Abstract
The tar in biomass producer gas is problematic and needs to be removed before use as fuel. This study investigated tar removal by using Ni/Mg/Y-Zeolite as an upgraded catalysts in a microwave reactor. The wet impregnation method was used to prepare the upgraded catalyst. Catalytic cracking of tar provided the highest about 99% tar removal, with only little carbon deposition on the catalyst. The data gave credible estimates of activation energy, and the fitted kinetic model had SEE=1.5% and R2= 0.95. Moreover, the experimental data satisfied overall mass balance to 96% accuracy.
