Experimental study on high temperature catalytic conversion of tars and organic sulfur compounds

A 400 cpsi noble metal catalyst was used to test the conversion of tars and sulfur containing hydrocarbons in the presence of steam, hydrogen sulfide and ethene. In order to reproduce producer gas from biomass gasification, higher molecular hydrocarbons (toluene, naphthalene, phenanthrene, pyrene) a...

Description
Summary:A 400 cpsi noble metal catalyst was used to test the conversion of tars and sulfur containing hydrocarbons in the presence of steam, hydrogen sulfide and ethene. In order to reproduce producer gas from biomass gasification, higher molecular hydrocarbons (toluene, naphthalene, phenanthrene, pyrene) and sulfur containing hydrocarbons (thiophene, benzothiophene, dibenzothiophene) were added to a syngas. The syngas consisted of H sub(2), CH sub(4), H sub(2)O, CO, CO sub(2) and N sub(2). The catalyst was operated at temperatures between 620 degree C and 750 degree C and at gas hourly space velocity (GHSV) of 9000 h super(-1) and 18,000 h super(-1).
