A high-efficiency method of tar and dust removal from fuel gas is of great significance to the development of biomass gasification. Streamer corona discharges, which can not only effectively crack the heavy organics to light molecules in raw syngas in reaction with O, H, OH radicals but also charge and separate the dust from the raw syngas with pulsed coronas, is a promising method for raw syngas cleaning. In this paper the status of tar and dust removal by streamer corona discharges were reviewed; issues on mechanism of tar cracking and dust abatement,current situation, key scientific and technical problems of the tar and dust removal from the biomass-derived syngas were analyzed. A conceptual design of an electrocyclone plasma reactor for simultaneous tar and dust removal was proposed. Finally, for the purpose of solving the problems of raw syngas cleaning during biomass gasification, several key research areas were briefly addressed.
Key words： biomass gasification; streamer corona discharges; raw syngas cleaning; tar; dust
