An Investigation into Syngas Production Enhancement from Municipal Solid Waste Gasification Kelly J. Westby, Eilhann Kwon, and Marco J. Castaldi*Department of Earth & Environmental Engineering [HKSM]Columbia University, New York, NY 10027
Problem: 1.5 billion tons of MSW Solution: MSW gasification Purpose of this Research: Optimize syngas production and char burn out
Main Results Area 1: water volatilization Area2: biomass degradation Area 3: petrochemical degradation Area 4: boudouard reaction (CO2 + C 2CO)
Conclusion CO2 enhances char burnout - cost and environment > solid ash reduction > syngas enhancement > CO2 recycling
