CO2 Char Gasification Rates of Sawdust, Switchgrass, and Corn Stover in a Pressurized Entrained-Flow Reactor Aaron D. Lewis, Emmett G. Fletcher, and Thomas H. Fletcher* Department of Chemical Engineering, Brigham Young University, 350 CB, Provo, Utah 84602, United States ABSTRACT: An entrained-flow flat-flame burner reactor was used to measure apparent CO2 gasification rates of near-spherical biomass chars of poplar sawdust, switchgrass, and corn stover using particle residence times
