In a continuous tubular reactor, the gasification efficiency of solutions containing phenol, glucose or the two pure compounds are conducted in presence of an alkaline catalyst. The comparison of the gas yields showed that presence of phenol in a glucose solution decreased dramatically the conversion efficiency of the solution at the comparable operating conditions (pressure, temperature, flow rate, catalyst concentration). 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 gas volume (L) 5 Série 2 Série 3 Série 4 Série 5 1 wt % glucose 1 wt % glucose + 1 wt % phenol 1 wt % phenol theoretical sum 1.385 kg h-1
