H2 production by sorption enhanced steam reforming of biomass-derived bio-oil in a fluidized bed reactor: An assessment of the effect of operation variables using response surface methodology
High-purity H2 was produced by the sorption enhanced steam reforming (SESR) of acetic acid, a model compound of bio-oil obtained from the fast pyrolysis of biomass, in a fluidized bed reactor. A Pd/Ni–Co hydrotalcite-like material (HT) and dolomite were used as reforming catalyst and CO2 sorbent, re...
