Biocarbon is a promising alternative to fossil reductants for decreasing greenhouse gas emissions and increasing sustainability of the metallurgical industry. In comparison to conventional reductants (i.e., coke and coal), biocarbon has low density, poor mechanical strength and high reactivity. Dens...

A zero-dimensional mathematical model for downdraft gasification of biomass in fixed or slowly moving bed gasifiers was developed and implemented in Engineering Equation Solver (EES). The proposed model does not consider the gasification process as a black box, it takes into account the main gasific...
