Characterization of char and soot from millimetric wood particles pyrolysis in a drop tube reactor between 800 °C and 1400 °C

​

Highlights

- Char and soot from wood particles pyrolysis in a DTR were characterized.
- Char and soot characteristics change with temperature and residence time.
- Gasification kinetic parameters of char and soot from wood pyrolysis were determined.
- Gasification experiments in TGA were modeled using a semi-empirical approach.
- Conversion times in industrial conditions were estimated by model extrapolation.
