Comparative study between supported and doped MgO catalysts in supercritical water gasification for hydrogen production

Different catalyst structures may influence the catalytic performance of catalysts in supercritical water gasification (SCWG). This study reports the catalytic activity of supported (SP) and doped (DP) MgO catalysts in catalyzing the gasification of oil palm frond (OPF) biomass in supercritical water to produce hydrogen. Two types of supported catalysts, labelled as Ni-SP (nickel supported MgO) and Zn-SP (zinc supported MgO), were synthesized...
