Gasification of the spent chars
Objectives
This work package evaluates the potential benefits of the gasification of the spent char, which was used as a cathode in the water desalination process.
Tasks
In WP3, a series of thermogravimetric measurements is conducted to provide the kinetics of the char gasification reactions.
T 3.1
Thermogravimetric measurements
Fresh char from WP1 and the char after water deionisation tests from WP2 will be subjected to the thermogravimetric analysis. Gasification in CO2 will be carried out under different conditions (e.g. temperature, CO2 partial pressure) to enable the calculations of kinetic parameters.
T 3.2
Calculation of kinetic parameters
Kinetic models will be applied to the data on the mass loss of chars that was registered during task T 3.1. The kinetic parameters and the reactivity of fresh and metal-saturated char will be calculated to determine the effects of the adsorbed ions.
M3
Milestone
The effect of char exploitation on its gasification reactivity is determined.
Work package 3 will start in December 2022
