INFLUENCE OF TAR EFFLUENT FROM UP-DRAFT GASIFIER ON PHYSICO-CHEMICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF BLACK SOIL

Biomass gasification is gaining popularity as a means of producing biomass energy. Gasification is a viable procedure for obtaining a fuel gas among the several routes of biomass energy conversion. In addition to the primary components CO, H2, CO2, CH4, N2, and water vapour, the producer gas from biomass gasification contains organic impurities (Tar), inorganic impurities, and particle debris. Tar causes fouling and clogging of pipes and equipment, such as gas engines and turbines, due to its condensable properties. Tar must be removed from the producing gas for usage purposes, which reduces efficiency and raises the cost of the process. Tar should be disposed of when it has been removed from producing gas. It may impair the soil quality if disposed of on land.

The physical and chemical properties of soil were investigated in light of the aforementioned fact. 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 the 5% and 10% levels of significance. Although most of the criteria are unimportant, except for water holding capacity, studies show that phosphorus and manganese are strongly affected (at 5 percent & 10 percent level of significance). These characteristics, on the other hand, have a critical influence in crop yield, plant growth, and vegetation. The purpose of this study is to see how Tar effluent affects various soil physico-chemical parameters.
