1. Introduction Crop diseases caused by pathogenic fungus have seriously restricted healthy development of agriculture in the world. Fusarium head blight of wheat, take-all disease, and plant anthracnose caused by Fusarium graminearum, Gaeumannomyces graminis, and Glomerella cingulata, respectively, lead to huge economic losses in agriculture every year [1,2,3,4,5].

Biomass gasification is increasingly attracting interest in the research of biorenewable energy all over the world, as a carbon-neutral supplement to the conventional fossil energy. It can convert biomass to the burnable producer gas for heat and power production or synthesis of fuels and chemicals. However, its commercial applications are seriously interfered by the minor but unavoidable contaminants or impurities in the raw product gas, which cause severe problems in the downstream equipment.
