The study aims to compare the effectiveness of dolomite and olivine additives for tar elimination in gasification of polypropylene waste.
Gasification conducted with 100 wt % polypropylene waste
In-gasifier bed additives included dolomite and olivine
Tar content measured and compared with an inert bed.
Tar content reduced by 92% with dolomite compared to inert bed; 40% reduction with olivine.
Dolomite caused plugging in gas cleaning devices, while olivine did not.
100 wt % olivine resulted in a tar content of 2 g/nm3, L.H.V. of 6 MJ/Nm3, and gas yield of 6 Nm3/kgdaf.
