Abstract
The current work focuses on studying the aqueous phase reforming (APR) of pine and birch hydrolysate obtained from waste wood by using organic acids available from biorefineries. Processing of representative synthetic mixtures was utilized in the work in order to support data interpretation related to the influence of different chemical compound and processing parameters on the APR of the actual hydrolysates. It was shown, that hydrogenation of the hydrolysates prior to APR was not feasible in the presence of formic acid, which ruled out one potential processing route. However, it was successfully demonstrated that birch and pine hydrolysates could be directly processed obtaining close to full conversion. The best results were obtained with tailored bimetallic Pd-Pt/sibunit catalyst in a trickle bed reactor system in the temperature range 175 °C-225 °C.

Abstract
This work investigates H2 production through aqueous phase reforming (APR) of synthetic brewery wastewater in a continuous fixed bed reactor with Pt and PtRe (3 wt %) catalysts supported on activated carbon. The influence of weight hourly space velocity (WHSV) and superficial Ar gas flow velocity (VAr) was assessed for the sake of optimisation, while reaction temperature and pressure were maintained at 225 °C and 28 bar, respectively. H2 production was found to be higher using the PtRe catalyst at the lowest WHSV (0.03 h-1) and highest VAr (0.8 cm s-1). The comparison of the maximum H2 production obtained in this work (27.9 μmol min-1) with other treatment processes shows the potential of the application of APR process for H2 production from brewery wastewater. Despite the different reaction conditions tested, the catalysts showed deactivation with time on stream, which was related to the formation of solid deposits on the surface of the catalysts. Therefore, future research should be related to the development of more stable catalysts, strategies that avoid deactivation by coking and regeneration processes.

Aqueous phase reforming coupled to catalytic wet air oxidation for the removal and valorisation of phenolic compounds in wastewater. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2020; 274:111199. [PMID: 32805473 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2020.111199] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/11/2020] [Revised: 07/31/2020] [Accepted: 08/03/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
Aqueous phase reforming (APR) coupled to catalytic wet air oxidation (CWAO) has been investigated as an approach to remove phenolic compounds from wastewater, converting them into valuable gases. Partial oxidation of phenol was achieved in the first CWAO stage trying to minimize mineralization so to allow a high yield to valuable gases in the second APR stage. APR runs were carried out with different mixtures of compounds corresponding to phenol oxidation pathway (phenol, quinones, long and short chain acids) and representing different degrees of oxidation in CWAO stage. A range of TOC and COD removal (74-90%) was observed in APR stage for the single compounds, with higher removal for long chain acids. Likewise, long chain acids provided with the highest conversion to gases. APR of mixtures rich in acids gave the highest yield to CH4 (11.0 mmol CH4/g TOCinitial). H2 production was low in all cases, due to competing direct conversion of long and short chain acids into CH4. TOC and COD removal from wastewater was similar in APR-CWAO and APR, however the conversion to gases and the yield to CH4 were markedly higher for APR-CWAO, thus overcoming the difficulties previously observed in the direct APR of phenol.

Abstract
![]()
Carbon-supported mono- and bimetallic
catalysts prepared via incipient
wetness impregnation were systematically studied in aqueous-phase
reforming (APR) of xylitol aiming at hydrogen production from biomass.
The catalytic performance of several VIII group metals and their combinations,
such as Pt, Ni, Pt–Ni, Re, Pt–Re, Ru, Pt–Ru,
and Pt–Co, was compared for xylitol APR in a fixed-bed reactor
at 225 °C and 29.7 bar (N2). Ni/C, Ru/C, and Re/C
catalysts displayed significantly lower activity compared to others.
Activity and selectivity to H2 of bimetallic Pt–Ni/C,
Pt–Co/C, and Pt–Ru/C catalysts were close to that of
Pt/C. Pt–Re/C catalyst showed an outstanding performance which
was accompanied by a shift of the reaction pathways to the alkane
formation and thereby lower hydrogen selectivity. Addition of the
second metal to Pt was not found to be beneficial for hydrogen production,
thus leaving Pt/C as the optimum carbon-supported catalyst.

Abstract
This Review describes recent advances in the design, synthesis, reactivity, selectivity, structural, and electronic properties of the catalysts for reforming of a variety of oxygenates (e.g., from simple monoalcohols to higher polyols, then to sugars, phenols, and finally complicated mixtures like bio-oil). A comprehensive exploration of the structure-activity relationship in catalytic reforming of oxygenates is carried out, assisted by state-of-the-art characterization techniques and computational tools. Critical emphasis has been given on the mechanisms of these heterogeneous-catalyzed reactions and especially on the nature of the active catalytic sites and reaction pathways. Similarities and differences (reaction mechanisms, design and synthesis of catalysts, as well as catalytic systems) in the reforming process of these oxygenates will also be discussed. A critical overview is then provided regarding the challenges and opportunities for research in this area with a focus on the roles that systems of heterogeneous catalysis, reaction engineering, and materials science can play in the near future. This Review aims to present insights into the intrinsic mechanism involved in catalytic reforming and provides guidance to the development of novel catalysts and processes for the efficient utilization of oxygenates for energy and environmental purposes.
