A series of Cu-based catalysts promoted with Fe, Ce and Al supported on cellulose derived carbon (CDC) was prepared by biomorphic mineralization technique for the RWGS reaction. The excellent Cu dispersions (7 nm at ca. 30 wt% Cu) along with the resilience toward metal sintering attained in the entire catalysts series highlight one-pot decomposition of cellulose under reducing atmosphere as an excellent synthesis method which enable obtaining well-dispersed Cu nanoparticles. The influence of incorporating a second metal oxide over biomorphic mineralized Cu systems was also investigated. With the Cu-Ce system exhibiting the best catalyst performance of the catalysts’ series, the enhanced catalyst performances were majorly ascribed to the catalysts redox properties. The lineal relationships stablished between oxygen exchange capacity and CO2 conversion rates remarks the employed sequential H2/CO2 cycles as an effective methodology for screening the catalytic performance of Cu catalysts for RWGS reaction.
Catalytic Fast Pyrolysis of Lignocellulosic Biomass: Recent Advances and Comprehensive Overview
(2024)
Using biomass as a renewable resource to produce biofuels and high-value chemicals through fast pyrolysis offers significant application value and wide market possibilities, especially in light of the current energy and environmental constraints. Bio-oil from fast-pyrolysis has various conveniences over raw biomass, including simpler transportation and storage and a higher energy density. The catalytic fast pyrolysis (CFP) is a complex technology which is affected by several parameters, mainly the biomass type, composition, and the interaction between components, process operation, catalysts, reactor types, and production scale or pre-treatment techniques. Nevertheless, due to its complicated makeup, high water and oxygen presence, low heating value, unstable nature, elevated viscosity, corrosiveness, and insolubility within conventional fuels, crude bio-oil has drawbacks. In this context, catalysts are added to reactor to decrease activation energy, substitute the output composition, and create valuable compounds and higher-grade fuels. The study aim is to explore the suitability of lignocellulosic biomasses as an alternative feedstock in CFP for the optimization of bio-oil production. Furthermore, we provide an up-to-date review of the challenges in bio-oil production from CFP, including the factors and parameters that affect its production and the effect of used catalysis on its quality and yield. In addition, this work describes the advanced upgrading methods and applications used for products from CFP, the modeling and simulation of the CFP process, and the application of life cycle assessment. The complicated fluid dynamics and heat transfer mechanisms that take place during the pyrolysis process have been better understood due to the use of CFD modeling in studies on biomass fast pyrolysis. Zeolites have been reported for their superior performance in bio-oil upgrading. Indeed, Zeolites as catalyses have demonstrated significant catalytic effects in boosting dehydration and cracking process, resulting in the production of final liquid products with elevated H/C ratios and small C/O ratios. Combining ex-situ and in-situ catalytic pyrolysis can leverage the benefits of both approaches. Recent studies recommend more and more the development of pyrolysis-based bio-refinery processes where these approaches are combined in an optimal way, considering sustainable and circular approaches.
Among challenges implicit in the transition to the post–fossil fuel energetic model, the finite amount of resources available for the technological implementation of CO2 revalorizing processes arises as a central issue. The development of fully renewable catalytic systems with easier metal recovery strategies would promote the viability and sustainability of synthetic natural gas production circular routes. Taking Ni and NiFe catalysts supported over γ-Al2O3 oxide as reference materials, this work evaluates the potentiality of Ni and NiFe supported biochar catalysts for CO2 methanation. The development of competitive biochar catalysts was found dependent on the creation of basic sites on the catalyst surface. Displaying lower Turn Over Frequencies than Ni/Al catalyst, the absence of basic sites achieved over Ni/C catalyst was related to the depleted catalyst performances. For NiFe catalysts, analogous Ni5Fe1 alloys were constituted over both alumina and biochar supports. The highest specific activity of the catalyst series, exhibited by the NiFe/C catalyst, was related to the development of surface basic sites along with weaker NiFe–C interactions, which resulted in increased Ni0:NiO surface populations under reaction conditions. In summary, the present work establishes biochar supports as a competitive material to consider within the future low-carbon energetic panorama.
Mithilfe einer templatgestützten Synthese wurden poröse Kohlenstoffgerüste unter Verwendung von Silicagel als Templat hergestellt. Die chemische Gasphaseninfiltration (CVI) wurde hierbei als Synthese verwendet. Unter Variation verschiedener Reaktionsparameter zur Optimierung der Kohlenstoffabscheidung wurde dieser Prozess mathematisch modelliert and simuliert. Dabei konnten die experimentellen Ergebnisse gut mit den Modellen nachgebildet werden. Die zusätzliche Beschreibung der laminaren Strömung verbessert die Übereinstimmung deutlich.
