Synthesis gas production from catalytic gasification of waste biomass using nickel-loaded brown coal char

- Nickel particles disperse well in Ni/BCC by ion-exchange method.
- It is found as an excellent catalyst for biomass gasification at low temperature.
- It shows the resistance of carbon deposition, protecting the catalyst deactivation.
- Nickel particle growth is strongly influenced by the pyrolysis temperature.
- Lower steam ratio is suggested for limited char gasification and stable activity.
