A gasification furnace and a combustion furnace are integrated with each
other to form a single fluidized-bed gasification and combustion furnace
in which unburned char generated in the gasification furnace is combusted
in the combustion furnace, and the thus generated heat of combustion is
utilized as a heat source for gasification. The fluidized-bed
gasification and combustion furnace (1) comprises a gasification furnace
(3) and a combustion furnace (4) which are divided by a first partition
wall (2). In the gasification furnace (3), a revolving flow of the
fluidized medium is formed by diffusion devices (32, 33) provided on
furnace bottoms, and an upward flow of the fluidized medium partly flows
in the combustion furnace (4). The combustion furnace (4) is divided into
a main partition wall (5). In the main combustion chamber (6), a
revolving flow of the fluidized medium is formed by diffusion devices
(34, 35) provided on furnace bottoms, and an upward flow of the fluidized
medium partly flows in the heat recovery chamber (7).
