Municipal solid waste gasification in semi-industrial conditions using air-CO2 mixtures

Results demonstrate that increasing CO2 content boosts carbon conversion, CO2 conversion, and cold gas efficiency while mitigating tar production. Also, due to the ability to tailor H2/CO ratio, air-CO2 mixtures can be used for catalyst-based Fischer-Tropsch synthesis and particularly for the production of specific chemicals such as urea, methanol and acetic acid.
