OP-II-3

OP-III-A-7Figure 1 shows the schematic diagram of reactor setup with a syringe pumpinjecting glycerol/H 2 O feed into the middle of the preheater through a long needle.The incoming gas, briefly heated to 180°C flows over the injector needle in the preheater,held at 290°C in order to ensure complete gasification of the feed. Thetemperature of the whole system is kept constant with the exception of the catalyticreactor which was varied between 200°C - 400°C.Figure 1 Schematic diagram of reactor setup.References[1] Klass D.L.
