The tar was both thermally and catalytically cracked under N2 atmosphere. Thermal cracking experiment was conducted at 600°C, 700°C, and 800°C, while catalytic cracking experiment using waste wood-derived biochar as catalyst was conducted at 700°C. Biochar was produced by conducting slow pyrolysis of wood in the lab-scale. Thermal cracking of tar at 800°C significantly improved the H2 yield in the produced gas compared to thermal cracking at 600°C and 700°C. The results indicated a significant improvement upon the application of biochar compared to the thermal method in terms of H2 yield, tar conversion, and H2/CO ratio of the produced gas. The H2 yield from catalytic cracking at 700°C was only slightly lower than the yield from thermal cracking at 800°C. The weight of biochar was reduced by around 10% after the tar cracking experiment, which indicated that the biochar was stable under the experimental condition. Further study by conducting the tar cracking experiment using producer gas as carrier gas could elucidate the potential of the developed waste wood-derived biochar for industrial application.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Experimental conditions,N2 atmospheres,Pilot-scale gasifier,Produced gas,Producer gas,Slow pyrolysis,Thermal cracking,Thermal methods[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]biochar,catalyst,gasification,municipal solid waste,Tar cracking[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]The authors gratefully acknowledge the financial support of the International Cooperation Project of Zhejiang Province (2019C04026) and the National Natural Science Foundation, China (51976196).
