Gasification of empty fruit brunch in micro fixed bed reactor for hydrogen production

Providing energy for future has been a big problem considering the fossil fuel running out and high demand for energy consumption. Biomass considered the most favorable source of energy on the earth which optimize within 10 to 15% of world energy as primary source. The aim of this research is to fin...

description Providing energy for future has been a big problem considering the fossil fuel running out and high demand for energy consumption. Biomass considered the most favorable source of energy on the earth which optimize within 10 to 15% of world energy as primary source.
