Abstract
Steel slag derivates prepared from waste steel slag using acid leach method, are employed to promote hydrogen production from organic solid waste by in-line pyrolysis-steam reforming of Chinese medicine residues (CMR). The optimum pyrolysis conditions are determined during the fast pyrolysis experiment of CMR (Tprolysis = 800 °C, FN2 = 200 mLSTP/min). During in-line pyrolysis-reforming of CMR with steel slag derivates, for example CaO(SS)-50 wt%LR compounds, as reforming catalyst, the hydrogen yield is profoundly increased from 7.57 mmol/gCMR (pyrolysis operation) to 11.49 mmol/gCMR, while tar yield has been reduced 30.50%. FeOx in LR remarkably increases lattice oxygen and adsorption oxygen in NCA-LR or NCA-LR-CaO(SS) compounds, so tar and CO conversion are efficiently improved while coke deposition on catalyst surface is significantly reduced. LR is demonstrated to be able to act as or partially alternate nickel-based catalyst during steam reforming of pyrolysis gas, which would greatly reduce the cost of hydrogen production from OSWs.
