Steam reforming of apricot stone pyrolysis tar for hydrogen-rich gas production is carried out over Ni-Fe/attapulgite catalysts prepared with co-precipitation method. The effects of calcination temperature
steam/carbon molar ratio
and reaction temperature on the catalytic activity of catalyst are investigated. The catalyst is characterized by SEM
BET
and XRD techniques. Three other catalysts(silicon sand
natural dolomite and Ni-based catalysts Z409)are also tested for comparison. It is shown that the Ni-Fe/attapulgite catalyst is endowed with excellent low temperature activity and anticoke ability. A 92.1% C-conv. can be obtained at 500℃
tar liquid space velocity of 0.62 h
-1
steam/carbon molar ratios of 4.3. No obvious deactivation of the catalyst is observ
ed during 5 h sequential test. Under the same conditions
the catalytic activity of the Z409 catalyst decreases significantly after 90 min reaction.
