Popis: Gasification is a thermochemical process that produces useful and environmentally friendly by-products. Here the effects of various parameters such as equivalence ratio, pressure, and steam gasifying on the gasification process of waste lubricant oil are investigated based on Gibbs free energy minimization approach. The model is validated by reported data and found to be in good agreement. Various gasification performance parameters such as cold gas efficiency, carbon conversion efficiency, gasification temperature, pressure, and heating value of produced gas were determined based on a parametric study. The use of CaO catalyst has also been investigated for the production of hydrogen-rich gas with in situ CO2 capture in steam gasification of waste oil. The results indicate that an appropriate steam/fuel ratio and more catalyst are favorable for getting a higher H2 ratio and a lower CO2 output.
