Co-gasification of Sorghum Hydrolysis Waste and Çan Lignite

In this study, it was aimed to efficiently utilize the solid waste of sorghum biomass remained after a hydrolysis process, by co-gasification with Çan lignite for high yield hydrogen production. For this purpose, steam co-gasification of the waste obtained after hydrolysis process of sorghum was with Çan lignite at a water flow rate of 0.5 mL min-1 and temperature of 900 °C was performed. The gasification yields were evaluated in terms of total gas volumes and the product distributions. The results were compared with those of individual gasifications of Çan lignite and hydrolysis waste, and co-gasification was observed to have synergetic effects leading to an increase in both the produced total gas volume and the hydrogen volume.
