Tar, as a kind of by-product in biomass gasification processes, can adversely affect the efficiency of biomass utilization. Chemical-looping technology has been proposed as a novel way to reduce the tar yield in biomass treatment. As the second part of a two-part series work, the tar evolution chara...
