USE OF A CATALYST BASED ON NOBLE METAL FOR REDUCING THE TAR CONTENT IN GASES RESULTING FROM GASIFICATION PROCESSES

摘要

The invention relates to a method for reducing the tar content in gases resulting from a thermochemical gasification process of carbon-containing starting material, comprising the contacting of at least a part of the gas obtained from the gasification process with a catalyst containing noble metal. The catalyst containing noble metal comprises at least two noble metals selected from the group consisting of Pt, Pd, Rh, Ir, Os, Ru and Re.
