Abstract
The growth of industrialization and increasing energy demands worldwide necessitate the use of environmentally friendly alternatives to fossil fuels. Biomass and municipal waste are very rich feedstocks but due to their native moisture content, heterogeneity and low energy content their direct utilization is constrained. Thermochemical conversion of waste in molten-salt offers a promising perspective for transforming biomass and waste into fuels, hydrogen, chemicals and carbon materials utilizing the two distinct properties of high thermal capacity and catalytic ion chemistry. This review discusses recent advances in molten-salt assisted pyrolysis, gasification and oxidation where salt systems (carbonates, chlorides, nitrates, fluorides and eutectics) are compared in terms of their selectivity and operating conditions. The designs of reactors examined with reference to temperature, residence time, and heat/mass transfer behavior. Carbonate salts have been shown to promote deoxygenation and hydrogen production, chloride salts favor cracking and light olefins, fluoride salts have the potential to reduce tar and soot, nitrate salts are capable of promoting partial oxidation and present NOx, and lithium-based compositions promote the graphitization of carbon remains. Among the technical challenges, one may single out corrosion, salt contamination, regeneration, impurity trapping and emissions are important. This review identifies knowledge gaps, including limited pilot-scale demonstrations, salt recovery and recycling, and corrosion of reactor materials. Overall, molten-salt thermochemical approaches have significant potential for sustainable waste valorization provided that engineering and environmental limitations are successfully addressed.
