Abstract
In this study, an attempt has been made to gasify coconut shell in a fluidi zed and a spouted bed reactor. The effects of the gasification temperature on individual gas components, their yields and heating values for both type s of beds have also been studied. The fluidized bed appears slightly superi or to the spouted bed both in respect to heating value and gas yield over t he temperature range studied. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights res erved.
