  • Sulfur- and alkali-tolerant catalyst
    Publication number: 20070169412
    Abstract: Disclosed is an exemplary sulfided cobalt oxide catalyst that may be disposed on an alumina or other catalyst support, for use in destruction of tar compounds formed during gasification of biomass and fossil derived fuels. Most catalysts are rapidly deactivated by sulfur gases and/or alkali metals. Through experimentation, it has been demonstrated that the exemplary catalyst does not suffer deactivation caused by sulfur (as H2S), or sodium (as Na2CO3, Na2SO4, or NaCl).
