Abstract
Green hydrogen production through gasification is a prospective utilization of biomass. Operational issues (slagging, corrosion and catalyst poisoning) due to inherent alkali metal deposition are main factors affecting gasification. The adoption of Si-Al-based additives as alkali metal inhibitors is a promising approach. In this work, the influence of additive types and placement methods on K deposition and gasification characteristics were studied through a decoupled gasification with online analysis. As a result, separative placement (Sep) method could reduce K deposition without decreasing hydrogen yield compared to mechanical mixture (Mix) method. This advantage is particularly prominent in char gasification. SiO2 is recommended to be added by the Mix to react with alkali and alkaline earth metal species individually to inhibit K release. This match could reduce peak of K deposition content by 55.80 % with less impact on hydrogen yield. Meanwhile, Al2O3 is recommended to be added by the Sep due to its unique comprehensive performance, which could increase hydrogen yield by 4.34 % and reduce peak of K deposition content by 52.72 %. Two recommended addition strategies could be used in different scenarios. This study is expected to guide the design of corrosion-resistant reactors and multifunctional catalysts.
