ABSTRACT:
Disclosed herein is an apparatus and methods for decontaminating syngas generated in a fluidized-bed gasifier wherein metal contaminants, inter alia, alkali metals, halogens, particulates, and transition metals and sulfur containing contaminants are removed prior to the catalytic thermal cracking of tar and ammonia. Further disclosed is an apparatus and methods for removing ammonia from syngas.
