15) Define Gasificacion

Solution

Gasification is a process used to convert organic or fossil fuel based carbonaceous materials into carbon monoxide, hydrogen and carbon dioxide and it is achieved by reacting the material at high temperatures of above 700°C without combustion with a controlled amount of oxygen and steam. The resulting gas mixture is called Syngas or synthesis gas or synthetic gas or producer gas which is also a fuel. If the gasified compounds are obtained from biomass, the power generated from gasification and combustion of the resultant gas can be used as a source of renewable energy.
