Abstract
A catalyst comprising a physical mixture of particles of a catalytic material and particles of char is provided. The catalyst can be used in various processes, including the reforming of tars present in syngas generated during biomass gasification. The catalyst is produced through a mechanical mixing of the catalytic material and char particles, which results in significant time and energy savings over methods of catalyst preparation that involve impregnation and calcining of a support material.
