  • The phase change from germ nuclei to growth nuclei and subsequent volume transformation in a crystallization process was modeled by Avrami equations. The phase change during the hydrate formation was fitted with the classical Avrami model by utilizing gas uptake data. The idea is to understand the difference in growth behavior of hydrate crystals when in small pores compared to a stirred tank reactor which does not pose any physical restrictions to hydrate growth. The parameters n and k of the Avrami equation were determined explicitly for CO2 hydrate formation.

    • A new project in Japan is helping scientists make significant progress in studying gas hydrates as a potential source for natural gas production. This research advances understanding of the global distribution of gas hydrates as well as whether and how methane contained in gas hydrates can be used as a viable energy source. The collaboration continues a long-standing relationship between national methane hydrates research programs in Japan and the U.S., but represents the first time that U.S. researchers have been directly involved in studying Japanese gas hydrate samples. In the current phase of this project, an international group of scientists from Japan, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), and Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) are employing cutting-edge technology and studying rare gas hydrate samples recovered deep beneath the seafloor. ……

    • Catalytic filters are a novel technology for tar conversion in biomass gasification processes. Both particle elimination and tar abatement can be achieved in a single step at high temperatures minimizing energy efficiency penalties. This paper analyses the performance of a fixed bed catalytic filter candle in the reduction of biomass tar generated in situ in a dual fluidized bed gasifier (DFBG). In this study, the temperature of the filter was limited to 800 °C. Several variables affecting the performance of the filter were tested. Experiments at different gasification temperatures in the range 750–850 °C were performed so that the amount of tar reaching the catalytic filter was varied. The amount of tar at the catalytic filter inlet did not affect the tar conversion achieved which was around 75%. The major tar compound in the gasification gas at the outlet of the catalytic filter was naphthalene. At the highest temperature tested (850 °C), the tar content in the clean gas was 0.65 g/Nm3. The effect of the face velocity in the filter on the tar conversion reached was evaluated. Tar conversion decreased when the face velocity increased from 40 to 90 m/h as the residence time of the gas in the catalytic filter was lower. The ratio H2O to dry biomass was also varied (0.5–0.9) in order to produce tars of different nature. Higher conversions were achieved for higher values of this ratio.
