INFLUENCE OF ALKALI HYDROXIDE EFFLUENT GENERATED THROUGH CONDITIONING OF PRODUCER GAS ON BLACK SOIL

H2, CO, CH4, CO2, N2, Tar, SPM, and water vapour, as well as other gaseous pollutants including NH3, H2S, and SO2, are all present in biomass gasification producer gas. The majority of producer gas applications necessitate a low Tar content. As a result, the producing gas must be cleaned before it can be used again. There are several methods for cleaning producing gas, but each has its own set of restrictions. Alkali hydroxide (NaOH) is used to condition production gas since it has an alkaline composition and should offset the acidic nature of the producer gas. Different concentrations of alkali hydroxide were used to condition the producing gas, resulting in effluent. Impurities such as tar, SPM, and other pollutants can be found in this effluent. It's thought that wastewater contains tar and other pollutants, and that dumping it in the soil will deteriorate its quality. For the studies, the physical and chemical properties of soil were taken into account. Color, soil texture, moisture content, bulk density, pore space, water holding capacity, and specific gravity are physical parameters of soil; however, chemical parameters include pH, calcium carbonate, macronutrient (Nitrogen, Phosphorous, Potassium), and essential micronutrient (Nitrogen, Phosphorous, Potassium) and essential micronutrient (Nitrogen, Phosphorous, Potassium) and essential micronutrient (Nitrogen, Phosphorous (Iron, Manganese, Zinc, Copper). The Chi Square test was used to statistically analyse the data at a significance level of 5%. Except for water holding capacity, nitrogen phosphorus, and manganese in soil, most of the characteristics are non-significant (at 5% and 10% level of significance), although these factors have a significant impact on crop production, plant growth, and vegetation.
