Abstract

Steam reforming (SR) of bio-oil with blast furnace (BF) slag was investigated via thermodynamic analysis in this paper. As the temperature and S/C ratio (the mole ratio of steam to carbon in the bio-oil) rose, the hydrogen yield first increased rapidly and then flattened out, and under the temperature of 700°C and S/C of 6:1, the hydrogen yield can reach 86%. Under the above conditions, the slag and its amount hardly have any effect on the products of bio-oil SR, but it can provide the heat that the strongly endothermic SR process need. To ensure the SR reaction under the above condition, the B/S ratio (the mass ratio of bio-oil to BF slag) should be controlled at 1:5.27.
