Abstract
An apparatus includes at least one container with at least one carbonaceous material inlet, at an upper end of the container, for providing carbonaceous material into an internal chamber of the container; at least one first carbonaceous material outlet, at a lower end of the container, for removing carbonaceous material from the internal chamber; and at least one gas outlet for removing gas from the internal chamber. The internal chamber includes a first carbonaceous material communication pathway between the carbonaceous material inlet and the first carbonaceous material outlet, and carbonaceous material which travels along the first carbonaceous material communication pathway in use at least passes consecutively through a first reduction zone, a first oxidation zone, and a second reduction zone.
Claims25
Apparatus for gasifying at least one carbonaceous material, comprising:
- at least one container comprising:
- at least one carbonaceous material inlet, at an upper end of the container, for providing carbonaceous material into an internal chamber of the container;
- at least one first carbonaceous material outlet, at a lower end of the container, for removing carbonaceous material from the internal chamber;
- and
- at least one gas outlet for removing gas from the internal chamber;
- wherein the internal chamber comprises a first carbonaceous material communication pathway between the carbonaceous material inlet and the first carbonaceous material outlet, and wherein carbonaceous material which travels along the first carbonaceous material communication pathway in use at least passes consecutively through a first reduction zone, a first oxidation zone, and a second reduction zone.
The apparatus as claimed in claim wherein carbonaceous material which travels along the first carbonaceous material communication pathway in use passes consecutively through a drying zone, a pyrolysis zone, the first reduction zone, the first oxidation zone, the second reduction zone, and the second oxidation zone.

A method for gasifying at least one carbonaceous material, comprising the steps of:
- providing carbonaceous material into an internal chamber of at least one container via at least one carbonaceous material inlet of the container;
- moving the carbonaceous material along a first carbonaceous material communication pathway between the carbonaceous material inlet and at least one first carbonaceous material outlet, wherein carbonaceous material which travels along the first carbonaceous material communication pathway at least passes consecutively through a first reduction zone, a first oxidation zone, and a second reduction zone;
- gasifying the carbonaceous material in at least the first reduction zone and the second reduction zone;
- and
- removing gas produced in at least the first reduction zone and the second reduction zone from the internal chamber via at least one gas outlet of the container.
