Abstract: The average annual global production of waste textiles exceeds 92 million tons, with the majority landfilled and incinerated, resulting in energy waste and environmental pollution. In this study, a thermal conversion process for waste textiles by gasification coupling with catalytic reforming under a steam atmosphere was proposed. The gasification performance of the waste textiles jumped with the introduction of steam and catalyst compared to pyrolysis at 800 °C. The syngas yield increased from 20.86 to 80.97 mmol/g and the hydrogen concentration increased from 17.79 to 50.91 vol.%, which was an increase of 288.12% and 186.18%, respectively. The excellent gasification performance mainly came from two sources: steam promotion for volatiles production and Fe-N-BC promotion for steam reforming of volatiles by Fe2O3, Fe3O4, Fe-Nx, etc. This study has achieved the efficient production of hydrogen-rich syngas from waste textiles, providing a new idea and theoretical basis for the effective removal and utilization of waste textiles.
