Generation of pure hydrogen and Syngas from resin and biomass by mechanochemical and heating operations

There has been a growing demand for developing processes to generate H₂ and syngas such as H₂-CO-CH₄-other useful gas for energy resources. We have proposed a novel process for generating pure H₂ and syngas from biomass (waste wood, cellulose based materials and resin) through its mechanochemical treatment with additives such as hydrated materials like apatite and Ca(OH)₂, followed by heating at around 400°C. The gasses were characterized by different methods, confirming pure H₂ and other syngas which are useful substances as energy resources. Especially, pure H₂ generated could be enough as an input gas for a fuel cell. This process would be useful for generating such energy gases from waste materials such as wood, resin (including hydrocarbon) and other cellulose based materials.
