A novel technique for measuring the kinetics of high-temperature gasification of biomass char with steam

- A novel system for measuring high temperature steam-char kinetics was developed.
- The kinetic rate was measured at 1000-1150 °C with various gas compositions.
- The rate as a function of conversion could be described by the random pore model.
- The initial kinetic rate followed a Langmuir-Hinshelwood type relationship.
