Abstract: In this study, APR of various functional groups in biomass derived products over Ni/α-MoO3 catalyst toward hydrogen production and pollutants control was investigated. The effect of different AAEMs was comprehensively studied under a temperature of 225 °C and a residence time of 30 min. Findings demonstrated that Na, K, Ca, and Mg all showed hydrogen generation and total organic carbon removal capability, whose performances were competitive to Ni/α-MoO3 catalyst. Moreover, although the presence of single K suppressed the removal of total nitrogen (TN), the combination of K and the Ni/α-MoO3 catalyst exhibited the optimal removal efficiency of TN (69.92 %). A series of characterization results revealed that the AAEMs effectively prevented Ni leaching in the hydrothermal environment of the Ni/α-MoO3 catalysts and promoted the formation of oxygen vacancies, inhibiting carbon deposition and deactivation of the catalyst.
