  • Method for gasifying biomass and catalyst used for said method
    Publication number: 20060032139
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method of gasifying a biomass, comprising heating a fluidized bed reactor loaded with a catalyst represented by Rh/CeO2/M, where M represents SiO2, Al2O3 or ZrO2, to temperatures lower than 800° C. introducing biomass particles into the fluidized bed reactor from an upper portion thereof, introducing air and steam into the fluidized bed reactor from a lower portion thereof, and allowing the biomass particles to react at the surface of the Rh/CeO2/M catalyst so as to manufacture hydrogen and a syngas.
    Type: Application

  • Method for the reduction and removal of nitrogen oxides
    Publication number: 20020094314
    Abstract: A method of removing nitrogen oxides from an exhaust gases by reducing the nitrogen oxides with an oxygen-containing compound in the presence of a catalyst containing an H-type ferrierite. The catalyst may include a metal ion and/or a metal compound or a third component such as alumina or silica.
