Abstract: | The objective of this paper was to design sustainable nickel catalysts supported on selected fly ash based zeolites to thermal processing of lignocellulosic feedstock towards hydrogen-rich gas. Moreover, in order to increase its catalytic performance in the studied process the catalyst supported on the most promising fly ash based zeolite was modified by selected rare-earth and transition metals (La, Pr, Ce, Y, Gd, Zr). The performed measurements exhibited that incorporation of nickel into the structure of zeolite A modified by lanthanum resulted in the most effective production of H2. The characterization of its physicochemical properties (XRD, TPR, SEM-EDS, TPD-NH3, BET and TGA-DTA) suggested that large pore size, moderate acidity, increased reducibility of an active phase and higher resistance to coke formation are the main factors responsible for increased activity of this catalyst. |
