CO2-Assisted Sugar Cane Gasification Using Transition Metal Catalysis: An Impact of Metal Loading on the Catalytic Behavior

To meet the increasing needs of fuels, especially non-fossil production “bio-oil” is proposed and many efforts have been undertaken to find effective ways transform bio-wastes into valuable substances obtain fuels simultaneously reduce carbon wastes, including CO2. This work devoted gasification sugar cane bagasse produce CO in process assisted by The metals were varied (Fe, Co, or Ni), along with their amounts, order optimal catalyst composition. materials investigated scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), transmission (TEM), diffraction (XRD), diffraction, tested CO2-assisted gasification. catalysts based on Co Ni demonstrate best activity among systems: conversion CO2 reached 88% at ~800 °C (vs. 20% for pure sugarcane bagasse). These samples contain metallic Ni, while Fe oxide form.
