沼气重整可将CH

和CO

转化为H
2
/CO比可调的合成气,是生物质碳资源高值利用的重要路径。受原料组成波动、杂质扰动、积碳烧结耦合失活及长期稳定性评价不足制约,催化剂设计面临多变量、多目标优化问题。本文从建模需求出发,综述沼气干重整、蒸汽重整与双重整催化体系及失活规律,总结结构化数据构建、描述符选择、模型筛选、工况优化和多目标决策进展,并讨论人工智能与理论计算、原位表征和机理分析协同的路径。未来应明确数据来源与适用边界,建立数据、模型、机理和实验闭环迭代流程。
Biogas reforming converts CH
4
and CO
2
into syngas with tunable H
2
/CO ratios
offering a route for upgrading biomass-derived carbon resources. Catalyst design remains challenging because feedstock composition
trace impurities
coke formation
sintering
and long-term stability are strongly coupled. This review summarizes catalyst systems and deactivation features in biogas dry reforming
steam reforming
and bi-reforming from a modeling-oriented perspective. It further discusses structured data construction
descriptor selection
model screening
operating-condition optimization
and multi-objective decision-making
with emphasis on evidence levels that distinguish direct biogas data from transferable studies on related reforming systems. Feasible integration of artificial intelligence with theoretical calculations
in situ characterization
and mechanistic analysis is also examined for rational catalyst design. Future work should define data sources and applicability boundaries clearly and develop workflows linking data
models
mechanisms
and experiments.
