Steam Reforming of Model compounds of Pyrolysis Liquids Using P containing Activated Carbon as Ni Catalyst Suppor

Abstract

Chemical activation with H3PO4 of lignocellulosic waste generated surface phosphorus functionalities with acid character (Rosas et al., 2009). These P groups also governed the carbon reactivity with oxygen, conferring strong oxidation resistance to ACs (Rosas et al., 2012; Valero-Romero et al., 2017). In this work, the effect of P surface groups on the activity and stability of Ni-AC catalysts for steam reforming of model compounds of pyrolysis liquids was studied.
