A study of deactivation by HS and regeneration of a Ni catalyst supported on AlO, during methanation of CO. Effect of the promoters Co, Cr, Fe and Mo.

Energy storage from renewable sources is possible by chemical procedures, power to gas technology being a possible solution for long-term storage. In this work, CO methanation from a sulphur containing gas was studied, taking into account deactivation of the catalysts and a regeneration process. In order to improve the sulphur resistance of a standard nickel (13%) catalyst supported on alumina, transition metals like molybdenum (Mo), iron (Fe), cobalt (Co) or chromium (Cr), in different proportions (from 4 to 8 wt%) were added to the catalyst formulation.

Heterogeneous Catalyzed Thermochemical Conversion of Lignin Model Compounds: An Overview.

Thermochemical lignin conversion processes can be described as complex reaction networks involving not only de-polymerization and re-polymerization reactions, but also chemical transformations of the depolymerized mono-, di-, and oligomeric compounds. They typically result in a product mixture consisting of a gaseous, liquid (i.e.
