Beschreibung

In view of the climate-related resource and energy transition and the high dependence on imports of
fossil raw materials, the development of new raw materials, such as biogenic or plastic residues, is of
utmost importance. In context of the chemical industry closing the carbon cycle is one key to a sustainable
future. One promising option is entrained-flow gasification for the conversion of pre-treated residues
into high-quality synthesis gas (H2 & CO), which can then be converted into electricity in IGCC power
plants, for example, or can be used in catalytic syntheses into basic chemicals like methanol.
As the first step of the gasification process, the devolatilization plays a decisive role for the conversion
behaviour of the fuel in the gasification reactor. For this reason, the devolatilization is investigated at the
Chair of Energy Systems separately from the gasification reaction in a wire-mesh reactor. Thus, various
influences such as the influence of temperature, pressure or heating rate can be determined experimentally.
The aim of this work is the experimental investigation of the influence of temperature, pressure and
residence time on devolatilization from pre-treated waste.The results are to be compared with the literature
and classified in the thesis.
