Catalytic gasification, coupled with in-situ CO 2 capture over Ni-CaO catalyst, is considered to be an effective approach for H 2 -rich and tar-free syngas production. However, the poor stability of Ni-CaO based catalyst raises a question regarding its large scale application. In this study, HfO 2 was used as a stabilizer and promoter for the Ni-CaO catalyst system. The stability of catalyst was evaluated through cyclic carbonation-calcination test with a thermogravimetric analyzer. The results showed that HfO 2 incorporated catalysts performed better stability towards cyclic CO 2 capture. The effect of different HfO 2 additions in catalyst, catalyst to municipal solid waste (C/MSW) ratio, gasification temperature, and moisture content (MC) of MSW was investigated on syngas composition, H 2 yield, dry gas yield (DGY) and product distribution (syngas, tar and char). The results indicated that H 2 yield was improved from 212 mL/g (without catalyst) to 442 mL/g with Ni-CaO (NC) catalyst and further improved with the application of HfO 2 promoted catalysts (Ni-CaO-HfO 2 ). The catalyst with 20% HfO 2 (NCH-20) exhibited maximum H 2 yield of 597 mL/g. Moreover, a significant reduction in tar content from 8.79 wt% (without catalyst), 3.19 wt% (with Ni-CaO) to 2.81 wt% (with NCH-20) was also recorded with HfO 2 promoted catalysts.

This article describes the design and synthesis of MgO-modified Ni/CaO catalysts for sorption-enhanced steam reforming of ethanol. The results show that the introduction of MgO effectively increases the dispersion of CaO via forming MgCa(CO 3 ) 2 precursor. In the prepared MgO-modified Ni/CaO catalysts, metallic Ni exists around MgO supported on CaO. Both 100% ethanol conversion and >96% hydrogen purity can be stabilized in 10 cycles over the catalyst containing 20 wt% MgO. The interaction between metallic Ni and MgO enhances the sintering resistance of the catalyst. More importantly, reaction pathway studies have confirmed that the formation of CaCO 3 hinders the activation of H 2 O on the Ni/CaO catalyst surface, and thus inhibits the conversion of the reaction intermediates including HCO* and CH x *. MgO can dissociate H 2 O to form hydroxyl groups which participate in the conversion of the reaction intermediates, thereby the MgO-modified Ni/CaO catalysts have better catalytic performance and carbon deposition resistance.
