A new method for suspending a fine, activated carbon catalyst in a biomass feedstock used for a supercritical water gasification (SCWG) continuous reactor is proposed. In a previous study, the organic matter in poultry manure was shown to be completely converted into gases such as H-2, CO2 and CH4 using SCWG. In practice, however, since the feedstock is not only composed of organic matter, but also contains inorganic material, water and catalyst, products such as gas, solid and liquid are produced during SCWG. The aim of this work was to investigate SCWG by-product utilization. This paper describes fundamental studies on the recovery of materials from SCWG products to develop a novel and simple recycling process that utilizes the by-products. A major portion of the activated carbon, monetite and ammonium sulfate can be isolated from the SCWG effluent. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
