In modeling gasification process, kinetic-based models are predominant but are often complex and lack inherent optimization capabilities. This study couples a kinetic-based model with predictive models, aiming to provide an optimization-embedded and simplified simulation approach. Using Aspen Plus, an integrated model for methanol production via co-gasification of rice husk and plastic was developed. Model prediction and optimization were performed using response surface methodology (RSM) as a statistical approach and artificial neural network-genetic algorithm (ANN-GA) as a machine learning approach. Key input variables, including gasification temperature (GT), steam-to-feed ratio (STF), methanol production temperature (T) and pressure (P), were optimized for both the co-gasification and methanol sections. The integrated co-gasification-methanol model was successfully developed, achieving a root mean square error (RMSE) of 2.31 when validated with experimental data. Predictions using both ANN-GA and RSM methods yielded a coefficient of determination (R<sup>2</sup>) > 0.99, with ANN-GA showing superior prediction accuracy. Statistical analysis of variance (ANOVA) from the RSM results also confirmed the model significance. The optimal methanol yield was 0.6 kg/kg feed under GT = 850 °C, STF = 0.96–1.73, T = 234–255 °C, and P = 114–150 bar. While ANN-GA provided superior optimization across most variables, RSM was more effective for optimizing pressure.

Then the pyrolysis mechanism, tar generation process and the interactions among components, were thoroughly investigated based on this kinetic model.

The average activation energies of the two pyrolysis stages are 70.49 and 120.62 kJ/mol, which demonstrated that the two-stage reaction follows different types of reactions.

This study focused on nitrogen migration and transformation during the torrefaction and subsequent gasification of fiberboard (FB), a common bioresource sourced from waste furniture, flooring, etc., which is characterized by high nitrogen content. The results indicated that as torrefaction temperatures reached 230 °C, the nitrogen loss rates in FB gradually decreased with further increased temperatures. This trend was primarily attributed the significant nitrogen loss due to the decomposition of urea formaldehyde (UF) before 230 °C. When the temperature rose to higher levels, the pyrolysis of lignocellulose caused the generation of active oxygen-containing groups, facilitating nitrogen re-fixation in chars. Moreover, amide-N in the FB was converted into more stable forms, pyrrole (N-5) and pyridine (N-6), thereby reducing the conversion of nitrogen into volatile compounds. During the gasification process, as torrefaction temperatures increased, the contents of quaternary nitrogen (N-Q) and nitrogen oxide (N-O) increased in the gasification chars from torrefied FB, while the contents of N-5 and N-6 decreased. This study analyzed the nitrogen migration pathways in torrefaction vs. torrefaction-gasification, exploring potential transformation mechanisms such as deamination reactions, Maillard reactions, and ring condensation reactions.
