Abstract
Abstract Catalytic performance of Ni/zeolite, Ni-Fe/zeolite, and Ni-Fe-Mg/zeolite catalysts were investigated in steam reforming of toluene as a biomass tar model compound to explore promotional effect of MgO and Fe on Ni/zeolite support. The Ni-Fe-Mg/zeolite catalysts with optimum metallic composition showed higher catalytic performance over corresponding monometallic Ni and Fe catalysts and Ni-Fe/zeolite (bimetallic) catalysts. Addition of Mg to Ni-Fe/zeolite catalyst enhanced the tar reforming reactions and increased the carbon deposition tolerance. The results suggest that Ni-Fe/zeolite and Ni-Fe-Mg/zeolite catalysts have great potential for application in the steam reforming of biomass tar.
