Hydrogen production from the aqueous phase derived from fast pyrolysis of biomass

摘要

Hydrogen production from the aqueous phase derived from fast pyrolysis of biomass was carried out by catalytic steam reforming in a fluidized bed reactor. The effects of reaction conditions such as reaction temperature, steam-to-carbon ratio (S/C) and weight hourly space velocity of the aqueous phase (WHSV) on the results of hydrogen yield, potential hydrogen yield and carbon selectivity of product gases were investigated. The effect of reaction temperature on the carbon deposition on catalyst was also studied. The hydrogen yield of 64.6%, potential hydrogen yield of 77.6% and the carbon selectivity for product gases of 84.3% can be obtained at the optimized conditions of reaction temperature 800 C, S/C 10 and WHSV 1.0 h~(-1).
