H₂ Production from Yellow Poplar Gasification Over Ni/Spent FCC

Ni/spent FCC catalyst was applied as the catalyst on the catalytic pyrolysis and gasification of yellow poplar (YP). Larger amount of gas (CO, CO₂, H₂, C₁~C₄) was produced by applying Ni/spent FCC catalyst to the catalytic pyrolysis and gasification of YP. Ni/spent FCC catalyst also increased the selectivity of phenols and aromatic hydrocarbons in oil product during the pyrolysis and gasification of YP. Overall catalytic performance of Ni/spent FCC catalyst was similar level with that of Ni/γ-Al₂O₃, suggesting its potential use.
