Article Abstract
A supported tri-metallic catalyst (nano-Ni-La-Fe/gamma-Al(2)O(3)) was developed for tar reduction and enhanced hydrogen production in biomass steam gasification, with focuses on preventing coke deposition and sintering effects to lengthen the lifetime of developed catalysts. The catalyst was prepared by deposition-precipitation method and characterized by various analytical approaches. Following that, the activity of catalysts in biomass steam gasification was investigated in a bench-scale combined fixed bed reactor. With presence of the catalyst, the content of hydrogen in gas products was increased to over 10 vol.%, the tar removal efficiency reached 99% at 1073 K, and more importantly the coke deposition on the catalyst surfaces and sintering effects were avoided, leading to a long lifetime of catalysts.

Ethylene glycol (EG) derived from biomass and plastic wastes can serve as a sustainable H resource through steam reforming (HOCHCHOH + 2HO ⇄ 5H + 2CO). However, achieving high activity in H production with good selectivity toward CO under mild conditions poses a challenge. A thoughtful understanding of the active sites that accelerate the cleavage of the C-C bond rather than the C-O bond and the activation of the water molecule is still lacking.

The emergence of antifungal resistance in Candida albicans necessitates the development of novel therapeutic strategies. This study evaluates the antifungal and antibiofilm activity of biogenic silver nanoparticles (bAgNPs) synthesized using Staphylococcus saprophyticus bacterial supernatant. UV-Visible spectroscopy confirmed the formation of bAgNPs, with a distinct absorbance peak at 418 nm.

This study employed a pyrolysis-steam reforming reaction system to produce H-rich syngas from municipal solid waste (MSW) with sewage sludge chars (SSCs) as catalysts. To determine the most important SSC properties influencing H yield, catalytic performances of 7 different plain SSCs were compared to choose the proper SSC as catalyst. The pyrolysis of MSW and steam reforming of the volatiles were carried out at 550 and 800 °C respectively, and H production from different MSW components were also checked.

Hydrogen is widely recognized as a crucial element in the future energy transition to address climate change. However, the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with different hydrogen production routes vary, and there are still doubts about the GHG reduction potential of many routes. This study conducts a meta-analysis of 1283 assessment scenarios, reporting life cycle GHG emissions for 101 hydrogen production routes.
