Assessment of product yields and catalyst deactivation in fixed and fluidized bed reactors in the steam reforming of biomass pyrolysis volatiles

[EN] The performance of fixed and fluidized bed reactors in the steam reforming of biomass fast pyrolysis volatiles was compared, with especial attention paying to the differences observed in catalysts deactivation. The experiments were carried out in continuous regime in a bench scale unit provided...

The experiments were carried out in continuous regime in a bench scale unit provided with a conical spouted bed for the pyrolysis step. They were carried out on a Ni-Ca/Al2O3 commercial catalyst and under optimum conditions determined in previous studies, i.e., pyrolysis temperature 500 ºC, reforming temperature 600 ºC and a steam/biomass ratio of 4. Moreover, the influence of space time was analysed in both reforming reactors. The fixed bed reactor showed higher initial conversion and H2 yield, as it allowed attaining a H2 yield higher than 90 % with a space time of 10 gcat min gvol-1. However, a space time of 15 gcat min gvol-1 was required in the fluidized bed to obtain a similar H2 yield. Moreover, the fixed bed also led to lower catalyst deactivation. Catalyst deactivation was mainly related to coke deposition, and higher coke contents were observed in the catalysts used in the fluidized bed reactor (1.2 mgCOKE gcat-1 gbiomass-1) than those in the fixed bed one (0.6 mgCOKE gcat-1 gbiomass-1). Therefore, the differences in the performance of the two reactors were analysed and their practical interest was discussed.This work was carried out with the financial support fromSpain’s ministries of Economy and Competitiveness (CTQ2016-75535-R (AEI/FEDER, UE) and Science, Innovation and Universities (RTI2018-101678-B-I00 (MCIU/AEI/FEDER, UE)), the EuropeanUnion’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme underthe Marie Skłodowska-Curie grant agreement No. 823745, and theBasque Government (IT1218-19 and KK-2020/00107).ElsevierEuropean Commission202120212020info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10810/49923reponame:Addi.
