| Abstract | In this study, a fixed-bed downdraft gasifier (70 kW$_{e}$–245 kW$_{th}$) with gas cooling and cleaning system, combined with a gas engine, was tested using olive kernel as fuel. The primary scope of this paper is to identify the most prominent utilization paths for the solid residues of the process. After a 3-day experimental work and the respective sampling campaigns, a thorough characterization study was conducted: the mineralogy of collected residues was examined by means of XRD, Loss on Ignition tests were carried out by the use of TGA up to 850 °C, their morphology was examined by means of EDS-SEM, their energetic content and elemental composition were determined by means of proximate and ultimate analysis, respectively, while their major and trace metal characterization was conducted by means of AAS. Due to its high calorific value, relatively low moisture content, and high loss-on-ignition value, it has been concluded that the olive kernel gasification residue can be utilized as a primary fuel in combustion boilers. Moreover, its reduced chlorine and sulfur content suggest minimal corrosion-related problems. Alternative utilization options, based on their morphology, are also suggested in this study, while modifications in the current gasification conditions are proposed as well. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
