Catalytic Supercritical Water Gasification of Soybean Straw: Effects of Catalyst Supports and Promoters

Jude A. Okolie et al.

Summary: During supercritical water gasification, ZrO2 was found to be the most effective catalyst in improving H-2 yield and selectivity. Cerium as a promoter showed the best performance in promoting H-2 yield for Ni/ZrO2 catalysts. The addition of K, Na, and Ce promoters enhanced Ni dispersion and metallic surface area, leading to improved H-2 yields.
