CO-Assisted Sugar Cane Gasification Using Transition Metal Catalysis: An Impact of Metal Loading on the Catalytic Behavior.

To meet the increasing needs of fuels, especially non-fossil fuels, the production of "bio-oil" is proposed and many efforts have been undertaken to find effective ways to transform bio-wastes into valuable substances to obtain the fuels and simultaneously reduce carbon wastes, including CO. This work is devoted to the gasification of sugar cane bagasse to produce CO in the process assisted by CO. The metals were varied (Fe, Co, or Ni), along with their amounts, in order to find the optimal catalyst composition.
