Abstract

This investigation shows the effect of a catalyst based on mordenite (natural and modified) impregnated with Ni, Ca, and K, on the gasification of palm kernel shell (PKS) in a lab-scale fixed bed reactor for hydrogen production. The influence of temperature (700, 800, 900 °C) and gasifying agent (CO2, steam, CO2/steam) on H2 content is also analyzed. It is determined that the modified mordenite impregnated with all metals presents the highest H2 production (72.9 mol%), in contrast to the non-catalyzed (N.C.) gasification with a H2 production of 33.6 mol%. On the other hand, it is concluded that the increase of temperature and the use of steam in the gasification improve the H2 content present in the syngas
