Pyrolytic gasification of Kraft black liquors
Abstract
Black liquors from the Kraft process presently provide the U.S. pulp and paper industry with about 0.675 quadrillion Btu/year of energy, mainly in the form of steam; increased energy extraction efficiency from the black liquors could be attained through application of a catalytic gasification process yielding fuel gas. Experimental trials indicate that hydrogen in concentrations greater than 85% may be obtained in the gas produced from pyrolytic gasification of black liquors to which caustic soda has been added. The black liquors appear to provide a better gasification feedstock than coal for the production of hydrogen.
