Microwaving Wastes for Producing Syngas
This paper discloses the research carried out at MCAT (INCAR-CSIC) in the last years, which has been aimed to develop a new microwave induced process (MIP) for the conversion of biosolids into syngas. The different organic substrates that can be processed, the operational conditions that lead to a maximum production of syngas and the characteristics of the syngas as well as the by-products obtained are discussed. Particular emphasis is placed on the partial recycling of the solid fraction and its role as microwave susceptor and as a catalyst of some of the gasification reactions taking place during the MIP of the organic residues. Additionally, some insights on the energy costs of the process are also given.
