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.

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 said fluidized bed reactor from an upper portion thereof;
- introducing air and steam into said fluidized bed reactor from a lower portion thereof;
- and
- allowing said biomass particles to react at the surface of said Rh/CeO2/M catalyst so as to manufacture hydrogen and a syngas.
A catalyst for gasification of a biomass, said catalyst being represented by Rh/CeO2/M, where M represents SiO2, Al2O3 or ZrO2.
