| Research Abstract |
We aimed to validate the usefulness of solar gasification by beam-down solar concentrating system at Sun-belt using coal, biomass and so on. Stainless steel fluidized bed gasification reactors were made for direct lighting to reactant in lab scale. Coal coke and brown coal were tested as reactants by batch method using xenon arc lamp (radiant flux 3kW). As results, its were effective to increase reaction rate to reinforce insulation of reactor and to argument steam concentration in the case of steam gasification. It was effective to install a draft tube for the purpose of circulating reactant, too. Because it occurs to spread reaction zone. Besides, contrivance to increase fluidity of coke reflected that the light-to fuel energy conversion efficiency recorded up to 13%.
