Summary: This study aims to investigate the impact of hydrogen on other producer gas compounds during microwave plasma valorization. The results show that the addition of hydrogen improves the conversion of methane and toluene, and changes the distribution of the products. The presence of hydrogen inhibits the conversion of H2S, but does not affect CO and NH3.

Summary: Solid wastes are considered a viable renewable energy source that can be converted into valuable materials and energy through co-gasification. Co-gasification allows for customization of the product gas composition by adjusting the feedstock and mixing ratios. This review discusses the effects of co-gasifying solid waste and their mixtures on energy and material recovery, emphasizing its importance in energy efficiency and technical feasibility.

Summary: The co-gasification of RDF and biomass is an efficient technology for MSW utilization, with higher temperature and ER values promoting syngas yield. Co-gasification demonstrated synergistic enhancements in carbon conversion efficiency, gas yield, and cold gas efficiency. Positive synergy effects were observed at lower ER and higher temperatures, while negative synergy effects tended to appear at higher ER values.

Summary: In this experimental study, waste glycerol from industrial bio-diesel production was converted to syngas using water vapor DC thermal arc plasma. Pure water vapor was used as a gasifying agent to avoid unwanted byproducts and obtain higher concentrations of hydrogen and carbon monoxide. The study found that the highest process efficiency and lower specific energy requirement were achieved at the H2O/C3H8O3 ratio of 1.9.

Summary: The growth of urban economy leads to increased waste generation, causing significant impacts on health, environment, and economy. The lack of compatible waste collection and disposal systems in Brazil resulted in large quantities of uncollected waste ending up in landfills with little energy utilization. This study aims to analyze the current conditions and challenges of utilizing biomass energy from urban solid waste to establish mini thermal plants connected to distributed generation, with the goal of reducing GHG emissions and improving waste management.

Summary: The effects of gasifier conditions on the gasification characteristics of different types of coal were evaluated, showing higher syngas yields and selectivity under microwave heating compared to conventional heating. Carbon conversion efficiency and cold gas efficiency were found to be highest for coals gasified under microwave irradiation, indicating a dependence of gasification reactivity on coal type.

Summary: This study investigated the use of olive mill solid waste (OMSW) as a fuel in a pilot-scale downdraft gasifier. After pelletization and characterization, gasification experiments were conducted with air as the gasifying agent. The performance of the gasifier was evaluated through the analysis of syngas composition, solid residues, and energy balances. The results showed that OMSW has substantial energy potential and could help reduce reliance on fossil fuels, but there were concerns regarding ash melting point, tar content in syngas, and NOx emissions.

Summary: This study numerically investigated the steam gasification of hydrochar derived from fruit wastes using Aspen Plus. The results showed that hydrothermal carbonization increased the CO content and decreased the CO2 content of the syngas, while HHV increased with pressure. Temperature had an impact on the composition of the syngas.

Summary: The gasification process can treat and convert municipal solid waste (MSW) into bioenergy in an environmentally and economically friendly way. However, researchers often lack the resources and time for experiments. Machine learning technology can help by analyzing published data and constructing a predictive model. This study aims to establish a comprehensive ML model to predict and understand the MSW gasification process.

Summary: The increase in population has led to a rise in municipal solid waste (MSW) generation worldwide. This study analyzes the physical and gasification characteristics of MSW from the Dandora dumpsite in Nairobi, Kenya. The results show that the organic waste content is 64.2% and the inorganic waste content is 35.8%. A gasification system is designed and evaluated using advanced simulation and analysis tools. The findings indicate that the system has good techno-economic feasibility and is more carbon neutral compared to the Kenyan grid.

Summary: In this study, the steam gasification performance of raw and torrefied mixed food wastes was investigated. Results showed that when cabbage was co-gasified with rice or pork, there was a synergistic promotion of H-2 and CO2 production. However, the interaction between pork and rice led to an inhibition effect on gas formation. Torrefaction pretreatment enhanced the synergistic promotions of H-2, CO2, and CO production for mixtures containing cabbage, and alleviated the inhibitory effect for mixtures of pork and rice. Overall, co-gasification of food waste with high AAEM content with another typical food waste and torrefaction pretreatment were found to improve gasification efficiency.
