Catalytic gasification of wood biomass in subcritical and supercritical water
Research in biomass gasification with subcritical and supercritical water is reviewed. Catalytic conversion of biomass in sub- and supercritical water is a low-temperature gasification technique that can be carried out from 473 to 973 K. Research is categorized according to temperature and water density, since reaction mechanisms greatly depend on these variables.
