Thermodynamic Model of Prosopis juliflora Gasification

The work proposed is a stoichiometric equilibrium model to predict the yield of syngas and its composition in the gasification of Prosopis Juliflora in a downdraft gasifier. The deep taproots of this plant cause depletion of the water table, and hence, their removal became a necessity. It is used as firewood for household applications and therefore has great potential to be used as biomass. This work aimed to fill the gap in the literature that does not have experimental or modeled values of syngas yield and composition produced by the gasification of this biomass.
