CATALYST FOR REFORMING TAR USED IN THE STEAM GASIFICATION OF BIOMASS

摘要

The present invention relates to a catalyst including an olivine substrate on which an iron compound layer is deposited, produced by impregnating the olivine substrate with a solution including an iron salt, and then heat-treating same. Said catalyst is useful for steam-reforming tar, in particular in gaseous media from the steam gasification of biomass. Further, the catalyst can be used alone for catalyzing the steam gasification of organic compounds from biomass while limiting the amount of tar produced in the synthesized gases.
