    m-Cresol was selected as the oxygenated model compound of biomass gasification tar to study the electrochemical catalytic steam reforming using the Ni-CeO2/γ-Al2O3 as catalyst. Experiments were carried out to reveal the effects of electric current intensity and reforming temperature on the m-cresol conversion, product gas composition and carbon deposition of the catalyst. In addition, the stability tests at 600℃ were conducted to evaluate the stability of the catalyst and the improving effect of the electric current on the catalyst stability.The results indicated that the electrochemical catalytic method significantly improved the reforming efficiency of the m-cresol.The conversion rate reached ashigh as 99.7% at 700 ℃ and electric current of 3A with 2.4g catalyst in the vertical tube furnace.The elevation of the temperature and current intensity could increase the CO volume fraction, and decrease the concentrations of CO2 and H2.Furthermore, the presence of the electric current also reduced the carbon deposition on the catalyst and enhanced the stability of the catalyst.

    During the multi-stage enzymatic hydrolysis of lignocellulosic materials, the product inhibitions were reduced by the removal of end products at each stage to enhance the hydrolysis efficiency and shorten the hydrolysis time with NaOH-Fenton pretreated mulberry as raw material. During the three-stage (8+8+8h) hydrolysis, as the enzymatic dosage was 15FPIU/g(calculated by the mass of cellulose, similarly here in after), enzymatic average reaction rate increased from 1.25 to 2.21g/(L·h) at the first stage, and after the second stage, it reached 1.54g/(L·h) and increased rapidly by 73% comparing with that of unsegmented hydrolysis.When enzymatic dosage was 40FPIU/g, the three-stage (8+8+8h) hydrolysis could reach 88.08%.Multi-stage hydrolysis made full use of the absorbed cellulase on substrate.The classical Langmuir adsorption isotherm was used to fit the cellulase enzyme adsorption on substrates.The adsorption capacity of cellulase on NaOH-Fenton pretreated mulberry was studied with the maximum adsorption capacity of 8.08mg/g substrate.The adsorbed sites were enhanced in the pretreatment process.
