Enhancing Hydrogen Production from Agricultural Waste and Plastic Through Co-Gasification
Key Ideas
  • Study demonstrates co-gasification of agricultural waste and plastic for efficient hydrogen production.
  • Perovskite oxide-supported Ni catalysts play a crucial role in enhancing H2 generation and selectivity.
  • Optimal gas yield and H2 selectivity achieved with Ca2Fe1.4Ni0.6O5 catalyst at 15 wt%.
  • Results validate the synergy effect, critical role of perovskite catalysts, and potential for waste biomass to be a sustainable hydrogen resource.
The study investigates hydrogen production from agricultural woven bags (AWB) and corncobs (CC) through co-gasification over NiX-Ca2Fe2O5 catalysts. The research aims to optimize hydrogen efficiency and suppress tar formation. Results show synergistic effects at 750°C with a 66% AWB blending ratio, enhancing syngas yield and H2 production. Steam as a gasifying agent promotes tar reforming, leading to high H2 production. The Ni–Fe–Ca/perovskite-type catalyst with 15 wt% nickel doping demonstrates optimal performance, improving H2 production and reducing methane content. This study highlights the potential of waste biomass and plastic co-gasification for sustainable hydrogen production, emphasizing the importance of perovskite catalysts in enhancing hydrogen selectivity and reducing carbon deposition.
