Research progress of bimetallic catalysts in catalytic steam reforming of biomass tar
This review assessed the status of bimetallic catalysts in catalytic steam reforming of biomass tar and related model compounds.The types of common bimetallic catalysts and their performance in catalytic reforming of biomass tar were investigated;the factors affecting bimetallic catalyst performance were summarized;the reaction mechanism of catalytic tar reforming was outlined;and the catalyst deactivation and regeneration reaction mechanisms were clarified.The rich active sites and the synergistic interaction between bimetal catalysts promote the improvement of catalyst performance,and the appropriate interaction between bimetal active phase and support enhances the stability of the catalyst.Bimetallic catalysts have potential applications in the steam reforming of tar.At present,the activity and stability of bimetallic catalysts still cannot meet the needs of industrial applications of tar catalytic reforming.In the next step,it is necessary to develop the precise regulation technology of the catalyst and deeply explain its catalytic reaction mechanism,so as to provide technical guidance for the industrial development of tar catalytic steam reforming.
