Characterization of coir pith for fluidized bed gasification [PDF]
International Journal of Chemical Studies, 2020 Biomass characteristics are necessary for the proper selection of the gasification system and to design and evaluate the performance of biomass gasifiers. The coir pith is analyzed for its physical properties, chemical composition and kinetic parameters. The mean particle size of coir pith was found to be 0.551 mm.
