Catalytic reforming/cracking of biomass derived tar using activated carbon supported iron catalyst for clean producer gas / Nur Hanina Malek

Biomass-derived producer gas has high potential to replace natural gas as gaseous fuel in internal combustion engine (ICE) but the presence of tar hinders its utilization for commercialization and requires effective catalytic gas cleaning. Nevertheless, a serious catalyst deactivation due to agglome...
