Green iron and syngas production via continuous solar-driven agricultural waste biomass gasification combined with iron(III) oxide reduction

Résumé

The production of renewable synthetic fuels and chemicals from solar energy and agricultural waste biomass is considered. Solar thermochemical conversion processes offer a promising pathway to a sustainable fuel economy and green chemical industry. This study investigates the continuous solar-driven gasification of agricultural biomass (betel nut waste) combined with iron oxide (Fe2O3) reduction to produce carbon-neutral syngas and green metallic iron in a single process. A thermodynamic analysis of the system was initially conducted to predict the distribution of equilibrium products. Then, on-sun continuous processing was experimentally carried out under different operating conditions, including betel/Fe$_2$O$_3$ molar ratios (0.56-1.5) and temperatures (900-1200°C) to evaluate the process feasibility and reliability. As a result, solar gasification of betel nut waste combined with Fe$_2$O$_3$ reduction performed exceptionally well with continuous reactant particles feeding, demonstrating a feasible pathway for producing green iron and high-quality syngas. The maximum syngas yield reached 63.3 mmol/gdry_betel, approaching its theoretical value, and high-purity Fe was simultaneously produced. The process demonstrated high efficiency, with maximum carbon conversion approaching 98%, energy upgrade factor up to 1.26, and solarto-fuel energy conversion efficiency up to 14.4%, highlighting remarkable conversion performance of biomass and solar energy to chemicals.
