O-15　Influence of Ca/P ratio on catalytic activity for biomass tar decomposition of Ni-loaded hydroxyapatite catalysts

Abstract

The development of catalysts for the decomposition of biomass tar is one of the major challenges for the low-temperature gasification of biomass. Previous studies revealed that the Ni-loaded HAP with higher Ca/P showed higher catalytic activity to decompose biomass tar. In this study, we investigated the effects of Ca/P in HAP on the catalytic activity and Ni dispersibility of Ni/HAP catalysts. The results indicate that the HAP with higher Ca/P leads to higher Ni dispersibility and higher catalytic activity of Ni/HAP catalyst.
