO in producer gas, which can increase by preheated gasifying agent. However, gasifying agent preheating should apply with waste heat from the process because there is no additional cost of energy price.
