Abstract
In this study, the effect of catalyst preparation and additive precursors on the catalytic decomposition of biomass using palygorskite-supported Fe and Ni catalysts was investigated. The catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). It is concluded that the most active additive precursor was Fe(NO3)3·9H2O. As for the catalyst preparation method, co-precipitation had superiority over incipient wetness impregnation at low Fe loadings.
► We have prepared palygorskite-supported Fe and Ni catalysts. ► Catalytic cracking is used to reduce tar content in biomass gasification gas. ► We studied the effect of additive precursor and catalyst preparation on catalytic decomposition.
