Abstract

In order to account for the various activities of different nickel compounds in low temperature catalytic gasification of carbon the reducibility of individual nickel compounds in carbon dioxide to metallic was studied by thermogravimetry and the behaviour of mixture of nickel salts with a phenol-nickel formaldehyde resin char was investigated by temperature-programmed X-ray diffraction analysis. A correlation was found between the order of reducibility of the nickel salts and their order of activity in catalytic gasification. Low temperature gasification up to 98 wt% was demonstrated for char mixed with nickel acetate (up to 9/10 wt% Ni), which suggests that there may be good prospects for finding a method of complete gasification with nickel.
