Abstract:

We review global advances of synthesis gas production through biomass gasification and high value-added chemicals production through biomass liquidation.Development of high activity, high selectivity and good stability catalyst is an urgent technical difficulty of biomass effective thermal-chemical conversion. For synthesis gas production through biomass gasification, development focus should be a catalyst of tar cracking and ratio adjustment of CO and H₂ promotion. For high value-added chemicals production, a catalyst should reduce oxygen content in bio-oil, increase yield rate of required chemicals, and improve quality of bio-oil.
