“…Udomsirichakorn et al [13] observed that the steam gasification of biomass with the presence of CaO resulted in higher hydrogen production (maximum H 2 yield of 451.11 ml/g biomass) and in situ CO 2 capture and tar reduction. Entrained flow gasification of torrefied wood residues was carried out by Weiland et al [14], who showed the molar percentage of H 2 and CO could reach 28.0% and 60.3% within the temperature range of 1483-1523 K. Similar results were also reported by Duman et al [15], who found that steam gasification is one of the promising methods to produce H 2 from safflower seed cake, especially in the presence of CeO 2 -Fe 2 O 3 catalysts, the highest H 2 yield was obtained with 1492 cm 3 /g at 973 K.…”

“…Moreover, other metal catalysts like Co, Fe, Zn, and Cu have also been investigated in steam reforming of tar and showed higher catalytic activity than Ni catalyst in some cases. Although other metal catalysts exhibit a good performance in steam reforming of tar, they are still deactivated easily by sulfur or high heavy tar content [1,[22][23][24].…”

“…In recent years, molybdenum carbide (Mo 2 C) has been reported to have high catalytic activity similar to precious metals in various reactions such as methanol reforming, hydrogenation reactions, water gas shift, and methane reforming [24][25][26][27][28]. Especially, the raw materials for synthesis of Mo 2 C are abundant and inexpensive.…”

Catalytic steam reforming of tar derived from Japanese cedar pyrolysis was investigated over a prepared biomass char supported molybdenum carbide (Mo 2 C/BC) catalyst in a fixed-bed reactor. Mo 2 C/BC was prepared by in-situ solid state reaction, and characterized by XRD and SEM to study the effects of carburization temperature and Mo loading amount on Mo 2 C formation. The results show that Mo 2 C/BC catalyst was successfully prepared at a relatively low carburization temperature of 800 C and the initial Mo loading amount for the preparation of this catalyst should be lower than 30 wt.%. The Mo 2 C/BC showed a good catalytic activity for the steam reforming of tar derived from biomass. In the case of Mo 2 C/BC with a Mo loading of 20 wt.%, the highest H 2 yield was obtained, which is about 5 times higher than that of non-catalytic test. Mo 2 C/BC could be a promising catalyst in steam gasification of biomass to remove tar and produce H 2-rich gas.

Tar is unavoidable by-product during biomass gasification process. Catalytic steam reforming of tar to syngas is a promising way for the removal of tar from the gas products. However, the key issue for this way is catalyst development. To date, the developed catalysts always have advantages and disadvantages: nickel-based catalysts have high activity, but they are easily deactivated by coking; noble metal based catalysts have high catalytic activity, long-term stability and high carbon deposition resistance, but they are expensive; other transition metal catalysts such as Fe, Co and Cu exhibit a good performance, but they are also deactivated easily by carbon deposition in the case of high heavy-tar content in the tar; alkali metal catalysts also have high catalytic activity for tar reforming, but they are easy to be evaporated with the generated gases; natural catalysts have been widely applied for the steam reforming of tar due to its inexpensive, abundant and disposable, but their catalytic activities are lower than those man-made ones, and especially have low mechanical strength, making them not suitable to be used in fluidized bed reactor; zeolite is suggested to be a good catalyst support due to its high thermal/hydrothermal stability, high resistance to sulfur compounds, and easy to be regenerated; biomass char has been used as the catalyst or catalyst support in the steam reforming of tar due to its low cost and its natural production inside the biomass gasifier; even biomass ash now is considered to be a good catalyst for tar removal. In this review, to get better understanding of the mechanism of catalytic steam reforming of tar derived from biomass, tar formation, tar properties and catalytic reaction mechanism are also introduced, and prospects and challenges are summarized.
