Description
Summary:This work aims to develop a novel co-generative technology to produce methanol through bio-syngas from waste biomass. To this aim, residual biomasses in southern Italy will be characterized by proximate and ultimate analyses and used as fed in syngas production for methanol synthesis. A non-stoichiometric method based on Gibbs free energy minimization was used to simulate biomass steam gasification and subsequent syngas adjustment through WGS reaction. The processed syngas are fed to a methanol reactor consisting of a membrane for water separation, an electrolyzer splitting the water produced by methanol synthesis, and a heat exchanger for heat recovery integrated into one equipment. By this reactor, methanol production yield is studied for several gasified biomasses.
