Discussion<br />
The effects of oxygen concentration in the char preparation environment can be<br />
identified by comparing the properties of char #2 (CH 4, fuel-rich) with those of char #1<br />
(CH 4, fuel-lean), and by comparing properties of char #4 (CO, fuel-rich) with those of<br />
char #3 (CO, fuel-lean). Similarly, the effects of steam concentration in the preparation<br />
environment can be identified by comparing the properties of char #3 (CO, fuel-lean) with<br />
those of char #1 (CH 4, fuel-lean) and by comparing the properties of char #4 (CO, fuel-<br />
rich) with those of char #2 (CH 4, fuel-rich). Note that in these four conditions the
