Table 11: kapp,tar parameter for nickel based and precious metal catalysts<br />

Catalyst Type SV (1/h)<br />

Nickel based 6500 136.80<br />

Nickel based 10000 151.73<br />

Precious metal 6500 112.04<br />

Precious metal 10000 145.72<br />

kapp,tar<br />

(mTb,wet³/kg*h)<br />

The comparison of this constant for all the types of catalysts is presented in detail in Table 12.<br />

The operating conditions that were chosen for comparison for the iron based catalyst are for 860<br />

°C and SV=6500 1/h where the highest value of the parameter was obtained. Still the kapp, tar for<br />

iron catalysts is significantly low. The additional information for the nickel based catalyst is given by<br />

Caballero et al. 2000. However, it is evident that the nickel catalysts tested in this work have a<br />

comparable kapp,tar parameter value with the results from other researchers. As for the precious<br />

metal catalysts the parameter is high enough, but still lower than the one for nickel based catalysts.<br />

This is expected as the conversion of tars is a little lower too.<br />
