| Sumario: | Aqueous phase reforming was studied for the valorization to hydrogen of the aqueous fraction of bio-oil from lignocellulosic biomass pyrolysis. Aqueous phase reforming was carried out at 220 °C with a 3 % wt. Pt/carbon catalyst and an aqueous fraction of bio-oil feed containing 1 % wt. of organic matter. Binary and multicomponent mixtures representing aqueous fractions of bio-oil were studied. Strong hydrogen production dependence on aqueous fraction of bio-oil composition was evidenced. Higher processability was obtained for aqueous fractions of bio-oil rich in levoglucosan and hydroxyacetone, reaching a hydrogen production close to 40 mmol per gram of organic carbon, whereas furfural and acetic acid hampered reforming. A significant influence of minority components such as methanol and, particularly, formic acid, was observed. These components improved reforming of the whole multicomponent mixture, showing that blending with biorefinery fractions rich in them can improve the applicability of aqueous phase reforming. The catalyst exhibited stable activity and hydrogen production after 5 reaction cycles and more than 20 h. An increase in selectivity was observed during cycles 2 and 3, which was studied by characterization of fresh and used catalysts to show structure-selectivity relationships. No significant variation of Pt2+/Pt0 and metal particle mean diameter were observed, but Pt nanoparticles underwent morphological changes leading to higher prevalence of low coordination sites, in particular step-edge sites on the particle surface, resulting in higher hydrogen production. Temperature programmed desorption and oxidation analysis showed a cumulative deposition of reaction byproducts on the catalyst surface that contributed to loss of activity |
