Atomic Layer Deposition Coated Filters in Catalytic Filtration of Gasification Gas

Steel filter discs were catalytically activated by ALD, using a coating of supporting Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> layer and an active NiO layer for gas cleaning. Prepared discs were tested for model biomass gasification and gas catalytic filtration to reduce or eliminate the...

description Steel filter discs were catalytically activated by ALD, using a coating of supporting Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> layer and an active NiO layer for gas cleaning. Prepared discs were tested for model biomass gasification and gas catalytic filtration to reduce or eliminate the need for a separate reforming unit for gasification gas tars and lighter hydrocarbons. Two different coating methods were tested. The method utilizing the stop-flow setting was shown to be the most suitable for the preparation of active and durable catalytic filters, which significantly decreases the amount of tar compounds in gasification gas. A pressure of 5 bar and temperatures of over 850 °C are required for efficient tar reforming. In optimal conditions, applying catalytic coating to the filter resulted in a seven-fold naphthalene conversion increase from 7% to 49%.
