Pyrolysis and gasification of lignin and effect of alkali addition

Lignin, a byproduct of the chemical pulping can be gasified to produce fuel gas and value-added products. Two lignins, MeadWestvaco (MWV) lignin and Sigma Aldrich (SA) lignin, were studied using two different reactors. A laminar entrained flow reactor (LEFR) was used initially to determine the effec...
