  • the liquidus temperature of the ash can be reduced by incorporating Na 2 O, K 2 O or other low melting point oxides into the initial composition of the treated materials.
  • a modification of the initial composition of the treated materials, thus modifying the composition of ash in the reactor and thus modifying the liquidus temperature of these ashes, by additions of compounds can be preferably carried out when the ash content (i.e. the initial content of inorganic compounds) of the treated materials is low (eg the case of wood).
  • compositions of the ash C1, C2 and C3 are detailed in the table below.
  • the liquidus temperature of the ash from the treated materials is preferably calculated from a thermodynamic calculation software for reasons of cost and speed.
  • a thermodynamic calculation software for reasons of cost and speed.
  • the liquidus temperature of the ashes is determined by means of a modeling software whose models base on experimental data established with ashes of different compositions.
  • a modeling software whose models base on experimental data established with ashes of different compositions.
  • the liquidus temperature can for example be measured by a method of microscopic observations after a quenching of a small amount (for example 40 mg) of ash as a ball initially heated to high temperature in a furnace.
  • the liquidus temperature of the ashes can also be measured in situ by X-ray diffraction at high temperature.
  • the liquidus temperature of the ashes can also be approached by a differential thermal analysis - thermogravimetric analysis (ATD-ATG), a calorimetric method consisting in following the evolution of the temperature difference between the sample studied and a control body. inert.
  • ATTD-ATG differential thermal analysis - thermogravimetric analysis
  • the composition of the ash C2 can also be optimized by reducing the liquidus temperature of these ashes by adding a flux, for example Fe 2 O 3 or MgO (according to the ash compositions, the MgO can have a melting character if it it is added in small quantities).
  • a flux for example Fe 2 O 3 or MgO (according to the ash compositions, the MgO can have a melting character if it it is added in small quantities).
  • the operating temperature of the reactor can be modified in particular by adjusting the flow rate of oxygen (reactant gas) at the inlet of the high temperature chamber.
  • oxygen reactant gas
  • the gasified material in the heat treatment process described here is pretreated biomass, for example in the form of small particles, of a solid suspension in an organic liquid (or "slurry” in English), of char ( biomass coal) using techniques such as fluidized beds, slow pyrolysis, roasting or grinding.
  • the particle size of the treated materials and the addition of fluxing agents are therefore two parameters which make it possible to optimize the yield the reactor by minimizing the need for oxygen for combustion.
  • the cooling carried out by the cooling circuit 14 makes it possible to form the layer of solid ash of sufficient thickness to thermally protect the wall, and particularly the intermediate layer 16.
  • the characteristic time of setting up the solid ash layer 18 is inversely proportional to the flow rate of the reactor 1. For example, in the case of a reactor of industrial size (that is to say, whose flow is greater than or equal to about 50 tons / hour, the solid ash layer 18 may in about six hours, while for a small reactor (flow rate equal to about 50 kg / h), the solid ash layer will be formed after about 5 days.
