ABSTRACT
The utilization of biomass char was hindered by the low gasification activity due to thick ring structures and unclear gasification mechanism. Herein, the mechanism was elucidated by experimental and DFT to improve the activity. The results demonstrated that temperature increased the gasification activity but did not changed the order of gasification activity of samples. Pressure dominated the position of the highest point of instantaneous CH4 yield, and high pressure enhanced carbon conversion by 81.72 % and 7.32 times. Moreover, KNi exhibited an uppermost catalytic activity with the instantaneous CH4 yield 1.89 times higher than that of raw char at 750 °C. The formation of the CxNi structure lowered the activation barrier for the ring opening reaction. Possible transformation pathways of Ni species were as follows Ni(NO3)2·6H2O â NiO â Ni. KNi changed the reaction pathways and the most energy-consuming step. The study could shed light on the hydrogasification reaction mechanism.
