Abstract

The gasification of MSW (municipal solid wastes) using CO2 as a gasifying agent has been object of growing interest in recent years. Although quite limited, studies have shown that CO2 can behave as a catalyst and accelerate the thermal cracking of volatiles as well as minimize tar formation, and even give a positive contribute to environment. Despite these promising features, it is still necessary to develop mathematical models able to assist the advance of this technology.
