Steam reforming of model gasification tars compounds on nickel based ceria-zirconia catalysts

Abstract Gasification tars, leading to various process equipment problems, are undesirable products during coal and biomass gasification; therefore, catalysts for their decomposition are needed. Toluene and 1-methylnapthalene, as a model tar compounds, were tested in steam reforming reaction using ceria-zirconia based Ni catalysts.
