Published at Chemical Engineering Journal – Overlooked non-homogeneous effects in solar gasification of biomass

Abstract: Biomass gasification driven by solar energy is a potential route for the syngas production as well as storage of unsteady solar energy. However, the influences of the non-homogeneous effects caused by unidirectional concentrated solar radiation on the gasification process were overlooked in existing studies, which in turn led to the inaccuracy of the developed …
