A Gasification System for the Disposal of Industrial Waste and Energy Generation: Experimentation and Thermodynamic Analysis

The present paper shows the thermodynamic analysis of a gasification system, which is currently used for the recovery of metals from contaminated substances of organic origin (waste of mechanical process, rolling, cold-drawn, tins, multi-coupled materials, tetra, etc. .), and that, in this paper, is extended to the energy recovery and disposal of Paper Industry Waste. The interest in pyrolysis and gasification is justified because these processes go over the traditional combustion systems of biomass and waste. In this system the inert ambient is supported by the smoke coming from the combustion of natural gas and it is possible to schematize it into a line of heat treatment and in a flue gas cleaning occurring after the combustion. Using the results of different experimental tests a thermodynamic and thermo-chemical analysis is carried out. Starting from the energy and mass balances on the entire system and on the each component, the balance of the gasification reactions is verified.
