- Boudouard reaction - balance between the reaction of carbon and its
phases gaseous CO and CO 2 . It is the reaction of Boudouard the limiting step of
the reduction process.
CO 2 + C = 2CO - 172.6 MJ / kmol
- steam reaction
C + H 2 O = CO + H 2 – 131.4 MJ / kmol
- water-shift reaction
CO 2 + H 2 = CO + H 2 O + 41.2 MJ / kmol

C + 2H 2 = CH 4 + 75 MJ / kmol
Main reactions show that heat is required during the reduction process. Thus, the
temperature of the gas goes down during this stage. If complete gasification occurs, all
the carbon is burned or reduced to carbon monoxide, and some other mineral matter
that is vaporized. The remains are ash and some char (unburned carbon). Other
reactions occur during the gasification process, such as: C + CO 2 = 2CO and
CH 4 + H 2 O = CO + 3H 2 .
Gasification process can be classified according to various criteria. The most important
are:
Gasification process:
o
o
Atmospheric;
Pressurized.
Gasifier type:
o
o
Fixed;
Fluidized.
Oxidizing agent:
o
Air;
