Bio-oil by-products are inevitable with biomass gasification. It is considered a potential resource for hydrogen production via steam reforming. This study investigated acetic acid as a bio-model compound using a NiAl 2 O 4 catalyst. The effect of reaction conditions on hydrogen-rich production has also been discussed, including reaction time (1 h, 3 h, 5 h and 7 h), steam/carbon ratio (S/C = 1–4) and the blend of NiAl 2 O 4 and CaO (1:0, 3:1, 1:1, 1:3 and 0:1). The fresh and spent samples were characterized by XRD, XPS, SEM, BET, etc. The result showed that the CaO addition has several advantages: 1) it increases hydrogen gas purification; 2) it prevents Ni separation from NiAl 2 O 4 ; 3) it decreases the sintering of NiAl 2 O 4 . However, Ca 5 Al 6 O 14 formation decreases the activity of hydrogen production. In reaction conditions, steam is an essential factor for hydrogen gas production. The S/C ratio = 3 shows the optimum result for hydrogen gas production. Although the higher S/C ratio = 4 can maintain the adsorption activity of CaO, it causes Ni separation from NiAl 2 O 4 . The blend of NiAl 2 O 4 and CaO is another essential factor for hydrogen gas production. Adding CaO has increased hydrogen gas production significantly. However, a little CaO in a blend ratio 3:1 does not maintain the stability of the NiAl 2 O 4 structure. In the end, the optimum conditions are S/C ratio = 3 and blend = 1:1 at 650 °C, which produces hydrogen gas yield (2.1 mol/mol) and H 2 /CO (5.83).

Hydrogenation saturation of phenanthrene (a typical component of coal tar) could not only improve the combustion performance of fuel oil, but also obtain the raw material for preparing high-energy-density fuel. Nickel-based catalysts have been considered promising catalysts for the hydrogenation saturation of phenanthrene due to their appealing capacity to activate phenanthrene molecules. However, the Ni derivation precursor greatly affects its hydrogenation activity. In this work, the NiAl2O4 catalyst was obtained by the sol–gel method. Under the experimental conditions of temperature 300 °C, pressure 5 MPa, and WHSV 0.52 h–1, the phenanthrene conversion over NiAl2O4 catalysts can be up to 99.7 and 93.9% for perhydrophenanthrene yield, while those of the traditional Ni/Al2O3 catalysts are just up to 96.8 and 77.3%, respectively. Moreover, the TOF of phenanthrene hydrogenation of the NiAl2O4 catalyst (3.01 × 10–3 s–1) surpasses that of the traditional Ni/Al2O3 catalyst (2.46 × 10–3 s–1), which indicates that Ni derived from NiAl2O4 has stronger phenanthrene hydrogenation activity. According to relevant characterizations, the superior hydrogenation performance of the NiAl2O4 catalyst derives from the stronger H2 adsorption and dissociation ability and the formation of an electron-deficient structure of active metal Ni, which contributes to the improved adsorption and activation of the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.
